A Developmental Approach to Managing Problem Behaviors


Common problem behaviors associated with autism and developmental disabilities (including tantrums, non-compliance, aggression) can interfere with day-to-day activities at home, in school and in public. A variety of strategies based on the basic concepts of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) will be shared that can help children and families prevent and reduce these daily problems.  Dr. Olsen will also highlight tips for sibling behaviors toward their brother or sister with autism, how to involve them with each other, and provide parents/caregivers with ideas on how to prioritize the typical sibling too. 

Training is FREE and registration is REQUIRED
