The Common Sense Approach to Challenging Behaviors

In many cases, facility staff has not been properly trained to deal with challenging behavior. As a result, staff continues to simply react to behavior, as opposed to preventing or minimizing the behavior. This session will teach assessment techniques that identify variables that predict and maintain problem behavior and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of behavioral support plans. Using humor, Cat will cover common sense, "down-to-earth" techniques for dealing with specific behavioral issues. Both federal and state surveys are now taking a closer look at behavior management programs in facilities. Will your programs and interventions stand up to that scrutiny?
