Do students you work with have challenging behaviors that are difficult to manage Do you find yourself out of ideas for how to address challenging behaviors This workshop is designed to help educators understand and prevent challenging behaviors. Strategies presented are based on the scientific principals of ABA and will aim to create a responsive learning environment to prevent challenging behaviors from occurring. In addition strategies for teaching appropriate replacement behaviors and tips for what to do “in the moment” will be included. There will also be group work case presentation and opportunities to ask presenters questions. Participants will learn:

• To understand challenging behaviors in students with autism spectrum disorders
• Common motivations or functions of engaging in challenging behaviors
• How to identify and teach appropriate behavior to replace challenging behaviors
