Description of Workshops:
Session One: Understanding Behaviour:
In this workshop you will learn how to define behaviour, including examples of appropriate and challenging behaviour. You will learn how to apply the Antecedent-Behaviour-Consequence (A-B-C) Model, looking at the different functions of behaviour and general teaching strategies.
Session Two: Reinforcement 101:
Reinforcement is a key principle of Applied Behaviour Analysis. You will learn to distinguish between negative and positive reinforcement, identify possible reinforcers for your child and how to fade the reinforcers.
Session Three: Steps to positive change:
Once you understand why your child behaves in certain ways, you may wonder what to do next. In this workshop you will learn what happens before an undesired behaviour occurs, what to do after the behaviour occurs and how to set goals to change the behaviour. We will share strategies you can use to teach your child replacement behaviours.
