February 13–14, 2025 | 8 am–4 pm PT
BCBAs, BCaBAs, RBTs, paraprofessionals, special education teachers, special education directors, principals, school psychologists, superintendents, and school staff are invited to this two-day workshop with Dr. Greg Hanley February 13–14, 2025! At the workshop, you’ll learn more about:
- Practical Functional Assessments (PFA), which prioritize safety, dignity, and rapport with students exhibiting problem behaviors
- Skill-Based Treatment (SBT), which consists of progressively teaching communication, toleration, and contextually appropriate behaviors
Most children engage in some problematic behavior, but for some, it happens often enough or with such intensity as to be seriously concerning. Severe problem behavior happens, in large part, because it produces personally relevant outcomes. When children are explicitly taught communication, toleration, and other appropriate behaviors, they can learn to apply these skills in challenging situations and generalized contexts.
