Are challenging behaviors impacting your child’s ability to learn? Individualizing positive behavior supports (PBS) for a child can be a very effective tool to improve a child’s quality of life, at home and at school. This workshop will explore the process of PBS.

• Understanding why a child is engaging in problem behavior
• Implement interventions
• Preventing problems
• Replacing behavior
• Managing consequences
• And then look deeper at the components of an adequate Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA), linking the behavior support plan to the FBA, and implementing assessments and interventions.
