| Description: This workshop will describe a framework and various evidence based strategies for addressing the needs of young children with challenging behaviors and their families within early childhood settings. The workshop will describe methods for working as part of an early childhood IFSP / IEP team to conduct both direct and indirect functional behavioral assessments, develop behavior support plans based on the results of the assessments, implement behavior support plans in natural environments with the IFSP or IEP team, and monitor progress. Additionally, this workshop will identify possible barriers to developing and implementing assessment based behavior support plans within early childhood contexts. Finally, the workshop will describe strategies and provide tools for use within various early childhood contexts (e.g., home-based services, community preschools, Head Start classrooms). |
