| Description |
As therapists, we are charged with the expectation to improve our client’s ability to complete a task, master a skill, or decrease the presentation of an unwanted behavior. Throughout the ever-evolving world of pediatric therapy interventions, therapists are faced with the challenges of managing behaviors throughout a session. These behaviors can be a combination of age-appropriate behaviors such as refusal behaviors or difficulty transitioning to non-preferred tasks, but some behaviors can manifest due to a breakdown in communication, frustration, sensory concerns, and inability to effectively communicate basic wants and needs, among a myriad of other possibilities.
Through this course, you will learn the difference between age-appropriate behaviors and other behaviors, how to identify the link between communication and behavior, how to use the ABCs of behavior to prevent negative behaviors and proactively support your client’s needs, and how to incorporate behavioral techniques into your daily therapy sessions. Join us for a crash course in the interlocking connection between behavior and communication and learn how to better serve your current clients.
