What’s the Problem?
Preventing Problem Behaviors in Children with Developmental Challenges

In this seminar, a “Bio-Psycho-Social” perspective will be presented that considers the interaction of physiological issues, cognitive and social-environmental issues. Participants will learn about practical, respectful and innovative ways to assess, prevent, and support a child with problem behaviors, and to design learning environments and activities that support a child’s ability to stay well-regulated emotionally, to maximize learning, social participation and relationships in daily activities and routines at school and home.
