Webinar: When Problem Behaviour Happens for Children & Youth with Special Needs - the Role of the Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA)

Patty Petersen, BCBA; Monique Nagtegaal, BCBA

Description: 

This presentation begins by describing what a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) does then explores basic principles of human behaviour, including the nature of reinforcement, behaviour function, and how behaviour is strengthened to increase the likelihood that it will happen again. This is followed by an examination of how some of the symptoms associated with special needs diagnoses can contribute to problem behaviour then, finally, a five-step plan for behaviour change is offered.

There is no cost for webinars. Webinars use an online platform called Adobe Connect, which requires you to have a computer, internet connection, and access to a phone line. Adobe Connect works best in updated browsers such as Google Chrome or FireFox. To test your connection, please visit the Adobe Connect diagnostic page.
