Description:
Based on an understanding of how the characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder may contribute to challenging behaviour, this workshop looks at the Positive Behavioural Intervention and Support (PBIS) model to support individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders in their communities. You will be guided through the practical applications of the model’s critical features, including prevention strategies, environmental accommodations, skill-building and reinforcement strategies. You will not only be taught how to prevent or reduce challenging behaviours, but to select functional replacement skills as well.

Learning Objectives
Participants will:

• Gain an understanding of the PBIS model and how it is applied in order to support individuals with challenging behaviours in their community.
• Review the functional behaviour assessment process
• Discuss prevention strategies
• Discuss the selection of replacement skills
• Discuss reinforcement and extinction options
• Apply these principles through activities and group work
