Using Functional Thinking to Develop Effective Behavior Interventions
Presented by OPS School Psychologists
Have you tried every thing you can think of and still the student's behavior does not change? It's time to get rid of the fluff and focus on the function! If you want to successfully change the behavior then you'll need to understand the "why" behind behavior. The focus of this presentation will be on supporting staff to understand behavior, ways to prevent unwanted behaviors, and determine appropriate behaviors for the students to engage in to help the student be successful in school, using a straight forward function-based visual process.
TECH Requests: Aaron has asked that you send your requests to the HelpDesk Requests (email). Stating that you are at Standing Bear and the issue. They will then direct all the jobs out to him. He will be here Tuesday!
Have a great week!
