Description: Have you ever implemented a behavior management plan only to discover that it works beautifully for the students who don’t need it? Now what? This presentation will provide points to ponder when responding to challenging behavior demonstrations that may disrupt the learning/teaching environment. Techniques will emphasize taking a closer look at how to enhance and promote proactive vs. reactive responses when developing your intervention strategies while keeping in “mind” how the brain learns.

Objectives: Participants will be able to identify specific frameworks for developing meaningful behavior intervention practices

• recognize brain activity that occurs during behavior demonstrations that interfere with  

   learning/teaching

• apply “self” skills which promote safety and accountability when intervening during challenging

   behavior demonstrations

• navigate the preparation/implementation of a crisis team for responding to extreme behaviors

• demonstrate intervention practices that emphasize ownership of behavior

• re-evaluate practices involved in data collection for the purpose of writing productive

   behavior intervention plans
