A thorough presentation of positive behavioral supports and interventions in a variety of
school environments will be presented to conference attendees. Discussion centered
around how digital input is affecting our students and how to mitigate those influences
for our students. Learning and classroom behavior will be reviewed. Other topics
will center around types of behaviors: task avoidance, escape motivated, attention
seeking, behaviors that produce sensory consequences, and the role motivation plays in
behavioral success in many settings. The audience will be able to apply the information
presented through videos, activities, and examples of how to set up positive plans for the
students in a variety of environmental settings immediately in their respective situations.
The training will also contain discussions about setting limits that work and the
application of positive interventions in the regular education setting. We will examine
the common pitfalls that sabotage behavioral intervention plans and what to avoid when
wanting to make significant behavioral changes. Discussions of how to implement 504
Accommodations in a regular education setting will be discussed.
