Unlocking Potential: Using the Pyramid Model to Support Children with ADHD and Autism
This training will cover how to take a needs-based approach to common behavioral challenges that can occur for children with ADHD or ASD. Our goal is to give caregivers, educators, and early childhood professionals tools to support the children in their care with practical strategies for preventing challenging behaviors, promoting positive ones, and responding to challenges when they occur.
