This webinar will outline the principles of positive behaviour support, a tiered approach to prevention and intervention within an early childhood context and strategies to determine the function or purpose of a challenging behaviour.
Participants will walk away with a framework to assist in better understanding behaviour, how different vulnerabilities impact on emotional regulation and how to use that information when choosing how best to respond.
The workshop will also provide practical strategies aimed at increasing the participation of children with additional needs in the daily program with a focus on improving turn taking, cognitive flexibility, emotional regulation and social engagement.
