Part I: The Utilization of Functional Behavior Assessments and the Principles of ABA for Severe Problem Behaviors in Children and Adolescents

• Who should attend? School psychologists, case managers, social workers, speech therapists, OT;s, PT's, child study team members, in-home behavioral health providers, teachers, parents, and clinicians
• What will trainees learn?  This workshop is the introductory level workshop, as compared to the advanced workshop discussing the analogue functional analysis. The Functional behavior assessment (FBA) determines why the individual is engaging in problem behaviors. Appropriate interventions are based on the function and the identification of replacement behaviors that preserve the function but accomplish it in a more acceptable way. Trainees who attend this workshop will practice methods of conducting FBA’s to develop function-based interventions that improve the likelihood the interventions are successful
• What do the trainees get? We are providing FOUR HOURS of NJ Dept. of Education professional development credits for school personnel. Participants will receive handouts and certificates verifying professional hours of attendance. A continental breakfast will be provided.
