Full Description/Meeting Details:

This course will provide participants with the information and tools necessary to develop a functional behavior assessment and behavior intervention plan for ESE students whose behavior is interfering with their learning.  Participants will be introduced to a collaborative problem-solving process that will help them to document setting demographics, collect student data, and assess the function of the student's behavior. Participants will also learn how to develop a hypothesis to help guide them in the development of a competing behavior pathway.  As well as, learn the specific components of a behavior intervention plan and how to develop strategies based on functions.  Lastly, participants will learn how to evaluate the behavior intervention plan to determine if a change is necessary.  

This training will be located at the East Learning Community, Cottage 4 (601 Woodbury Road, Orlando, FL 32828/ behind Discovery Middle School). 

Course instructors: Lisa McDonald, Diana Ferreira, and Tracey Wollam
