This presentation is suitable for individuals working in an environment supporting learners with challenging behaviours and/or learners who require additional support.

The aim of this presentation is to give professionals and support staff an overview of how and why behaviour occurs, specifically what causes behaviour and what maintains behaviour.  We will also touch on why some behaviours increase while others decrease.  Following the functions of behaviour, specific strategies for classroom management are discussed. In this presentation, there will be an opportunity for two follow-up Zoom sessions and 10 one-on-one calls which will allow space for individualized questions and answers specialized to participants’ classrooms and experiences with their young learners.
