SPED*NET at the Library: A Yearlong Series Hosted by Michael Weiss, Ph.D.
Developing a ‘Behavior Support Plan’
Monday December 20, 10 am-12:30 pm
(Snow Date Wednesday, December 22, 2010)
Dr. Weiss will discuss the formal construction of behavioral strategies that can be useful in supporting a behaviorally challenged child, along with proactive strategies that influence behavior. Participants will leave with tailored lists of information relevant to using behavioral techniques with their child, such as ‘interest inventories,’ reinforcement strategies and forms of time-out strategies that may be influential with your child. Many of these strategies will flow from the development of a ‘Functional Developmental Analysis (FDA)’ discussed in the October 25th session. Coffee and tea served. All programs are 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Wilton Library, 137 Old Ridgefield Road, Wilton. Registration highly recommended. To register, please call Wilton Library at 203-762-3950 or SPED*NET Wilton at 203-563-9994 or e-mail rsvp@spednetwilton.org. Note: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
