APF's Parent Education Masterclass: Targeting Replacement Behaviors
| These presentations focus on teaching replacement behaviors when children engage in challenging behaviors. They explain that all behavior has a purpose (e.g., attention, escape, access to items, sensory needs). Parents learn how to identify the function of behavior, teach new skills that serve the same purpose, and reinforce positive behaviors. Proactive and reactive strategies are shared, including shaping, prompting, planned ignoring, and crisis management. |
