Functional Communication Training
Functional communication training (FCT) is a behavior modification technique used to teach individuals with developmental disabilities or challenging behaviors an alternative means of communication. The goal of FCT is to reduce or eliminate problem behaviors, such as aggression or self-injury, by teaching the individual a more appropriate way to communicate their needs, wants, and feelings leading to reduction of challenging behaviors and increase of learning.
The Crossroads of Mental Health & Neurodiversity
Both mental health and neurodiversity are concepts that have been receiving a large amount of attention within the education system. Strengthen teaching practices to best support educators around these topics by understanding the differences and relationships between the two and using proactive strategies to best develop the unique needs of students.
Student Self-Advocacy for the Win
Identifying strengths and building self advocacy are the first steps towards achieving personal and academic goals for students. Learn science-based methods to boost student self-confidence and achievement within and out of the classroom.
Behavior Support for General Education Settings
Managing students with IEP’s in general education settings can be challenging. Providing the correct structure behaviorally and educationally is critical to a successful year for the student and the classroom. Key components that can alleviate learning and behavioral issues are covered to assist teachers, paraprofessionals and
Strengthening Neurodiversity in the Classroom
The term “Neurodiversity” refers to the variations in the ability of human cognition of all individuals. It also includes specific cognitive differences such as Autism, ADHD and related conditions. Learn strategies to support the needs of neurodiverse minds in the classroom to accelerate the growth of all students.
Reinforcement is Key
Reinforcement is a key concept in behavior analysis that refers to the process of increasing the likelihood of a behavior occurring again in the future. It is a fundamental principle that underlies the principles of learning and behavior modification and is used to shape and maintain desired behaviors. By using reinforcement effectively, it is possible to shape and maintain desired behaviors and improve the overall quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities or challenging behaviors.
Applying ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) in the Classroom
ABA is an evidence-based approach that is guided by rigorous research and evaluation. It is a flexible approach that can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. While ABA has been shown to be effective in many cases, it is important to carefully consider the potential consequences of any behavior modification plan and to seek the guidance of a trained professional. By using ABA effectively, it is possible to improve the overall quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities and other challenging behaviors.
