Autism Services – Coping with Challenging Behaviour

Maltby Centre is now offering a new series of online workshops for parents and caregivers! These workshops are designed to help parents understand concepts related to Applied Behaviour Analysis, access resources and increase overall parent capacity. This online workshop is for parents living in Ontario with a valid OAP registration number.

This presentation is designed to help parents create strategies to reduce challenging behaviours by identifying why the behaviour is occurring in the first place, how we can stop reinforcing the behaviour to ensure it happens less in the future and how we can start reinforcing other behaviours to replace it. As part of Foundational Family Services, you may choose to meet for an individual session with a Family Support Coordinator following this presentation to help you apply the content of this workshop to your specific family situation.

As a result of participating in this workshop, you will be able to:

• Identify the four functions of behaviour
• Learn strategies related to not reinforcing each function of behaviour
• Learn how to use motivation and reinforcement to encourage replacement behaviours

Requirements: To access this workshop, or a follow-up session, you will need a valid Ontario Autism Program Reference number. If you do not have an OAP Reference number, please contact the Maltby Centre at 613-546-8535 and ask to speak to a Family Support Coordinator. This is a free workshop.

Please note this workshop is only offered in English.
