Coping with Challenging Behaviour

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

As part of foundational family services, you may choose to meet for an individual session with a family support coordinator after attending a workshop, to help you apply the workshop content to your specific family situation.

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 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.
