Behavioral Objective Sequence Training

Workshop Overview

Children and youth with emotional and behavioral disorders present particularly complex management and discipline issues.  Unfortunately, the current focus is often on how to suppress or manage the many diverse problems these youth present, while little attention is given to contributing factors, or to the developmentally insensitive manor in which they are treated in schools and elsewhere.  This workshop will provide instruction on how to use the Behavioral Objective Sequence, a practical and critical tool for integrating functional assessment into a model for determining students’ level of social development, and for preparing intervention plans that are effective and developmentally appropriate.
