The Family Resource Center (FRC) of San Mateo County invites parents/caregivers to this online training on the ABC model of managing challenging behaviors for children with autism and/or developmental disabilities. This workshop is the second of a two part series. Part one will be presented the prior week on Wednesday, August 20th.

In part 2 of this workshop, parents/caregivers will learn:

• How to use the ABC model of behavior to create behavior plans to address challenging behavior, including:
• strategies to prevent problem behaviors from occurring in the first place.
• how to teach appropriate replacement behaviors.
• how to decrease negative behavior and instead encourage appropriate behavior over time.

Part 1 of this series helps parents understand existing behavior patterns. Part 2 will build on this information to help parents create proactive plans to eliminate challenging behavior over time. It is recommended that interested parents/caregivers attend both parts, if possible.

This training is presented by Project AFECT (Autism Family Empowerment Coaching and Training) of Stanford Medicine Children’s Health. Their goal is to support families of children recently diagnosed with autism through coaching and education.

Presenter: Abbey Herringshaw, PhD – Clinical Psychologist in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics
