Dates and Times:

Challenging behavior is one of the most common reasons families and early intervention providers ask for help. This session helps practitioners move from managing behavior to understanding, connecting, and teaching. Participants will learn to look at both the function of a young child’s behavior and the influences that make it more likely, including communication, regulation, daily routines, and family stressors. Grounded in the Pyramid Model and family-centered coaching practices, the session walks through a structured problem-solving process for coaching caregivers to choose prevent, teach, and respond strategies that fit each family’s routines and values. Participants will practice coaching conversations and leave with a one-page family action plan and simple data strategies families will actually use.
