Topic: Challenging Behaviors
Date/Time: Thursday, March 21, 2024 from 6:30pm to 8:00pm, ET
Session 3 of this special education series is presented by:
- Jared Oberweis, Hinkle, Prior & Fischer, Disability Rights Attorney
- Heidi Spiegel, Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Children’s Specialized Hospital
About this session:
Sometimes students with disabilities exhibit challenging behaviors that interfere with their abilities to benefit from special education. To the extent that educators and parents focus upon managing or limiting problem behaviors – whether the goal is to prevent injury, avoid disciplinary action, or to promote positive social interactions – the student often miss valuable opportunities to engage in more constructive activities. This session will explore the obligations of school districts to address behavioral challenges that result from children’s disabilities. The presenters will review evidence-based approaches to addressing challenging behaviors, and the need to develop appropriate behaviors and foster generalization. Particular attention will be paid to the obligations of school districts and other agencies to address challenging behaviors that arise in the home and community.
