A training reminder.....

Jed Baker is amazing! He presented here in Broward a few months ago. His focus is on social skills and behavior and how one relates to the other. Both parents and teachers would greatly benefit.

Social Skills Training and Managing Challenging Behavior

Many students with special needs present with difficulty regulating their feelings and interacting socially. This workshop describes how to handle meltdowns and design effective behavior plans to prevent these moments and reduce frustration and anxiety. The second part of the presentation details strategies to motivate students to learn, ways to teach social skills, how to generalize skills into the natural setting and increase acceptance and tolerance from peers. Information will be imparted though lecture, interactive exercises, and video clips.
