Tri-State Webinar: Trauma Informed Practices: Understanding Why Kids do What they Do

WEBINAR DESCRIPTION 

Trauma impacts brain development and behavior. When behavior is a barrier to personal goals, trauma informed practices flavor the support plan with understanding and empathy.  Thus, a trauma informed perspective is helpful when assisting another person.  This perspective starts with the question, “Why?”

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

        After attending this webinar participants will:

1. Develop plans of support based upon understanding of setting conditions that explain behavior.
2. Develop plans of support based upon understanding of factors specific to a particular child/youth, factors that explain behavior.
3. Utilize new understandings to update functional behavioral assessment practices.
