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 on an understanding of the setting conditions that explain behavior.

  2. Develop plans of support based upon understanding of factors specific to a particular child/youth, and factors that explain behavior.

  3. Utilize new understandings to update functional behavioral assessment practices.
