Heartland AEA will host a one-day presentation on April 25, 2013, that will describe and illustrate how private events (e.g., anxiety, anger, frustration) contribute to disruptive behaviors displayed by students within school settings.
Dr. Mark Steege, professor of school psychology at the University of Southern Maine and a certified school psychologist, will describe and illustrate the Behavior Analytic Problem Solving Model (Steege & Watson, 2009) in analyzing the complex array of variables that elicit, evoke, occasion and reinforce disruptive behaviors. The presentation will include a blend of lecture, clinical examples, discussion and applied learning experiences.
At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be able to:
• Identify and describe each of the components of the BAPS model
• Describe how anxiety, frustration and anger contribute to disruptive behaviors
• Identify multi-component function-based interventions that address the complex array of variables that contribute to occurrences of disruptive behaviors
This workshop is designed for individuals with a background in functional behavioral assessment, specifically, educators who routinely assess and program for students K-12 with complex behavioral and mental health needs, including AEA/related services staff (e.g., special education consultants, school psychologists, school social workers) and district staff (e.g., administrators, behavior interventionists, guidance counselors, special education teachers).
