| Description: Challenging behaviors can limit the opportunities of the individuals we serve, including access to the least restrictive educational setting, community activities, and many other quality of life activities. This workshop will review the characteristics, limitations, and challenging behaviors that are often exhibited in children and adults with brain injury; identify and review skill acquisition and teaching strategies that are successful with persons with brain injury; discuss strategies to support individuals with brain injury in day to day activities; and review components of behavior intervention planning and strategies for successful behavior management. Practice sessions and hands on activities are included to increase learning and mastery to enable participants to implement strategies to support children and adults with brain injury in school, home, and community-based settings. |

Identify at lease two aspects of fluency training for classroom interventions
Identify at lease two antecedent training methods to address recall deficits
