Course Description
Problem behaviours are common when working with children, particularly in Applied Behaviour Analysis. As clinicians, we understand that learners use problem behaviours as a form of communication and tend to repeat behaviours that have been reinforced. Our goal is to teach more appropriate replacement behaviours.
This course focuses on deconstructing replacement behaviours - teaching functionally equivalent but more socially appropriate alternatives to observed problem behaviours. We will explore:
- What replacement behaviours are
- Why we should teach them
- How to teach them safely and respectfully, building rapport and trust with clients
Course Objectives
Participants will:
- Understand replacement behaviours and their importance in teaching and learning plans
- Learn key components in teaching replacement behaviours
- Identify common replacement behaviours and their role in shaping functional skills and reducing problem behaviour
- Recognize that essential skills are important for all learners, not just those with problem behaviours
- Cover key concepts such as functional communication training, tolerating delays and denials, managing interruptions and transitions, and cooperating with instructions
