Behavior Intervention using the Ziggurat Model FBA
April 26th, 2013
Addressing the behavior problems of students with ASD is one of the greatest challenges that schools face. Individuals with ASD often experience behavioral difficulties that have widespread impact on their lives. Without appropriate treatment and support, behavior difficulties may be present across the lifespan. Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) is an important step in designing effective interventions. While the FBA process is helpful in addressing significant behavior challenges, it is incomplete. In order to be effective, one must view behavior challenges in the context of the underlying autism spectrum disorder. This session provides an in-depth application of the Ziggurat Model to address rages, meltdowns, and difficult behaviors. Participants will learn to recognize precursors of meltdowns and to address problem behaviors comprehensively using the Ziggurat Model.
