Participants will be introduced to the ABCs (Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence), which provide a framework for understanding the underlying reasons behind common behaviors.Identifying these functions makes it easier to address a child's needs, reducing the likelihood of undesired behaviors. This approach also aids in planning for positive behavior changes. Parents will learn how to "meet the needs" of their child's functions by teaching more appropriate alternatives, allowing better behaviors to replace undesired ones.Various functions will be covered, including escape/avoidance, attention-seeking, sensory-seeking, and gaining access to tangible items or activities.
