Developed by Melissa Greenwood and Padmaja Sarathy
This course explains Positive Behavior Intervention Strategies for students with autism spectrum disorders as an easy-to-understand three-step process. Educators learn strategies to prevent challenging behaviors of students with autism, de-escalate meltdown situations, and teach students new skills — ultimately reducing the need for seclusion and restraint. In addition, the course details student- and setting-specific applications, as well as legal case examples, to illustrate best practices for reducing problem behavior among students with autism.
