Preventing challenging behavior begins long before a student reaches a crisis. This session focuses on recognizing early signs of dysregulation and implementing proactive, evidence-based strategies that reduce the likelihood of aggression while promoting safety, regulation, and student success.
Participants will explore the underlying factors that contribute to escalation, learn how to identify environmental triggers and early warning signs, and develop practical approaches to create supportive learning environments that help students remain regulated and engaged. Emphasis is placed on prevention, relationship-building, and teaching skills that reduce the need for challenging behavior.
This session is designed for general education teachers, special education teachers, paraprofessionals, related service providers, administrators, and other school staff who support students with autism and other learners with behavioral support needs.
This session is free to members of the Special Education Cooperative.
