Practical Trauma-Responsive Strategies for Youth with Emotional and Behavioral Challenges
In this session, we demonstrate practical function-based behavioral interventions for students with emotional and behavioral challenges. We provide practical demonstrations on how these interventions can be applied in the classroom and as standard protocol interventions. This workshop is critical to educators or service providers who work with youth with emotional and behavioral challenges. Practical and doable strategies will be modeled. Real world video examples of each strategy will be shown. We will provide an engaging, user-friendly approach for social and emotional learning strategies with students who need them most.
