Filmed April 2013 – edited into 5 parts; total 65 minutes
This video reviews the results of a study that focused on the application of positive behaviour supports (PBS) with a deaf child who was also diagnosed with ASD and cerebral palsy. The content will focus on the basic elements of PBS, the generalization of assessment and intervention skills from a training to an intervention setting, and the impact of PBS on the target child and his family. The workshop will be relevant for anyone working with individuals with ASD who engage in problem behavior, regardless of their hearing status.
