Video of the Week: Parent-implemented Intervention for Challenging Behavior

How can we better support people who have challenging behavior? When that behavior is related to communication needs, as it so often is, Functional Communication Training is often part of the answer. But how can we provide those kinds of supports in ways that are efficacious and feasible? And what about other sorts of behaviors that impact safety, learning, and quality of life? In today’s video, we learn about a parent training approach developed by the Research Units in Behavioral Intervention (RUBI) Autism Network. 

Many thanks to Dr. Bearss and the Els for Autism Foundation for making this archived webinar available.
