Reality Bites! Strategies for Self-Injurious Students
When working with students who engage in self-injurious behaviors, it’s important to know the function(s) of this behavior, provide antecedent-based strategies, and redirect students safely and effectively. This session will teach participants how to 1) recognize antecedents to self-injury, 2) provide proactive supports, 3) teach replacement behaviors (including sensory strategies, communication supports, and environmental manipulation) and 4) effectively reinforce these replacement behaviors for long-term change.
