| Event Description: |
This workshop is part of the Skills for School Psychologist Series. This presentation will focus on the practical management of behaviorally disordered/emotionally disturbed students (BD/SED). These students are frequently referred to as "tough kids" because they exhibit strong behavioral excesses such as arguing, noncompliance, and aggression; while at the same time they possess significant behavioral deficits in self-management (rule governed behavior), social skills, and academic abilities. This presentation will review what causes "tough kid" behavior, how to practically assess it, and strategies to remeditate it. An emphasis will be placed on proactive strategies and positive behavior management interventions such as Mystery Motivators, the "Sure I Will" program, the "Yes and No" classroom management program, reward spinners, a whole school positive discipline program (Principal’s 200 Club) and several more. Strategies to decrease the behavioral excesses of noncompliance and arguing will include differential attention, What If Charts, effective classroom rule design, precision requests, and a variety of practical reductive classroom interventions. In addition, information will also be presented on how to get other people such as parents and other educators to follow through and implement these techniques. There will also be an introduction of two new programs, the Tough Kid Bully Blockers program and the Super Heroes Social Skills Program for High Functioning Autistic Children. All the strategies to be presented will be research validated interventions that can be time efficiently implemented in classrooms at low cost. Registration deadline 12/1/15. Note-Due to funding guidelines, 120 seats are available for Oakland County Public School and PSA/Charter School employees at a cost of $15 per participant. There are 10 seats available for Private Schools and Agencies, and 10 seats available for out-of-county participants at a cost of $100 per participant.
