Understanding Behavior: What Autistic Behavior Is (and Isn’t)
Challenging behaviors can feel stressful and confusing for families. This webinar helps parents understand why behaviors occur, how behavior functions as communication, and how to respond in ways that reduce stress and support emotional regulation—without punishment or power struggles.
- The four primary functions of behavior (Escape, Attention, Tangible, Sensory).
- How to identify the "need" behind a specific action.
- Techniques for responding that prioritize regulation over discipline.
