Autism - Positive Behaviour Support

Event Date: 
8 May 2018 - 10:00 to 15:00

UNISON Derry

Children and young people with autism can experience high levels of anxiety and stress and this often results in distressed behaviours. Responding effectively to behaviour remains a concern for professionals working within education. Early intervention and planning is important to ensure that children have an array of proactive strategies to defuse rather than escalate a difficult situation. This workshop will explore how core features can influence behaviour and the benefits of Behaviour Support Plans.  It will be delivered by Frances O’Neill / Majella Nugent, Middletown Centre for Autism.
