The Promotion of Positive Behaviour

Children with autism can experience elevated levels of frustration, anxiety and stress often resulting in distressed behaviours. Responding effectively to behaviour remains a concern for parents of children with autism.

Early intervention and planning are important to ensure that children have an array of proactive strategies to defuse rather than escalate a demanding situation.

This session will examine how the core features of autism can influence the behaviour of children. This session has been designed to consider the needs of children in the 4-11 years age range.

Expected Outcomes:

Parents and family members will:

Understand how the core features of autism can influence behaviour.
Understand the importance of identifying the function of a behaviour.
Learn practical strategies for recognising early warning signs, making positive interventions and reducing potential triggers.
Anxiety and its impact on behaviour.
