  • Yelling Doesn’t Work! Free Parenting Workshop

    FRAMINGHAM, MA — “Yelling Doesn’t Work!” workshop on what you can do to help a child with special needs comply at home and in the classroom using positive behavioral supports will be held Tuesday, April 8, 7 – 9 p.m. at the King Building.

    Yelling does not teach the necessary skills a child needs to learn in order to comply. This presentation provides insight into why a child with special needs misbehaves and how changing your behavior will in turn change theirs.

    Learn to recognize the function of behavior and how a front-end approach will show results. Functional Assessments, which are at the heart of a Positive Behavior Support Plan, are discussed at length and samples plans are provided.

    This workshop was created by Rebecca Goniwich, Barbara Gopen Memorial Fellow, in collaboration with the Federation for Children with Special Needs (FCSN).
