This interactive webinar will introduce participants to a family centered, positive behavior support (FC-PBS) approach to addressing problem behavior in children with autism and developmental disabilities in collaboration with family members in family settings in the home and community. Powerpoint-based information and instructor-led activities will introduce participants to key features of the FC-PBS approach, including the development of a collaborative partnership with family members, the conduct of a comprehensive assessment that includes a functional assessment and family ecology assessment, and the design of a technically sound and contextually appropriate behavior support plan based on assessment results. Selected readings and a bibliography of research on PBS with families will offer evidence of the scientific-basis for the approach. A tool kit of assessment forms, blank competing behavior pathways diagrams, PBS plan design rubric, and behavior support planning checklist will be made available to webinar participants.
