Description

All behaviour is communication, and when it comes to figuring out what children on the autism spectrum are trying to say, autism expert and author Jim Ball, Ed.D., BCBA-D, has the answers

Offering a unique look at behaviour through the child's perspective, Dr. Ball will teach you strategies help to reduce challenging behaviours, including:

  • Figuring out why a child is engaging in a specific behaviour 
  • Building an effective child-centred intervention plan 
  • Teaching individuals on the autism spectrum how to change their behaviour  

Stressing how behaviour changes start with the caregiver, you’ll learn strategies to build your “behaviour-investigator” skills, which are essential to create effective intervention plans.

Dr. Ball’s philosophy is to help individuals on the spectrum, not to change who they are. To help them uncover, see and understand their strengths while shaping their unwanted challenges.
