Parent and Educator Training Videos: Full Course

This video dives into strategies to evaluate behaviors to determine when and if behavior change procedures are necessary. Once a behavior has met criteria to require behavioral interventions, the foundation is laid to best guide interactions to target behaviors for change. This video lays the groundwork for preparation for behavior change components.

This video dives into evaluating the function of behavior to best guide our responses to behavior. Without understanding WHY behaviors occur and continue to occur, we cannot change the environment and our interactions in the environment to increase or decrease certain behaviors. By obtaining a deeper understanding of behavioral functions, we can make a more impactful difference on the behavior of those around us.

The first video on “technology” takes a dive into evaluating the benefits and detriments of technology and how to keep technology from damaging behavior, social skills, functional communication skills, and overall tolerance skills from

The second video on “consistency and routines” takes a dive into evaluating consistency and routines from a behavioral perspective. This video discusses how to best guide decisions with regard to not only responses to behaviors but also structure of the environment and their impact on behavior.

The third video on “picking battles” takes a dive into assessing situations where we should follow-through verses not even present the task request. This video discusses asking vs. telling our children and how we respond to behaviors can inadvertently reinforce undesired behavior.

This video presents 6 prevention strategies that are key to avoiding problematic behaviors. The prevention strategies of descriptive praise, antecedent expectations, preferred outcomes, first/then contingencies, directed choices, and making yourself valuable are discussed in detail and presented in a way that makes them applicable, realistic, and explains their benefit in real life.

This video discusses realistic, easy to implement data collection strategies that are doable for busy parents and educators. This video explains who to use data collection techniques to guide and validate the decisions we make as parents and educators.

This video discusses the myths, common misunderstandings, and common incorrect implementation of reinforcement. This video dives deep into understanding what reinforcement is so that we can evaluate our own environments to establish effective reinforcement strategies to make an impact on the behavior of those around us while simultaneously correlating reinforcement to the function of behavior.

This video defines and explains what positive replacement behaviors are and their importance. This video discusses the need for replacing problem behaviors with a more appropriate version of behavior while ensuring the positive replacement behavior correlates to the function of behavior.

This video puts all the information discusses together to create strategies to prevent problem behaviors, replace problem behaviors with positive replacement behaviors which correspond to the function of behavior, and using effective reinforcement strategies to increase desired behaviors while ensuring reinforcement also corresponds to the function of behavior. This video pulls all strategies together to gain an understanding of creating behavior intervention strategies.
