Effective Interventions and Appropriate Placements for Aggressive Students
Presented by Diana Browning Wright

Administrators and practitioners often struggle with chronic physical, social or verbal aggression from disabled and nondisabled students. Whether or not the misbehavior is a manifestation of the child's disability, you need to develop interventions that reduce future occurrences when disciplinary measures are unsuccessful. But how do you respond effectively, and in a legally defensible manner, when nothing seems to be working?

In this audio conference, behavioral expert Diana Browning Wright gives you a rubric for understanding aggression and applying it to behavioral issues. Join Diana for a lively, strategy-packed session where you'll also learn:

         •     Working definitions for aggression and how to distinguish the
                two primary deficits that result in aggressive behaviors

         •     Strategies based on understanding the two primary deficits

         •     How to apply the rubric logic to design interventions that are
                time-efficient and effective — and maintain the least
                restrictive setting

         •     When you should consider increasingly restrictive settings over
                altering the existing setting

         •     When the pattern of aggression suggests "child find" is
                necessary to determine if a disability is present

         •     And more

Plus, time is allotted for Q&A — so you can ask your specific questions.
