Addressing Challenging Behaviors: Neurodiversity-Affirming Strategies for Schools

Aug 13, 2024 | Learning Opportunities

The goal of this edWebinar is to share neurodiversity-affirming strategies that school leaders and educators can use to address challenging behaviors. Attendees will learn:

  • What “neurodiversity affirming” means
  • The difference between traditional behavior management and neurodiversity-affirming approaches
  • The root causes of common behaviors displayed by neurodivergent students
  • How to address challenging behaviors using strategies that affirm and empower neurodivergent youth

Attendees will gain valuable insight into neurodivergent students’ needs and how unmet needs translate into behaviors. The actionable strategies shared will empower educators and school leaders to make changes to decrease behavior incidents, creating a positive and safe learning environment for everyone. After the session, attendees will receive a guide that includes proactive and reactive ways to address common behaviors.

This edWebinar will be of interest to middle school teachers, school leaders, and district leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
