Webinar: Functions of Behavior & ABA Intervention Strategies

Webinar: Functions of Behavior & ABA Intervention Strategies — Behavior Frontiers

Have you ever asked yourself, “why does my child do this and how do I make it stop?” If so, you are not alone. In fact, it’s very common for parents of children with ASD to reach out in frustration over a child’s problem behavior.

According to Hanna Tucker M.A., BCBA of our autism center in Ventura, some of these maladaptive behaviors include:

  • Self-Stimulatory Behaviors
  • Non-Responsiveness
  • Aggression
  • Tantrums
  • Eloping
  • Self-Injury
  • Non-Compliance
  • Preservations

Hanna Tucker is the Clinical Director at our Ventura autism center. She has lots of experience in ABA therapy and assists children of all ages and diagnoses with their behavior problems. She knows how behavior works and can create good plans to help achieve goals.

Watch the webinar to explore how Hanna uses ABA interventions that address problem behavior. She includes her ABC assessment tool, which parents can use to effectively analyze situations that lead to problem behavior.

Our Ventura autism center is open and now enrolling! We provide a safe, fun, and engaging environment for your child. Our expert behavior analysts will work with you to design a care plan designed with your child’s specific needs in mind.
