General CEU: Managing Big Emotions and Crisis: Communicating and Collaborating with Teachers and Other Non-ABA Professionals

Managing Big Emotions and Crisis: Communicating and Collaborating with Teachers and Other Non-ABA Professionals becomes clinically important the moment a team has to turn good intentions into reliable action inside classrooms, school meetings, data review, and staff consultation. In Managing Big Emotions and Crisis Teacher Collaboration, for this course, the practical stakes show up in feasible school-based support, stronger collaboration, and better student participation, not in abstract discussion alone.

Course Description

Many behavior analysts receive little or no training on treating clients with trauma. In this presentation, we review what trauma is, where it can come from, and how we as behavior analysts can support our clients who have experienced trauma. First, we review the APA's definition of trauma, then how trauma typically presents in both physiological responses and operant behavior patterns. Next we review how "big" emotions typically present and how we as practitioners can respond with empathy. Finally, we review how we can support our clients' processing major life changes such as death or divorce, and how to maximize collaboration with all caregivers.

What You'll Learn

  1. Identify medical and behavioral strategies used to treat children with autism in a crisis state.
  2. Describe the collaborative approach between medical and ABA professionals in crisis intervention.
  3. Evaluate how crisis-state interventions can help individuals return to baseline and improve outcomes upon discharge.
