Join Free →Honoring a child's willingness to participate isn't just ethical—it's foundational to effective, compassionate care. This CEU equips supervisors with the tools to train and support staff in recognizing assent and dissent cues, integrating assent-based practices into BST, fidelity checks, and feedback systems. We'll also address the real-world barriers—like staff resistance, skill gaps, and productivity pressures—that can lead to unintentional coercion. Attendees will leave with practical strategies to build a culture where assent is consistently prioritized and respected.
