Calling all Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), Speech-Language Pathology Assistants (SLP- Assistants) and Related Service Providers: Join us for a day of summer learning to explore practical ways to address interfering behavior in therapy. There are some practical, cost-effective tools, strategies, and tips that can often go a long way in assisting clinicians in gaining control of challenging situations to build positive relationships with clients and result in progress in speech, language, or motor function. The rationale behind why and how to use these tools/strategies will be shared so that participants have a better understanding of the related foundational concepts and are better prepared to apply them appropriately to a variety of situations spanning a range of complexity. Additionally, the actual tools/strategies themselves will be shared, with application to client case examples. 1. The participant will be able to identify the Three-Part Model for effective treatment planning that accounts for common needs in dealing with challenging behaviors. 2. The participant will be able to identify the steps in evaluating a challenging behavior and make a therapeutic application of that information. 3. The participant will be able to pair at least three common challenging behaviors with a cost-effective, language-based, behavior management tool.
