Description:<\/p>\n
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports that 1 in 4 13-18 year
\nolds has had an anxiety disorder in their lifetime. Without
\nintervention, these children are at risk for poor performance,
\ndiminished learning, and social\/behavior problems in school.
\nUnderstanding the role anxiety plays in a student\u2019s behavior is
\ncrucial and using preventive strategies are key to successful
\nintervention. Effective behavior plans for these students must avoid
\nthe reward and punishment-based consequences from traditional behavior
\nplans and focus instead on the use of preventive strategies and on
\nexplicitly teaching coping skills, self-monitoring, and alternative
\nresponses.<\/p>\n
Easy to implement preventive tools, strategies, and interventions for
\nreducing anxiety, increasing self-regulation, executive functioning,
\nand self-monitoring will be discussed.<\/p>\n
Presented by: Jessica Minahan MEd, BCBA<\/p>\n
