Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn from Sue practical tips & strategies to make a difference.

In this episode, we will discuss:

✅ Behavior is Communication: Every action tells us something important. ✅ Environment Shapes Outcomes: Autism plus environment equals behavior outcome. ✅ Transitions Trigger Challenges: Most behaviors occur during transition times. ✅ Visual Supports Essential: Keep visuals going especially during transitions. ✅ Connection Before Correction: Build relationships to transform challenging behaviors. ✅ Executive Functioning Matters: Floor dropping indicates overwhelm, not defiance. ✅ Sensory Needs Drive Behavior: Clicking, vocalizing help students stay regulated.
