In professional development, it’s often said that behavior is a form of communication, yet we sometimes overlook the message it conveys. This can be especially true when working with individuals on the autism spectrum, where behaviors may differ significantly and are frequently misunderstood. Restrictive and repetitive behaviors are core characteristics of autism, but their underlying causes and effects can be complex. This training will focus on the role of restrictive, repetitive behaviors and how they impact daily functioning. Through hands-on activities and video demonstrations, participants will gain a deeper understanding of these behaviors across various environments. We will also explore evidence-based practices (EBPs) that promote self-regulation and skill development, equipping participants with the tools needed to better comprehend and address these behaviors effectively.
