This course is designed to help people who are working with children with challenging behaviors by bridging the gap between research and practice. When you recognize that a child's challenging behavior is rooted in biological and environmental factors and not a desire to ruin your day, it becomes possible for you to figure out what the child needs to learn in order to succeed.
This course is also offered in a series of recordings titled “Nothing I Do Works! Understanding, Preventing, and Responding to Challenging Behavior”, course 31152, which is offered for 3 clock hours (0.3 CEUs).
This course is also part of many of the CDA Packages offered by continued Early Childhood Education. Please visit the links below to learn more about how to use our library if you are interested in coursework to support acquisition of a CDA credential or to renew your CDA credential.
