When Actions Speak Louder than Words

The Institute’s Indiana Resource Center for Autism and Early Childhood Center will offer two regional workshops designed to build an understanding of how different behaviors are communicative, to understand what their messages might be, and how to begin to interpret those messages and to provide positive approaches for supporting behavior.

When Actions Speak Louder than Words presents a different perspective to support developmental strategies that encourage positive behaviors. This is crucial information to consider so that when an individual “misbehaves” we can learn to pause and ask, “What is this individual saying?”

Training dates and locations are:

· February 3, 2011, Lafayette, IN
· March 2, 2011, Evansville, IN.

This workshop is geared for early childhood providers, preschool and day care providers, early elementary teachers both general and special education, administrators, autism consultants, speech therapists, psychologists, family members, and any other professionals working with young children with or without disabilities.

Registration fee is $125.00 per person and includes a copy of the book When Actions Speak Louder than Words.
