All Behavior is Communication

This workshop is part of a Multiple Disabilities Series. This workshop will provide an understanding of Functional Communication Training (FCT) and its use in addressing interfering behavior. FCT is one of the most common and effective interventions for behavior problems. Functional Communication Training teaches the individual alternative and functionally-equivalent responses to his or her interfering behaviors. The individual is then reinforced for using those appropriate and alternative communicative responses.

Participants will learn about the three stages of FCT interventions: functional assessment/analysis, identification of a socially-acceptable communicative response, and the extension of FCT across settings.
