Behavior Management Training for Shadow Teachers Held on 15-16th June 培训回顾：行为管理实践技能培训班于6月15日-6月16日成功举办

Some questions are often bothering the parents and the teachers. For example, why doesn’t my child listen to me? Why does my student walk around the classroom while others are sitting in a circle? Why does my student always use a high voice in my class? Challenging behavior can be “challenging” to deal with.

On 15th and 16th June 2019, LIH Olivia’s Place organized a Behavior Management Training class for 15 people. The participants included parents, teachers, and shadow teachers (i.e. learning aids). Lee ChunMae, the Board Certified Behavior Analyst, walked the trainees through the two-day training. The training aims to enable parents and teachers with knowledge and skills to address a child’s challenging behaviors. The first-day training included theory introduction about ABA, Function Behavior, ABC’s of Behavior, Behavior Assessment and Functional Reinforcement, and Punishment & Extinction. On day two, the training goes deeper and more practical with practices on behavior intervention, assessing and identifying skills to teach managing stress and feeding problems.

This training is based on the Early Intensive Behavior Intervention (EIBI), which is an evidence-based program and has been proven to be effective for children with autism and other challenging behaviors. Having worked with the international schools in Shanghai over the last few years, we noticed that there is a need for shadow teachers to support students to fit in to the school. We developed this training to support the attendees to have a better understanding of children with difficult behaviors and become more capable of addressing their behavior. The shadow teacher trainees can also get 1 to 1 coaching with our specialists to become more competent in their work with children.
The training was delivered in Chinese with bilingual powerpoint slides. It can be delivered in English upon request. Contact us to get to know about our future workshops or book a workshop for your institution.

6月15日-6月16日，上海长和大蕴进行了为期两天的行为管理技能培训。本次培训由长和大蕴应用行为分析专家Lee Chun Mae主讲，共有15位学员参与了此次技能培训。

本次培训采取“理论教学+实操”的授课模式，第一天主要为应用行分析的理论介绍，主要围绕什么是应用行为分析（ABA)，目前教师、家长以及相关从业人员对ABA的误解，问题行为以及相应行为背后的功能进行阐释。

第二天主要是行为干预方案的内容介绍，包括行为管理方案、评估和鉴别技能缺陷、摄食问题及干预、睡眠问题及干预以及照顾好自己等方面进行分享。

课程上，参与培训的老师会根据自己在平时上课过程中接触ASD小朋友遇到的各种行为问题进行分享，家长也大方分享了自己孩子目前存在的行为问题，在场的老师也会积极给出自己的意见。家长跟老师可以交流彼此关于孩子方面的信息以及顾虑，对彼此都多了一分信任跟理解！

ABA其实也不仅限于自闭症儿童，不只针对行为干预，也不仅限于行为分析师使用；在相关专业人士的引导下，ABA的方法和策略可运用在各个年龄阶层、有或没有特殊需求的个体，每个人都会是ABA是使用者与践行者！
