During this training, we will explore ways to foster safety, success, independence, and connectedness by using proactive and responsive strategies. We will also address how meeting these needs can impact behavior and lay the foundation for all development and learning. TSBVI’s (Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired) Guidance for Planning Behavior Intervention for Children and Young Adults who are Deafblind or have Visual and Multiple Impairments will provide the framework for this training.

Participants will:
Learn and understand how sensory differences affect social-emotional development
Learn and understand how to use the behavior guidance document
Engage in activities that will reinforce proactive and positive strategies designed to reduce distress
