This workshop, in collaboration with Sunbeam Community & Developmental Services, with teach participants the differences between reinforcement and punishment, as well as learn what reinforcement is and how this impacts behaviour. Information will be shared on how to establish motivation with your child/youth and use motivation for learning new skills. There will be some discussion on the reasons we engage in certain behaviours (the functions of behaviour); whether it is to escape a task, gain attention, access items etc. 

All workshops are for families with children/youth with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and are registered with The Ontario Autism Program (OAP).
