TRAUMA INFORMED ABA SERIES

Trauma Informed Behavior Management Workshop Series

Workshop Number: 1 of 3

Topic: Trauma Informed Behavior Management: Trauma Events as Setting Events

CEUs: 2 CEUs

Description:

Behavior analysts focus on observable and measurable behavior and direct function. This can make it difficult when trauma informed strategies seem counter to our assessments. However, if BCBAs and other providers that create behavior plans look at trauma events as setting events, they can create sensitive and effective interventions, which support all clients, including those who may be in foster care, school programs, or even simply living through COVID-19. In this 2 Part Workshop, we will explore how to identify Trauma Events, interventions targeting Trauma Event Setting Events (TESE), interventions targeting teaching Trauma Informed Replacement Behaviors, and interventions addressing Trauma Informed Consequence Procedures.

In this workshop we will focus on learning about Trauma Events and the research supporting its effect on the lifespan and then we will move in depth to review Trauma Events as Setting Events.

Learning Objectives:

• Attendees will be able to recognize and define a trauma event.

• Attendees will be able to define how trauma events can function as a setting event.

• Attendees will be able to implement a trauma informed antecedent intervention addressing trauma event setting events (TESE).
