Behavior as Communication: De-escalation & Functional Behavior Supports in General Ed Settings

Every behavior is a form of communication. When students exhibit challenging behaviors in general education classrooms, traditional disciplinary responses often address the symptom rather than the underlying cause.

Join our panel of special educators for a high-impact, 60-minute discussion on transforming classroom management through a functional lens. This webinar explores how educators can move from reactive discipline to proactive support by understanding the "why" behind student behavior. Participants will learn how to identify behavioral triggers, implement low-effort/high-impact de-escalation strategies, and seamlessly integrate Functional Behavior Supports into standard tier-1 and tier-2 classroom routines without disrupting instruction for the rest of the class.
