They also discussed the Functions of Behavior (Attention, Escape, Tangible, Sensory) and the ABC Model (Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence), guiding parents on effective home management strategies.

The session concluded with an interactive Q&A segment, where parents actively engaged with the speakers. The webinar was highly appreciated for its valuable insights, practical takeaways, and the Inclusion Team’s commitment to supporting every child’s holistic development and well-being.
