ECE: Managing Behaviors
That Are Challenging
EDUC.X324.34 (1.5 quarter units)
For children whose behaviors are extremely challenging,
early intervention is crucial. This course helps participants
understand attention deficit disorder, oppositional defiant
disorder, autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, non-verbal learning
disorder, sensory integration disorder, fetal alcohol
syndrome and emotional/behavioral challenges. With
exercises simulating the challenges, pain and frustration
of having special needs, participants come away with
more compassion, patience, coping skills and empathy
for those with learning differences. Concrete skills are
presented for changing behaviors. These include positive
discipline, effective communication, realistic expectations,
experiencing new attitudes toward these children, seeing
the world through the child’s eyes, and avoiding problems.
