Do your learners use behaviours which prevent them from accessing the community, or disrupt their learning? Are you struggling to understand why these behaviours are happening? Perhaps your behaviour intervention plans are not reducing the behaviours which they target? If one of these applies to you, or you would like to know more about the reasons challenging behaviour occurs and how to reduce it, our newly revised Challenging Behaviours, how to prevent, reduce and replace workshop will be of use. This highly interactive training offers strategies for navigating behaviour challenges with learners of all ages, in any environment. Using case studies and examples from your setting we begin the workshop highlighting the key concepts of applied behaviour analysis, helping you to understand why challenging behaviours occur. We discuss the importance of designing supportive learning environments based upon the Pyramid Approach to Education framework. The next step in the workshop is to define behaviours which require intervention and establish the function of these behaviours. These skills are put into practice using our own case studies and furthermore applying this to your own learners. The second half of the workshop addresses strategies which can be used proactively and reactively to decrease the challenging behaviours which you see in your setting. As we investigate each strategy to replace or reduce a behaviour you will have the opportunity to assess if that strategy will be suitable for your learner and identify the next steps to take when you return to your setting. The workshop concludes by demonstrating how you and your team can evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of your behaviour plans as you put your new strategies into practise. > Presenters were secure in subject knowledge.

By popular demand, we are merging our two innovative conferences into a single Pyramid FUNctional Conference, Beyond the Basics for 2023! Gain all the latest information on BOTH communication and behaviour-related content. This year’s two-day conference, led by the co-developers of PECS® (Picture Exchange Communication System®) Andy Bondy, PhD and Lori Frost, MS, CCC-SLP will be held virtually on October 16th and 17th, 2023. Day one will focus on the Pyramid Approach to expanding and refining communication skills. Lori Frost will kick off the conference with a presentation on ethical collaboration. Next, an entire talk is dedicated to teaching commenting skills. Critics sometimes falsely claim that Pyramid focuses only on requesting skills – so, here’s your chance to learn about how to expand communication skills to incorporate creative and meaningful commenting opportunities. The first day of the conference will conclude with the debut of a new talk that focuses on implementing strategies to expand communication skills for learners who have some speech. Day two of the conference will focus on a variety of topics related to the conditions under which behavior occurs. The conference will begin with a look at implementation of the Pyramid Approach to Education® around the globe. Participants will leave with fresh ideas to incorporate small programmatic changes that make big differences in creating effective educational environments. Next, our team will explore how prompts are used in everyday life with all new information related to assessment of prompt types for specific learners within carefully designed lessons. The conference will conclude with a full presentation on error correction with Dr. Andy Bondy providing new insights on the topic. Register for one or both days of the conference and learn why Pyramid continues to be the recognised leader in educational and communication innovations! WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: * Refine approaches to collaboration with all team members * Create lessons related to increasing communication skills, specifically related to speech and commenting skills * Expand the repertoire for teaching effective lessons by learning about new prompting and error correction strategies DAY 1: COMMUNICATION CONFERENCE DETAILS: DAY 1 Date: Monday, October 16, 2023 Agenda: 4:00pm- 9:00pm Check-in Time: 3:45pm- 4:00pm CEUs: 4.5 BACB Learning CEUs (Anticipated); 4.5 IBA CEUs (Anticipated); Cost: £65 for Day 1 only/ £120 for both Day 1 & Day 2 Tuition Includes: Detailed handout with space for note taking, Certificate of Attendance, CEUs offered (see above for details) DAY 2: BEHAVIOUR: UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS CONFERENCE DETAILS: DAY 2 Date: Tuesday, October 17, 2023 Agenda: 4:00pm- 9:00pm Check-in Time: 3:45pm- 4:00pm CEUs: 4.5 BACB Learning CEUs (Anticipated); 4.5 IBA CEUs (Anticipated); Cost: £65 for Day 2 only/ £120 for both Day 1 & Day 2 Tuition Includes: Detailed handout with space for note taking, Certificate of Attendance, CEUs offered (see above for details) Pyramid Educational Consultants is an approved BACB ACE Provider for Learning (Type 2) Continuing Education Credits.

Is your learner ready to transition to a Speech Generating Device? Do you need help selecting a device and/or preparing your learner for the transition? This training will help get your questions answered! With the current influx of communication devices and apps to the market how do we ensure that basic functional communication skills are maintained and taught right from the beginning? Speech Generating Devices (SGDs) were first introduced for people with motor difficulties like cerebral palsy and now these devices are being introduced to our learners with autism and other related communication difficulties. for these populations, language and cognition are often compromised and basic social and communication skills have not always been mastered prior to the introduction of a device. Because of this, the way we teach the use of SGDs needs to be specifically tailored to fit the needs of each individual paying attention to devices capabilities vs. user capabilities. This full-day workshop will describe procedures for analysing a learner's current PECS skills to determine candidacy for transitioning to a Speech Generating Device (SGD), choosing a device, and teaching functional use of the device, and why we must teach the basic principles of communication to our learner first to ensure positive outcomes are achieved. *Participants should bring a Speech Generating Device (SGD) to the training for use during a variety of activities. WATCH VIDEO [https://www.youtube.com/embed/IUAJySZHB3g] TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE * Review of the PECS Protocol * The unique challenges of learners with complex communication needs * Procedures for analysing current PECS skills * Determining candidacy for transitioning from PECS to a Speech Generating Device * The 5 criteria for appropriate device selection * Preparing the learner for the transition * Using elements of the PECS protocol to teach functional SGD use * Problem solving SGD use Tuition Includes: Detailed Handout with space for note taking, Delegate Practise Bag and Certificate of Attendance.

HOW MANY TIMES A DAY DOES YOUR STUDENT COMMUNICATE USING PECS? 5 EXCHANGES, MAYBE EVEN 10 OR 15… DID YOU KNOW THAT THE RECOMMENDED NUMBER OF PECS EXCHANGES PER STUDENT IS OVER 40 EACH SCHOOL DAY? If you’re not sure how to increase your students’ opportunities to communicate or simply want some fresh ideas for PECS in your classroom, then this dynamic workshop is for you! During this workshop you will learn how to embed and increase communication opportunities across the entire school day, from planning your lesson right through to some of the practicalities of successful implementation in the lesson itself. You will learn about increasing PECS use in familiar routines and activities outside of lessons, making the most of the entire school day. Using the Pyramid Approach to Education, you will consider the application of functional activities and reinforcement to support functional communication for all phases of PECS. Opportunities to complete lesson plans for PECS in different curriculum subjects will be built into the day, and you will get to see examples of successful communication opportunities in real classrooms from around the world.
