Self-management strategies have been utilized as evidence-based practices for learners with a range of academic and behavioral challenges including autism spectrum disorder. Teaching self-management to students empowers them to regulate their behavior across many situations independently. Designed for occupational therapists and other pediatric professionals, this 2-hour webinar provides the steps needed to develop an individualized self-management system. This includes selecting and tracking target behaviors and skills, discriminating between expected and unexpected behaviors, learn self-monitoring and recording strategies, and self-reward for meeting specified goals.
