EDU3007 - A New Lens for Viewing Behavioral Challenges in Children

Course Description

This webinar will introduce a new approach to solving children’s behavioral challenges, focusing on building a child’s foundation for emotional and behavioral control and moving beyond paradigms that focus on compliance and surface behaviors.
