New workshop from Scott Noyes May 27, 2021 6PM-8PM
ADVANCED GUIDANCE Presented by SCOTT NOYES
This presentation includes an overview to the concept of "Functional Assessments." Believing that all behaviors are trying to say something, "What is she trying to tell us?" The focus of this workshop addresses "why" is this child behaving this way? When we can understand the motivation behind a behavior, our response can be tailored to the situation. Also included is an introduction to the "Pathways Inventory" and a look at some environmental components that may cause challenging behaviors.

Successfully sharing stories, songs and skills since 1994. How to Thrive in a Radically Changing World
They used to say that only two things in life are certain, death and taxes. There is now a 3rd thing that is certain, and that thing is CHANGE. “It’s not so much what happens, but more what you do.” Easier said than done, yet doable. So, if you want to do more than just “get by” and always react in a radically changing world, you need to look at ways you can not only “cope” with change, but even “THRIVE”. We’ll break down the change and transition process and review the skill of “Reframing the Situation”…you are also trying to create change in some form or fashion, so this can be applied to helping you be more effective in facilitating those changes. We’ll examine some recent research advancing the notion of “anti fragility” or being more resilient to what the research calls “black swans’ – isolated events that are highly consequential (think of 9/11, superstorms, COVID-19, etc) This research compels organizations and individuals to develop ways to be less fragile and more resilient in or radically and rapidly changing world..
This 1-hour Professional Development opportunity will be held on May 12th, via ZOOM from 6:00 – 7:00 pm. Attendees must be EITHER a member of VCCPA or Franklin-Grand Isle Starting Points Network to participate free of charge.
To register for this opportunity, send an email to fgistartingpoints@gmail.com with your name, email and BFIS number. A ZOOM link will be provided by email to registered participants on Tuesday, May 11th.
