Understanding Behavior &
Supporting Students
with Ashley Campbell, MA, BCBA
Virtual
Date: 📅 Friday, October 16, 2026
Time: 🕒 9:00 AM–12:00 PM MT
Location: Virtual
3 Hours | 3 OPI Renewal Units
Supporting student behavior is a team effort. Whether you are a paraprofessional, teacher, instructional aide, special education staff member, behavior support staff, or another professional working directly with students, your observations, communication, and consistent implementation of supports can make a meaningful difference.
Join Ashley Campbell, MA, BCBA, for this practical three-hour virtual workshop designed to help school staff better understand why behavior occurs, how behavior is assessed, and how each member of the student support team contributes to effective behavior intervention.
Participants will explore the basics of identifying and objectively describing behavior, recognizing the functions of behavior, collecting meaningful information such as ABC data, and understanding how a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) informs the development of an individualized Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP).
The workshop will then move from understanding the plan to putting it into practice. Participants will examine their role in implementing prevention strategies, teaching and reinforcing replacement behaviors, responding consistently to challenging behavior, and providing meaningful feedback about what is—and is not—working.
A key focus will be communication and collaboration. Participants will learn how to share objective observations and concerns with teachers, BCBAs, school psychologists, and other team members; ask for clarification when a strategy is unclear; and recognize when additional modeling, training, or support is needed.
Participants will learn how to:
Target Audience:
