Behavior in all forms, such as facial expressions and body language, can convey messages. This workshop will explore the nature of a child’s behavior, some possible root causes, and strategies to promote positive behaviors. We will look at various supports and services available through school and in the community, and discuss options for when more support is needed. ¨
