Interaction Skills for Maximizing Good Behavior and Minimizing Crisis

This webinar will cover the relationship between interaction styles and the behavior of students, consumers and others who are served by schools and human service organizations. Topics will include recognizing coercive patterns of interaction (sometimes referred to as “power struggles”) and ways to reverse these patterns and build the kind of relationships that are associated with better behavior and fewer behavioral crises.
