Supporting Students with Non-Compliance: Building Emotional Capacity Series – Supporting Children Who Struggle with Non-Compliance

Join us in this session presented by: Alex Hirshberg, Psy.D. Alex Hirshberg is a clinical psychologist and founder of Hirshberg Behavioral Health Services. He has spent the last several years providing consultation, professional development, and assessment services for dozens of districts across Massachusetts. He received his doctorate from the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology. This training will focus on helping students who present with skill deficits related to cognitive rigidity and problem-solving that drive non-compliance and oppositional behavior. Participants will learn how to teach and practice replacement behaviors, develop antecedent interventions to reduce oppositionality, and how to leverage reinforcement strategies to improve engagement and following directions. This is Part 3 of the 4-Part Supporting Students with Non-Compliance Series. The series explores practical, tiered strategies for supporting students who experience non-compliance, avoidance, emotional dysregulation, and difficulty managing challenging situations in general education settings.
