The Angry Child / When the Kid Who Can, WON'T are two half day workshops designed to assist special education/regular education teachers and paraprofessionals, counselors, administrators, inclusion specialists, assessment personnel, special education supervisors/directors, school nurses, child care specialists, and others who work with behaviorally problematic youth. The morning workshop, The Angry Child focuses on the cause and scope of persistent inpulsive and aggressive behavior, and offers practical, doable ideas and strategies for effective intervention and management. The afternoon workshop, When the Kid Who Can, WON'T, takes a hard look at defiance and noncompliance and offers interventions for dealing with them. Target behaviors include defiance, procrastination, pouting and stubbornness, obstructionism and forms of noncompliance and intentional inefficiency, such as "forgetting", task refusal and chronic episodes of missing or incomplete school work.
