Assent in Action (FREE hangout – live event only)

Join the PFA & SBT Community admins, moderators, and members in our FREE, live event, where we will be moderating an open dialogue about assent within the PFA/SBT process. Primary questions for discussion:

1. When you are honoring assent withdrawal, do you still target task refusal as a challenging/reduction behavior?
2. Is there a difference between task refusal and assent withdrawal? How would these be differentiated?
3. How do you work through instances where a client frequently says “no” or walks away when non-preferred tasks are presented? Is this task refusal, assent withdrawal, or both?
4. Outside of immediate safety risks/concerns, are there other situations where you would consider not honoring a child’s assent withdrawal?
5. How do you navigate honoring assent and assent withdrawal (and coaching your staff to do the same) when other participants (e.g. parents, school staff) do not agree with this approach or will not allow the child’s assent withdrawal to be honored when it comes to specific tasks?
6. Do you take data on assent withdrawal? If so, what does that look like?

This event is a live event only, with no CEUs, and will not be recorded.
