Facilitated by: Sarah Meka, MA, BCBA In this 3-part series, Sarah will guide participants by challenging educators to shift their thinking in how inclusive and proactive programming can look as they shift from an early years perspective to a school-age perspective. During the series, participants will learn about the escalation cycle, what it looks like, why preventative strategies should be prioritized, and general ideas for school-age programming. Teams are encouraged to participate in this series together. Surveys before and after the sessions will support Sarah in understanding current understanding and learning priorities for participants. Please note: the information provided in these sessions is for educational purposes only and should not replace individualized consultation from a BCBA, and/or with your All Kids Belong Resource Consultant. Registration is for all three parts of this series. Sarah Meka (she/her) is a Behavior Analyst based in Brisbane, Australia.
