Behavioral Dimensions

Parent Resources at BDI

Parents are also recipients of our services! We offer support to parents to help them manage their child’s behavior more successfully, and teach them how to teach their child new skills. Our staff partner up with parents to teach their child other things that are important to them…being able to take the child to new places in the community, decreasing stereotypic or tantrum behavior that interfere with inclusion in activities the child could learn or enjoy, and being able to play by themselves or with other kids. We also address important skills for daily life, such as toilet training, eating a greater variety of foods, and sleeping in their own bed.

General Interaction Strategies Workshops

Behavioral Dimensions also has workshops developed to equip parents, extended family members, friends, personal care assistants, teachers, group home staff and day treatment staff to be more effective with children or adults who engage in challenging behavior. General Interaction Strategies (GIS) provide caregivers with a solid foundation of skills that are frequently used when interacting with children or adults who may engage in challenging behavior.

GIS Workshops are available in a variety of training sessions from 1:1 sessions with a family or staff member to entire family or team of staffs can be trained. For more information on our training sessions visit our GIS Workshops page.
