AutismBC North Shore Community Support Group Presents:

Sleeping, Eating, and Toileting Despite Severe Behaviours with Kathryn de Lisser, BCBA

TOPIC:
The presence of significantly challenging behaviours can impede the teaching of pivotal life skills, particularly: the development of appropriate sleep habits, maintenance of a healthy diet, and bowel and bladder continence. Kathryn will present effective interventions used to develop appropriate sleep, eating and toileting behaviours. She will discuss the significance of teaching important life skills at any age, effective teaching methods for teaching these skills, and effective interventions for reducing significantly challenging behaviours.

SPEAKER:
Kathryn de Lisser is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst who obtained her Master of Science Degree in Applied Behaviour Analysis and Autism from the Sage Colleges, in Troy, New York. Kathryn has worked with individuals with autism and other developmental disorders for over 15 years; beginning as an instructor prior to taking on the role of behaviour consultant. Kathryn works with individuals and their families through childhood and into adulthood, with a focus on working with individuals who demonstrate behavioural challenges. Kathryn has experience designing and implementing programs for many different learners with a broad spectrum of strengths and needs, as well as working with individuals who require support in home, community and residential settings.
