Course Objectives:
• Model a neuro-bio-cognitive-behavioral understanding of attachment disturbances
  
• Offer a frame of reference for understanding behaviors resulting from the attachment disorder so ISP/support planning can reflect this understanding.
  
• Give support-staff a sense of perspective on the individuals they support, therefore reducing the likelihood that an individual's behavior will be taken personally.
  
• Suggest principles and guidelines by which support-giver can have a more positive relationship with the support-seeker.

George promises an opportunity to ask questions and tap into his dense practical experience & stories. Highly recommended for foster care providers, caregivers, family and support professionals working with children or adults with developmental disabilities who may experience thinking or impulse-control struggles day-to-day.
