School meetings, educational plans, and behavior supports can feel overwhelming, especially when families are trying to ensure their child is truly supported. This workshop is designed to empower families with clarity, confidence, and practical tools so they can participate meaningfully in the process without conflict or confusion.
Grounded in Tangerine Behavioral Consulting’s Steps to Empowerment Framework, this workshop helps families understand how 504 Plans, IEPs, and behavior supports work together to create access, consistency, and growth. Parents and caregivers will learn how to interpret plans, ask informed questions, understand progress data, and collaborate effectively with school teams.
Rather than focusing on legal language or confrontation, this workshop emphasizes partnership, proactive strategies, and shared goals. It supports families while reinforcing the positive behavior and problem-solving practices already used in schools.
Participants will leave feeling more confident, better informed, and equipped to support their child across home and school in ways that strengthen collaboration and lead to meaningful outcomes.
The Empowering Families! Positive Behavior Support workshop gives parents and caregivers a welcoming space to connect, share experiences, and practice strategies that strengthen everyday routines and relationships.
Guided by our Steps to Empowerment Framework (Connection, Confidence, Collaboration, and Change), this six-week series helps families:
Recognize the purpose behind behaviors that are challenging and learn what children may be trying to communicate.
Use proactive strategies to prevent behaviors from escalating and respond effectively when they do occur.
Teach and encourage positive ways for children to express needs and emotions.
Through interactive activities and group discussion, participants develop individualized behavior support plans tailored to their child’s needs, leaving with practical tools and the confidence to apply them consistently at home, school, and in the community.
Upcoming Session Dates and Times Coming Soon!
The workshop is primarily geared towards young children ages 2-8. If you need support for an older child or adult, we can arrange a workshop specifically for older children or adults.
A member of our team will provide individualized support to address your child's mild to moderate challenging behavior and help you teach them to communicate in more effective ways.
We work 1:1 with schools and families to identify the reasons behind a student’s challenging behavior and create a step-by-step plan for positive change.
