Gloucester Township Special Parent's & Kid's Network (SPKN) Meeting & Guest Speaker

SPKN is proud to welcome Justin DiDomenico, M.S.Ed., BCBA to help parents of typically developing and special needs children get answers.
Does your child throw a tantrum until they get what they want?
Do they act out in order to avoid doing school work or chores?
Self-stimulatory behaviors like head banging, rocking, peering out of the corners of the eyes or putting things in the mouth?
Join us for a presentation on how to identify the underlying cause of your child's behavior and help in developing a plan for them to succeed.

  • What is functional assessment?
  • How to address problematic behavior from a behavior analyst's approach
