FACT Oregon empowers families, youth, and communities to navigate disability systems, advocating together for disability justice and policy change so that people with disabilities have what they need to thrive at home, in school, and in their communities.

We work toward a future in which communities are accessible and inclusive, and where the self-determination of people with disabilities is assured.

November 7: “Beyond Behaviorism: Supporting Children Through Connection, Collaboration, and Neuroscience”

Join Guy Stephens, a nationally recognized expert on restraint and seclusion, for an engaging presentation on a new way to understand children's behavior. You will learn:

  • Why children's behavior is so often misunderstood 

  • Why many common methods of addressing behavior are not working 

  • How trauma-informed, neuroscience-aligned, and neurodiversity-affirming approaches can change how we see and respond to behavior
