Supporting Students with Complex Needs with Victoria Veneziano

Описание: In this episode of The Language of Behavior, Josh and Charle sit down with special education leader Victoria Veneziano to explore how we can better support students with complex behavioral and emotional needs. Drawing from her experience in special education and systems-level work, Victoria unpacks practical ways to build trust with students, collaborate with families, and partner with classroom teachers so behavior supports feel proactive instead of punitive. She also discusses how to navigate limited resources, advocate for appropriate placements and services, and care for the adults doing this challenging work. This conversation is filled with real-world examples, compassionate reframes, and strategies you can apply immediately in your school.
