Join Kristin Bayley, a board-certified behaviour analyst and speech pathologist, as she delves into the importance and implementation of functional communication training (FCT) for individuals with behaviours of concern. Kristin discusses her dual expertise, the overlap between behaviour analysis and speech pathology, and the essential role of FCT in improving the quality of life for those with unmet communication needs.

She shares insights into practical strategies, the significance of early intervention, and the critical concept of using low-effort, high-reward communication methods to replace problematic behaviours. Whether dealing with early intervention or residential care settings, Kristin offers a wealth of knowledge and actionable advice for practitioners looking to enhance their clients' ability to self-advocate and navigate their social environments more effectively.
