The document discusses developing a responsive social and learning environment to support communication and reduce unwanted behaviors for students. It covers several key areas: 1) How the environment can support language development and encourage communication through various cues and supports. 2) Looking at a student's relationship with their physical, symbolic, and social environments to understand behaviors. 3) Ways to adapt the environment, such as organizing spaces, using visual supports and schedules, to increase understanding and independence while reducing stress. 4) Analyzing behaviors from an objective standpoint to understand their function and how to teach replacement behaviors through strategies like functional communication training.
