I truly believe that:

ALL BEHAVIOUR IS COMMUNICATION!​

​

• Is the student: tired, anxious, hungry?

• Let's look at ABA – ABC (Antecendents, Behaviour, Consequence). Change the environment rather than focusing on changing behaviour.

• Look at the behaviours. Is the student wanting to escape, seek attention, do theywant something, and/or is it sensory?

• Positive reinforcements.

• Watch for triggers - and move students out of the way when necessary. 

• Calm/sensory room, music, walk

• Create a safety/behaviour plan when necessary

• Problem solve - example: Kelso's wheel –

• Teach self-regulation

• Cool down, rock, heavy object, calm environment, weighted blanket, dim lights

​

Social Behaviour

​

Teaching how to interact socially can be important for students to achieve, and maintain peer relationships. We can do this by role-playing, using social stories (view different relationships/situations). Visuals are important as well as videos.
