- Schools are in great need of systems, processes, and personnel who are able to support the needs of students with problem behavior.
- Information has not been made available to teachers and other professionals in a format that allows these strategies to become common practice.
- Many teachers choose isolated behavioral strategies that are not applied after the problem behavior has occurred.
- We are often expending more of our energy by not taking time to implement a more comprehensive approach.
- In many cases you will need only a few of these strategies in place to create a positive behavioral support plan.
- Enhancing a student's quality of life can decrease the frequency and intensity of problem behavior and reduce the need for more intrusive intervention procedures.
- A student will respond differently depending upon the actions and reactions of the individuals around him.
- Behaviors that occur repeatedly are often serving a useful function for the student.
- Positive behavioral support strategies make problem behavior irrelevant by redesigning the environment.
- Positive behavioral support strategies teach students new skills that are meant to replace the problem behavior with a socially acceptable alternative.
- Addressing the larger social context surrounding a student can reduce the amount of time spent implementing intensive positive behavioral support plans.
- Functional assessment gathers information regarding the events that both immediately precede problem behavior and the situations where a student is successful.
- It is rare to find one behavioral intervention that addresses the function of a problem behavior in each situation and setting.
- Positive behavioral support strategies include multicomponent intervention plans.
- The hypothesis statement is a summary of the evidence you have collected in the functional assessment.
- Setting events alter the likelihood that a problem behavior will occur.
- An antecedent is something that immediately precedes the occurrence of problem behavior.
- A hypothesis statement should describe what the problem behavior looks like.
- A consequence is the result that a problem behavior produces for the student.
- Each element of the hypothesis statement can be used to develop an intervention approach.
