The document also discusses using schedules to increase independence, reduce anxiety, and ensure predictability for students. Different types of schedules like object, tactile, picture, word, and mini are presented.
Functional behavioral assessments (FBAs) aim to understand the purpose or function of challenging student behaviors. An FBA involves observing patterns in a student's behavior to determine the triggers, behaviors, and consequences. Common functions of inappropriate behaviors include gaining attention, avoiding tasks, and communicating needs. An FBA should be conducted when a student displays chronic issues or after suspensions. The results are used to create behavioral intervention plans to reduce problematic behaviors and teach replacement behaviors.
This document discusses applied behavior analysis (ABA) including myths about it, its objectives to identify and control behavior, how it investigates behavior using antecedents, behaviors, and consequences, and how it is applied. It also discusses methods for encouraging behaviors like reinforcement and shaping, and coping with undesirable behaviors through techniques like negative reinforcement, response cost, and time out. Recent work on using backward chaining to help a child with transitions is also summarized.

A functional behavioral assessment involves identifying factors associated with problem behaviors through descriptive and observational assessments. This develops a hypothesis about the function or purpose of the behavior. A functional analysis then tests this hypothesis by systematically arranging antecedents and consequences to determine what maintains the behavior. It involves conditions to assess the effects of attention, escape from demands, alone, and a control condition. The results clarify the function and inform the development of a behavior intervention plan.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Gamblingactsconz
CBT uses problem-solving techniques and cognitive restructuring to change dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors. The therapist helps clients identify problems and set specific goals. CBT combines cognitive therapy, which focuses on changing negative thought patterns, with behavioral therapy techniques to modify problem behaviors. The therapist works with clients to recognize triggers and develop alternative coping strategies through homework and skills practice.
The prompt hierarchy is an evidence-based method for systematically teaching students independence through the use of varying levels of assistance or prompts from least to most restrictive. The levels include natural/environmental cues, positioning, gestures, objects, visuals, indirect verbal hints, direct verbal instructions, partial physical guidance, and full physical assistance. The goal is to begin at the level where a student can be successful and fade supports until they can complete tasks independently through natural cues in the environment.
This document provides an overview of a parent workshop on bullying. It defines bullying as intentional aggressive behavior that involves an imbalance of power. There are different types of bullying, including direct physical bullying as well as indirect bullying like social exclusion. Studies find that around 20% of students report being bullied.

It advises foster parents to listen, be consistent, use praise, set realistic expectations, and help children articulate goals rather than using physical punishment, threats, or humiliation. The document encourages discussion of strategies for responding when feeling pushed too far by a child's behavior.
Parent management training (PMT) involves educating and coaching parents to change problematic child behaviors using behavior modification techniques. PMT teaches parents positive reinforcement methods to improve behaviors like aggression and tantrums in preschool and school-aged children. PMT has been shown to reduce disruptive child behaviors and improve parental mental health. It was initially developed in the 1960s based on principles of operant conditioning to change parenting behaviors through positive reinforcement of appropriate child behaviors and limiting attention for inappropriate behaviors. Treatment typically involves parents learning these techniques over several weekly sessions focused on monitoring, reinforcing positive behaviors and using time-outs or removal of privileges for negative behaviors.
This document discusses crisis intervention in schools. It defines a crisis as a stressful event that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope. There are different types of crisis events that can occur, from natural disasters to violent deaths. The goal of crisis intervention is to help victims cope and return to normal functioning through short-term, directive counseling. Schools need crisis response plans and teams to provide psychological first aid and refer those severely impacted to mental health professionals. Effective crisis intervention involves making contact, exploring the problem, examining solutions, taking action, and follow-up. Special issues like responding to suicide are also addressed.

Kinesics refers to the study of body movements and gestures used for nonverbal communication. It includes factors like personal appearance, posture, eye contact, facial expressions, use of time (chronemics), and paralinguistics. Good posture conveys confidence while bad posture shows lack of interest or confidence. Eye contact regulates conversations and shows engagement or intimidation. Facial expressions effectively communicate emotions like happiness, sadness, fear, and anger through movements of the eyes, eyebrows, jaw, and mouth. Paralinguistics refers to nonverbal vocal cues like volume and pitch that add emphasis. Together, these nonverbal cues convey much about personalities, feelings, and the message being communicated.
Behavioral communication refers to how people express feelings, needs and thoughts through indirect behaviors rather than direct verbal communication. It recognizes that behaviors like facial expressions, body language, tone of voice and others can convey messages. Effective communication requires understanding both verbal and nonverbal elements since the intended message may differ from what is received. Factors like culture and individual differences also influence behavioral communication.
Individualized and developmentally appropriate guidance 2blantoncd
