- parents or tutors make follow up lessons with
the child individually
- learners receive additional help or specialized
services, e.g. occupational therapy, speech
therapy, behavior management

27. Managing Behaviors of Children with
Special Learning Needs
27
1. Some children with special needs may not have skills to communicate
their feelings with parents/family members. Thus, they exhibit
negative behaviors.
2. Kids learn through consistency and routine.
3. Parents and family members should model and encourage positive
behaviors often such as sharing and turn taking.
4. Ignore negative behavior. Reward positive behavior.
