STEP 4: Treatment and Intervention Flashcards
Most function based interventions are based on:
a) provide teacher attention
b) self-monitoring
c) teach social skills
d) reduce task duration and chunking
e) breaks and work with adults/peers
f) spread out instruction between preferred activities
What to create and include
- create Behaviour Intervention Plan (BIP)
- note problem behaviour and replacement behaviour
- note potential services
- create intervention objects long term and short term
- use variety of strategies
Intervention Objectives
-long term and short term
-include: specify behaviour
be specific
specify conditions
trails or within time
Evidence Based Strategies
1) Maximize structure and predictability
2) Post, Teach, Monitor, and Reinforce Expectations
3) Actively engage students in observable ways
4) Use continuum of strategies to acknowledge appropriate behaviour
5) Strategies to respond to inappropriate behaviour
Maximize Structure and predictability
- high structure
- physical environment
- classroom signal
- arrival, dismissal, re-entry routines
- post schedule
- transition routines
- plan for belongings
Post, Teach, Monitor and Reinforce Expectations
- active supervision
- post, teach, monitor, and give feedback about expectations
Actively engage students in observable ways
- increase rate of opportunity to respond
- response cards
- direct instruction
- computer assisted instruction
- classwide peer tutoring
- guided notes
Use continuum of strategies to acknowledge appropriate behaviour
- specific and/or contingent praise
- class-wide or group contingencies
- behavioural contract
- token economy
Strategies to respond to inappropriate behaviour
- error corrections
- performance feedback
- differential reinforcement
- planned ignoring
- response cost
- time-out from reinforcement
Other strategies
- create classroom community
- build relationships
Strategies for Addressing Disruptive Behaviour
- rules matrix
- pre-correction
- prompts and cues
- active supervision
- differentiated instruction
- use content embedded requests
- sound field amplification (speakers around room)
- high probability requests (3-5 requests that are easy then ask the difficult one)
- praise and ignore
- reprimands
- public posting
- token economy
- be consistent
- contingency contract
- home based contract
- self monitoring (form)
- self evaluation (graph)
- good behaviour game (teams)
Addressing Aggressive behaviours
- verbal de-escalation (pick battles, listen, in private)
- check-in/check-out
- token economy
- social skills training
- peer harassment programs
- self-reflection
- anger management training
- crisis plan for serious behaviours
- avoid physical interventions
Self-Stimulatory Interventions
- enrich environment
- reinforce alternative behaviours
- non-contingent reinforcement
- stimulus variation based on sensory preference
- multiple sensory reinforcers
Self-Injurious Behaviour Interventions
- environmental changes
- environmental safety
- verbal interruption to redirect
- physical interruption to redirect
