Behavior Management Strategies
Question | Answer |
---|---|
acting out behavior | Inappropriate behavior (aggressive or disruptive) considered more damaging and serious than other behaviors. |
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) | Method of behavior scrutiny to determine how and why a student responds to certain events, situations, or the environment and allows for a training component of rewards and reinforcements to help the student learn the target behavior. |
alternative school placement | Public school option that may be utilized when a student cannot function in the traditional public school system due to uncontrolled behaviors or due ot a disruption that caused a suspension or expulsion. |
antecedent | Stimulus used in behavior management and behavior modification that occurs prior to the behavior and establishes the reason for the behavior. |
behavior intervention | Strategies or actions used to extinguish, change, or redirect an inappropriate behavior; three types are positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, and aversive intervention. |
behavior rating scales | An evaluation tool that lists specific observable behaviors to assess the severity, frequency, and type of exhibited behaviors completed by staff, parents, or student. |
consequences | Stimulus that follows a behavior action used in behavior management or behavior modification to increase or decrease the behavior. |
contingency contract | Written agreement between the student and the teacher that outlines the expected performance and the consequences or reinforcers used. |
discrete trial training | Strategy in which the function or task is broken down into steps that are rewarded immediately in a trial-by-trial basis. |
manifestation determination | Team review of the relationship between a student's inappropriate behavior and the disability, required under IDEIA when a student violates a code of conduct. |
modeling | Use of imitation to set in place the desired behaviors. |
negative reinforcement | Used in behavior modification in which the student is motivated to use a desired behavior in order to avoid a negative consequence. |
perseveration | When a behavior continues repeatedly beyond the typical endpoint and the student demonstrates difficulty switching tasks. |
positive reinforcement | Used in behavior modification in which the student is motivated to use a desired behavior because of the reward to be obtained. |
response generalization | Application of a learned behavior or skill to another setting. |
target behavior | The behavior selected for intervention, most often to be extinguished or changed, although it may be a positive behavior that should be used in other school situations. |
