Behavior Management Strategies
Question | Answer |
---|---|
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. |
Response Generalization | Application of a learned behavior or skill to another setting. |
Positive Reinforcement | Student is motivated to use a desired behavior because of the reward to be obtained. |
Perseveration | When a behavior continues repeatedly beyond the typical endpoint and the student demonstrates difficulty switching tasks. |
Negative Reinforcement | Student is motivated to use a desired behavior in order to avoid a negative consequence. |
Modeling | Use of imitation to set in place the desired behaviors. |
Manifestation Determination | Team review of the relationship between a student's inappropriate behavior and the disability. |
Discrete Trial Training | Strategy in which the function or task is broken down into steps that are rewarded immediately on a trial by trial basis. |
Contingency Contract | Written agreement between a student and teacher that outlines the expected performance and the consequences or reinforcers used. |
Consequences | Stimulus that follows a behavior action used in behavior management/modification to increase or decrease the behavior. |
Behavior Rating Scale | An evaluation tool that lists specific observable behaviors to assess the severity, frequency, and type of exhibited behaviors. |
Behavior Intervention | Strategies or actions used to extinguish, change, or redirect an inappropriate behavior. |
Antecedent | Stimulus used in behavior management and modification that occurs prior to the behavior and establishes the reason for the behavior. |
Alternative School Placement | Public school option that may be utilized when a student can't function in traditional school due to uncontrolled behaviors or a disruption resulting in suspension or expulsion. |
Applied Behavior Analysis | 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. |
Acting Out Behavior | Inappropriate behavior considered more damaging and serious than other behaviors. |
