STRATEGIES
100
This legislation provided a strong impetus for the use of positive behavior strategies in schools.
What is "IDEA '97" (or "IDEA 04")
100
Best practices for preparing the learning environment (includes organization of the classroom and establishing rules/routines)
What is good classroom management?
100
Essential to a good FBA, these 2 qualities are also present in a well-designed experiment.
What are reliability (consistent, replicable) and validity (explaining the behavior adequately; making sense)?
100
A time when all ideas are welcome and criticism is not permitted. (Step One of the BIP!)
What is brainstorming with the team?
100
They are temporary interventions to avoid incidents of challenging behavior, but they are not always a good match with the context (environment) or resources.
Why must the team regularly evaluate a short-term prevention strategy?
200
It serves a function such as obtaining attention or access to an activity; obtaining desired sensory input or stimulation; avoiding/escaping unwanted attention or difficult tasks or avoiding/escaping non-preferred activities or feelings.
What is the point of problem behavior?
200
To help the student replace a challenging behavior with an alternate behavior that is appropriate, given the same set of triggers.
What is the focus of the BIP?
200
At least two sources of information for an effective FBA.
What are interviews, direct observations, checklists, questionnaires, multiple informants?
200
Short-term strategies that may "buy time" for the team.
What are prevention strategies?
200
It must be NON-stigmatizing.
What is one general rule for a replacement behavior?
300
Reactive procedures intended to reduce challenging behaviors.
What is punishment?
300
Understand, Prevent, Replace
How can we summarize positive strategies?
300
This is the next step after functional assessment data has been collected and analyzed.
What is the hypothesis?
300
They require natural reinforcement to be effective- and elicit a reinforcing response from others without specific training.
What are effective replacement behaviors?
300
Only what a student is actually capable of doing.
What does an effective BIP require of a student?
400
Setting events (slow triggers) and antecedents (immediate triggers)
What are the two precursors to challenging behaviors?
400
Shared description that provides a basis for understanding a challenging behavior.
What is an operational definition of a challenging behavior?
400
When the hypothesis test doesn't support the hypothesis.
When should you discard your hypothesis and develop another one?
400
This permits the team to evaluate the ongoing effectiveness of the BIP.
What is a monitoring plan for the BIP?
400
The student's ability to do/exhibit the replacement behavior.
What is a student's "current functional competence?"
500
The vehicle for understanding how setting events, antecedents and consequences influence the challenging behavior(s).
What is the FBA?
500
This system is used for addressing challenging behaviors because so many obstacles make it difficult for an individual.
What is a team approach for implementing positive strategies?
500
Step One in an FBA.
What is the development of the student profile?
500
Proactive classroom management strategies and individualized supports
What early intervention strategies can often prevent challenging behaviors?
500
FOR EXAMPLE: 1. determine most freqeunt communication needs (eg:request) 2.assess whether the needed skill is in the student's repertoire (can student make a request?) 3. expose student to models (observe peers, staff, etc) 4. teach, coach, practice communication skill BEFORE requiring student to exhibit the skill
What are some steps that could be used to develop a strategy for addressing a student's inability to functionally communicate?
