1. What are some of the strategies used to teach a new self-management plan?
example:
  • Practicing the strategy with the student in a simulated environment,
  • Providing an opportunity for the student to role-play with teachers or peers,
  • Demonstrating how to use the self-management plan by modeling, and
  • Providing examples of the behaviors to be monitored and giving the student an opportunity to practice identifying those behaviors.
2. What does it mean when someone talks about replacing a problem behavior in positive behavioral support?
example:
Replacing problem behavior refers to intervention approaches that teach students new alternative skills meant to achieve the same desired outcome as the problem behavior. Alternative skills that have been used to replace problem behavior include teaching students to communicate, providing students with skills promoting independence, and a variety of other important social skills. In order to compete effectively, these new alternative skills should be more efficient than the problem behavior one seeks to replace.
3. How can building a positive relationship with a student benefit the implementation of a communication or self-management strategy?
example:
Building a positive relationship with the student is a proactive strategy that in and of itself can lead to decreases in problem behavior. Spending time with your students, getting to know their favorite topics of conversation, food, games, and activities will enhance rapport and facilitate the implementation of strategies that replace problem behavior. Building rapport can increase the likelihood that a student will associate your presence with the opportunity to communicate about items, and activities he finds reinforcing. In addition, building a positive relationship will make it easier to collaborate with the student when developing a self-management plan.
