BEHAVIORAL MANAGEMENT/BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT : 

BEHAVIORAL MANAGEMENT/BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT Aurora University Feb. 15, 2008 Dr. Lilia Bejec

Philosophy of Behavioral Management : 

Philosophy of Behavioral Management Problem behavior needs to be controlled or eliminated. Positive behavior are to be expected, regardless of the environment.

FOCUS : 

FOCUS Specifying the consequences of misbehavior and , to some extent,the consequences of acceptable behavior. Rarely attempts to understand the reasons a student misbehaved.

Consequences : 

Consequences Delivered to students in an effort to get them to stop misbehavior. Strongly aversive so that the student would avoid the misbehavior. Strongly positive so that the student behaved in order to receive the reward.

Philosophy of Behavioral Support : 

Philosophy of Behavioral Support Positive behavior needs to be taught—modeled, shaped, and cued in a conducive and supportive environment.

FOCUS : 

FOCUS Understanding why the behavior occurred. Teaching & eliciting an alternative behavior that meets the student’s needs in other, more acceptable ways. This includes teaching strategies and classroom restructuring as well as student self-management to support new skills.

Support : 

Support Understand the behavior Teach an alternative behavior that meets the student’s needs. Change the environmental conditions In an effort to help the student meet his/her needs. Identifying what is in , or missing in the environment or in the instruction that can be changes.

O’Neill & Colleagues BSP : 

O’Neill & Colleagues BSP Be built on functional assessment results Describe the behavior Make problem behaviors irrelevant Make problem behaviors ineffective Include a replacement behavior

Phases in the Functional Assessment Process : 

Phases in the Functional Assessment Process PHASE 1-Define the Challenging behavior. Describe in specific observable terms. PHASE 2-Collect Functional Assessment Data Informal and structured interviews, questionnaires, behavioral checklist ,as well as observations.

Designing a plan continued : 

Designing a plan continued PHASE 3- Summarize Observable data to identify predictable patterns. PHASE 4- Develop plausible hypotheses or explanations for the behavior.

Plan continued: : 

Plan continued: PHASE 5- Conduct a Functional Analysis Phase 6- Design an Intervention Plan PHASE &-Implement & Evaluate the Intervention
