Severe challenging behaviors often require a behavior plan which act like written instructions for caretakers to follow in order to prevent, or respond to, challenging behaviors. Our clinicians use established practices to determine why a behavior happens, then to use ABA principles to teach more appropriate behaviors. Our clinicians will also take the time to teach parents, relatives, caretakers, teachers, and other therapists how to implement the plan they write. Progress is continually monitored to make sure the desired behaviors are taught and that the plan is having the desired effects. Behavior plans can be written to address aggressive behavior, self-injurious behavior, running away, potty training, tantrums, refusal, and most other challenging behaviors.
Certain behaviors can often get in the way of a child’s learning. It is an evidence-based method to improve children with (ASD) behaviors. It also helps identify barriers to learning and implement strategies to remove those barriers. With behavior planning, we know how to teach and reinforce positive behaviors.
The four functions of behavior are sensory stimulation, escape, access to attention and access to tangibles. BCBA Megan Graves explains the four functions with a description and example for each function.
