UNDESIRED BEHAVIOUR IDENTIFICATION Tyrone’s undesired behaviour is throwing furniture’s or objects to the floor. A scowl will often appear on his face before he shows this behaviour. FREQUENCY Tyrone would throw furniture’s or objects to the floor to gain staff attention (3) three times a day. HYPOTHESIS STATEMENT Sometimes, when preferred staffs are preoccupied with other participants doing activities at the day program and attention is not directly given to Tyrone, Tyrone engages in aggressive behaviours which includes throwing furniture’s or objects to the floor. This is most likely to happen when Tyrone lacks one-one attention from staff at the day program.

Rationale Tyrone will learn how to gently touch the shoulders or arms of preferred or assigned staff to interact with him regularly when he lacks attention. This method will give staff a prompt as to when Tyrone desires attention. By staff being out of reach is a setting variable that increases the likelihood that the undesired behaviour will be shown. Ensuring that staffs are available would reinforce the desired behaviour by immediately responding to the appropriate attempt because it will benefit Tyrone with behavioural challenges such as throwing furniture’s or objects to the floor. Instructions Any member of staff assigned to Tyrone must ensure to attach a printed note to the notice board reminding all staff to ensure that throughout the day whenever Tyrone approaches them applying a gently touch to their shoulders or arms, Tyrone needs their immediate attention. The notice must be posted where important information is posted on the left-hand side as staffs enter the room. Tyrone should be offered the choice of having access to prefer items or activities so that he would be more engaged and better behaved to reduce his undesired …show more content…
If Tyrone responds by placing an available option on his schedule, the staff must pair verbal with visual; for example, If Tyrone places the Dora Cardboard game icon on his schedule then the staff must say, “You would like to play Dora Cardboard game) b. If Tyrone remains still for more than 20 s, then the Preferred staff (residential councillor) must verify Tyrone’s choice by saying, “It looks like you are not planning to have to play Dora Cardboard game today. Is that correct?” If Tyrone agrees, then the preferred staff must use a least-to-most assistive strategy to prompt Tyrone to move both Dora Cardboard game or do literacy work sheet icons to the “Not Today” section of his visual schedule. 3. If Tyrone places a Dora on his schedule for the day, then the DSW must point to the corresponding options while asking, “Would you like me, the Developmental Services Worker or the Primary councillor to help you play Dora today?” a. If Tyrone responds by placing an available option on his schedule, then the staff should verbalize Tyrone’s choice. For example, if Tyrone places the residential councillor (me) icon next to the Dora cardboard game icon on his schedule, then the staff must say, “You would like the me to help you with your bath
George disrupts the class by conversing with other and not raising his hand. This behavior is prominent form the beginning of the day to the end. He constantly disrupts the class by shouting out at inappropriate times. This lack of self-control causes a halt in the lesson. The teacher typically relies on the classroom aide to resolve the issue, but his behavior is only corrected for five minutes. If George doesn’t have a 1:1 approach, he is unable to complete any of his work and inevitably gets himself into
Tommy’s teacher provided the time and what happened. From fifteen behavior, accidents there were nine verbal and six physical these accidents occur between two minutes to eighteen minutes. These behaviors happen with six times in math, three in check out, one in social studies, two at lunch, one in spelling, one in a small group, and one individually. The ABC provides that the highest of Tommy’s behaviors occur when she is transitioning the class to a new activity or giving new directions. Some of the consequences the teacher provides to Tommy are giving Tommy a choice, redirection, discussion of behavior, personal space was given, verbal reprimand, change activity, remove from class, and time out. Sometimes Tommy stops his behavior and others it continues even of the
Children and adolescents often test the limits of appropriate conduct by crossing the boundaries set by caretakers. When a youth exhibits a particular problem behavior, it is important to consider not only if the behavior has previously occurred, but also if it is exhibited in multiple settings and with what frequency, duration, intensity, and provocation. For example, a 2-year-old who playfully nips a playmate is less off the mark of developmentally appropriate behavior than a 4-year-old who aggressively and frequently bites playmates to forcefully gain possession of desired toys.
“This one will live. This one will live,” I told myself persistently as nothing more than lifeless children were being given to me. With every death, my passion for children grew a bit greater until before I knew it, that passion grew into an obsession. After ten sorrow-filled, stillborn children, it occured to me that the passionate attitude I give to everything I care about influences my behaviors both positively and negatively. For instance, I am aware that other women view me as easy when it comes to romantic relationships. After awhile, I learned how to ignore them because they don’t know that it is my desire to love and care, not a lack of
She said that rather than see the disgruntled employees actually retaliating against their abusive boss, the mistreated workers could instead benefit from the harmless act of symbolic retaliation. The researchers asked the participants in the study to recall and visualize a workplace interaction that involved abuse from a supervisor. They asked some of the workers to retaliate by using a voodoo doll or to complete a task in which they had to fill in the blanks to complete
Creating ways to handle problems with guidance approach are very much like a journey to me. Teachers practice guidance when they help children to learn from their mistakes, rather than punish them for mistake they make, and it should not be considered as misbehaviour, but as mistaken behaviour. This reminds us that Child is just at the beginning of a lifelong learning process. At this stage we all make mistakes. Mistaken behaviour is made up of three different levels which in themselves explain each level in the learning process as they lack the experience and interaction to know the difference and therefore make errors in judgement in their actions. The three levels
When I think of abnormal behavior, the first thing that comes to mind is one of my aunt’s. She committed suicide when I very young, so early 1970’s. As I got older, inevitably stories of her would arise during holiday get togethers. She was married with three children and in her early thirties, residing in Florida, when she walked out and away from her husband and small children. For over a year, no one knew what happened to her, she made no effort to contact anyone. Eventually, the Salvation Army somewhere in Michigan called my grandmother and they sent her home on a bus. She never returned to her husband or children. The doctors diagnosed her as a paranoid schizophrenic. My mother told me that when she was on her medication she was fine, but once she felt “fine”, she would stop her medication. When the medication left her system, she became anxious and afraid. She once chased my grandmother, who was in her late sixties down the driveway with an ax, because she thought her mother was trying to kill her. After several inpatient stays in mental hospitals, she came back home again and she was doing good. She left my grandmother’s one night while everyone was sleeping, made it approximately fifteen miles away to a lake.

Robert’s non-compliance behavior appears to be exhibited sporadically, when he is give a directive to complete or participate in a less preferred activity. This behavior was observed in Roberts English classroom, when the teacher ask Robert to read Chapter 14 in his book. He slammed the book down and continually stating “I read that already”, Robert did not want to read, instead he wanted to continue attempting to engage in conversation with his peers, therefore he was not compliant with the teachers directive. During another incident, during his lunch period, it was picture day and the teacher asks all of the students to remain in line to wait to have their pictures taken. Robert did not want his picture taken, therefore, he got out of
The school board is no longer certain fiction and novels have a place in the curriculum. But in fact, fiction and novels should stay within the curriculum because they tackle and normalize subjects that we usually wouldn’t talk about in society. Such as mental illnesses like panic disorders and social anxiety. It also introduces us to new types of mental illnesses we are not familiar with such as panic disorders. And finally, it’s interesting to read conflicts and see it get tense.
It is rare to find one behavioral intervention that addresses the function of a problem behavior in each situation and setting. Positive behavioral support strategies should therefore include multicomponent intervention plans. Begin by developing a hypothesis regarding the undesirable behavior. The hypothesis statement is a summary of the evidence collected in the functional assessment.
Understanding why the student acted out can help prevent the student from being misunderstood, reduce dropouts, and guide the student to correct their behavior. If we try to understand why the student is acting up, we can prevent the child from being misunderstood. An article by David Bulley describes a situation like this. A student, Cindy, had thrown a lunch tray and several other items at two boys. Bulley
Just about everyone has done something that someone else disapproves of. In fact, almost all of us have done something we ourselves have reservations or second thoughts about. Perhaps we’ve stolen something, or told a lie, or gossiped about another person in an especially nasty way. Maybe on occasion we’ve gotten drunk, of high, or driven too fast, or recklessly. Have we ever worn clothes that someone else thought was out of style, offensive, or ugly? Have we belched at the dinner table, or did we ever break pick our nose in public? Maybe we failed to show up for an important class or read a crucial assignment, or permitted our eyes to wonder onto a neighbor’s answers during an exam. Do we like a television program that someone else finds stupid and boring? Didn’t we once date someone our parents and friends didn’t like? Maybe our religious beliefs and practices don’t agree with those of some other members of our society; it could be that they would regard us as too religious or not religious enough. For some people we may be too liberal, too conservative, or too much of a loser. Does someone else consider us too short or tall, too plain of exotic, to thin or heavy, too dark or to light skinned? The number of possible ways that what we believe, or do or are, could be judged negatively by others is infinite.
In handling his students’ inappropriate behavior, Mr. Swan should follow this approach. If the students continue to talk loudly, use tools inappropriately, and hit at each other, he should use a punisher. These behaviors could include the verbal or nonverbal communications for the purpose of stopping behaviors or even a detention. When the students start doing well, they should be reinforced and rewarded for doing good. Reinforcement improves student motivation and it will be effective in helping Mr. Swan handle these students’ inappropriate behaviors.
