Written as a sample behavior strategy, this resource provides a case-study-style context to assist an Autistic child with transition issues. The primary behavior is laying in the hallway during transitions. The behavior strategy is positive reinforcement through a token economy system. Practical and well supported, this support plan could be a life saver.
Create a supportive environment. Get your students to work together cooperatively by making and keeping goals. The goal of this lesson is to build a classroom community through goal-setting, decision-making, and positive reinforcement.
Here are three assignments relating to decision-making and impulse control. Children with ADHD or behavioral issues discuss the need for making good decisions and for controlling their impulses. They make a timeline of ten decisions and their consequences from their own lives. Then complete a Personal Impulse Control Plan, and write a reflection piece that describes and explains the three things that they feel are the most important to self-control.
At time,s special needs or Autistic children have a difficult time disengaging from a lesson to line up at the door. This brief strategy overview employs mini-porcupine balls and a pocket. It was developed to help pupils transition to line-up time using positive reinforcement.
The concept of token economy isn't new. Here is one of the oldest behavior management tools in the teacher box, and its all ready to go! It includes strip boxes, paper coins, and instructions on how to use them. I have used this type of economy with ADHD, behaviorally challenged, Autistic, and special education students of various functioning levels. Super useful!
I have filled out quite a few of these in my day! This ABC (antecedent, behavior, consequence) sheet is intended to collect comprehensible data to help determine the function of a particular behavior. This is a vital tool for assessing and addressing potential behavior management techniques. You'll probably be printing out a lot of these.
Explore human behavior by completing class activities. The class reads and defines comprehensive terms such as "delayed gratification" and "impulse control." They participate in a candy experiment in which students who wait to eat a piece of candy receive more at the end of the lesson. This would be a perfect lesson for students with self-control issues.
While this instructional activity focuses on appropriate behavior management techniques used in the home, it could apply to the classroom as well. Included are several PowerPoint presentations, Notes, and Stories, on positive behavior management techniques and discipline.
Students read and discuss Native American legends. They examine how the Native American name came about.
Students practice the skill of putting and taking off a seatbelt. This sample lesson seeks to capitalize on motor imitation skills to perform the task of putting the belt on and taking it off when appropriate.
