Behavior Recording

For younger grades, I think the Premack Principle would work well. This principle is also known as “Grandma’s Rule”. An example would be, “If you do the rest of your homework you can play video games.” You must use the more likely activity to reinforce the less likely activity, so that

Techniques for behaviorism is to encourage good behavior and discourage inappropriate behavior. Practical applications for achieving this are contracts, consequences, and reinforcement. Contracts are effective in helping children to develop new behaviors when needed. Teachers and parents need to work together on behavior contracts.

The behaviors that are followed by my positive reinforcement are likely to be strengthened and repeated. When a child is expressing unfitting behaviors I use the redirection method. Once an issue arises, it is sometimes beneficial to avoid a struggle with the child by directing their attention elsewhere. I listen to the child to hear his or her point of view. Then I give children acceptable alternatives rather than telling them what they cannot choose. I also use reminders to guide the toddlers. They include walking feet when in the hallways and the classroom, inside voices, nice touches, and listening

Applied Behavior Analysis is the study of the student’s behaviors and making behavior modifications based on intensive interventions put in place to change the behavior. ABA is used primarily with students who have autism. Parents are looking to eliminate or decrease as many of the autistic symptoms as possible. ABA has statistically proven that any child who receives early ABA interventions (prior to age 4) has a fifty percent chance of becoming unidentifiable in comparison to their peers. There have many studies done on groups of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD) and we are going to look at some of those groups to make comparisons to several other practices for higher learning, communication,

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is one of the most misunderstood methods of reinforcement. ABA also is referred to as ‘behavior modification’, which is the main contributor of the negative connotation with this method. ABA is the application of behavioral learning principles to change behavior (Woolfolk 256). Applied Behavior Analysis can be very successful in the classroom if done correctly. However, to begin this, one must study a student to decide what reinforcers will best work to modify the behavior.

Children look to adults, parents, and teachers for approval in order to confirm that the behaviors they are exhibiting are ones that are desired (Lawhon & Lawhon, 2000). By acknowledging the child’s behavior as appropriate we teach the child which behaviors are preferred over others (Bukatko & Daehler, 2001).

Keep in mind that your end goal is for the child to be intrinsically motivated so they have ownership of the behavior.

Anything that does not work as well would be changed or developed to improve the lesson/activity ensuring that the Childs needs are always catered for.

C) Use positive reinforcement and praise when individual responds well and behaviour improves, hopefully enabling young person to develop and recognise themselves that the inappropriate behaviour is not rewarded or acceptable, hopefully making the occurrence of inappropriate behaviour less often.

Explain why each of the following Educator strategies and/or interactions would be effective in helping the child develop responsible and appropriate behaviour?

|assignments in class that are required. This behavior also causes other students to get off-task which makes it harder for classroom management. |

A behavioral therapist would seek to build a rapport with LaTonya and her son with the intention of replacing the child’s maladaptive behavior with behavior that is more socially acceptable. After the initial background and fact-finding ventures have taken place, the therapist would look to create a proposal that will hopefully alter the child’s behavior for the better. A proposal might include techniques such as, proper positive reinforcement, social skills training, and activities to promote focus with and in

may react to other children and also their future experiences. Activities within the setting need to be

The goal of this program is to 1. Change a student’s behavior, 2. Change the behavior of the teacher, 3. Or a combinations of both. The behavior modification approaches are directed toward helping a teacher manage the behaviors in the children in the classroom.

Discussion with the child’s mother gave me insight into his favorite activity at home, which was incorporated into his social story. Additional discussions with the extended care staff were essential to support the methods designed replace unwanted behavior with positive behavior. The afternoon staff used visual prompts to help the child recognize when he was exhibiting unwanted behavior. This extended collaboration ensured he expected to exhibit this behavior throughout his day.
