Meeting the Challenge of Challenging Behaviors
It
once was believed that challenging behaviors were best addressed via
consequence-based strategies; punishment strategies (behavioral procedures
that reduced the likelihood of recurrence of the preceding behavior, time
out being just one) were most often used to the exclusion of antecedent,
or more dignified communication-based interventions.
Positive behavioral supports will be discussed within a framework
of conducting functional assessments and designing strategies to teach
replacement behaviors.
