Functions of Behavior

Unmet Needs and Lagging Skills

26

Bendtro Brokenleg and Van Bockern; Reclaiming Youth At-Risk, (1990)

To be effective educators, we must be able to look beyond the misbehavior

and beyond our frustration to discover

the purpose of the behavior.


Challenging Behavior serves one of two primary functions:

Lagging Skills

• Challenging Bx occur when the demands of the environment exceed a kid’s capacity to respond adaptively

Students engage in learning when it is meaningful

—but meaningful means when the activity satisfies a deep-rooted human

emotional need (W. Glasser 1998).

Keys to Limit Setting

• SIMPLE AND CLEAR

• ENFORCEABLE


46

Enforceable Statements

Tell kids what WE will do or allow…rather than trying to tell THEM what to do.


47

Enforceable Statements• “Don’t talk to me in that tone of voice!”• “I’ll listen as soon as your voice is as calm as

mine.”• “I’m not going to line you up until everyone is

silent.”• “I’ll be lining up students up as soon as it

quiets down.”

Communication Data

WordsToneNon-Verbal

• facial expression pleasant• tone of voice upbeat, positive• body turned toward or facing

student• specific praise (“I really appreciate

how focused you are right now,” • “I can see that you are very

determined to ignore those kids that are talking,” etc.)

51

When your student is

engaged in appropriate and

desired behaviors, staff’s light switch

is “on”


52

• Please note, this is NOT the same as ignoring your student.

• redirect to task by pointing (limited or NO verbals)

• no eye contact• body turned slightly away• facial expression & tone

neutral, conveying boredom

When your student is engaged in

behaviors that are inappropriate and

less desired, refrain from attending to those behaviors;

staff’s light switch is “off” .


53

Being Neutral Hard

Potential Problems

•Extinction Burst! - Inappropriate behaviors increase temporarily

•Other “undesirable” behaviors may crop up

•Takes time to work.


54

30 Second Interventions

• Monitor Position•Redirecting •Brief•Use the power of a question•Assume compliance

55

•Walk away after making a request--

•Make no more than two requests

•Keep neutral, non- emotional, calm


56

•Request that they “start” a task

•Positive and descriptive

•Avoid coercion and surrendering

•Reinforce compliance
