Behavior Procedures
-
Including, but not limited to repeated, minor behaviors that disrupt the students’ learning, the learning of others
I’ll start with nonverbal signals, redirections, and proximit control
If possible, I will use extinction to “ignore” the behavior to deprive the attention seeking behaviors.
I’ll move on to direct awareness of the behavior and directly, but discreetly, ask the student to stop
If behavior remains excessive, I will apply Differential Reinforcement of Lower Rates (DRL) to remind the student they will earn positive reinforcement for staying at or below a set number of instances following a functional behavior assessment
I will reinforce an acceptable, alternative behavior that makes the behavior physically impossible to do at the same time as the problem behavior (DRI), or,
Reinforce more appropriate behavior that serves the same purpose as the problem behavior
-
Including, but not limited to behaviors that are dangerous, highly disruptive, or chronic or unresponsive to other inveterventions, to the student or others
Perform a functional behavior assessment
Have a conference with the family
Submit a behavior referral with parent’s signature
Have a meeting with the PBIS team (Multi-Disciplinary Team) with the family if they are available
Implement recommended strategies for a minimum of 2 weeks and document successes and pitfalls
