Positive Approaches 

Providing positive praise of the behavior you want to see and focusing on reinforcement of appropriate behavior helps to set the tone for increasing the behavior we want to see and decreasing problem behavior. Avoid telling your student to stop a behavior repeatedly. Rather review appropriate behaviors and then praise those. This approach is effective at school and home.

Function of Behavior

It is important to understand WHY a student is engaging in problem behavior. 

We can then use that information to replace that behavior with a more socially appropriate behavior. 

Teaching is key to reduction of problem behavior.
