It then goes on to state that while in this classroom, her teacher instituted a variety of behavioral management plans to aid Kimika in controlling her violent outbursts and to provide motivation for her to complete required tasks. The case study stated that as Kimika grew older, her “violent outbursts and apathetic work behavior increased”. She then spent some time in a special classroom for older students with “trainable mental retardation”. She had many struggles within this classroom and ultimately, the special education supervisor moved her from this special education classroom to a “more restrictive” setting. For the purpose of this summary, I will be using the term intellectual disability as this case study isn’t in line with current special education terms.…

An immediate intervention that could be used to mitigate Joey’s disruptive behavior is to establish a reward system. Joey’s disruptive behavior is motivated by a need for adult attention that manifests in the form of talking out of turn, loudly and off topic. The antecedents include: interrupting when the teacher gives attention to his classmates, talking louder if he feels he is being ignored, and off topic outbursts when he is disengaged or bored. Since this behavior persists all throughout the day, a reward system that focuses on reducing the frequency of his behavior would be most successful. The potential to spend one-on-one time with the teacher would be a reward that would eliminate the antecedents of this behavior, facilitate his need for adult attention, and have intrinsic value to Joey so that he is motivated to self-monitor his behavior.…
Using hits misses, hit rate, false positives and false negatives brings us to a conclusion that the physical aggressive scale can be a difficult representation for a behavioral analyst. The results from the assessment tool could falsely indicate results making it difficult to make predictions about the type of intervention plan that would work best for the child. When working in…
The book by Rachel Janney and Martha Snell titled, Behavioral Support, was a great read for any teacher, administrator, or other school staff member. Behavioral Support provided many suggestions for students who need more positive behavioral support in school to help them be successful. The text gave me more insight on how behavior is learned and can be changed. The text posed the following question, “Why do people act in ways that are difficult to understand, disturbing to others, and even destructive to self, others, and property?”(Janney, Snell, 5). This question really made me reflect on my own experiences as a teacher in working with students who have been distracted and/or hard to understand.…

In today’s educational field we tend to lose and forget about the children with behavioral challenges. Many educators believe that they are disrespectful, out of control and beyond any type of help, (they just want attention). In reality, this is not true, there are ways for us as teachers, administrators, and parents to help these children and learn that sometimes they do not have these behavioral challenges because they want to but because they do not have the skills to deal with everyday challenges and adjustments. These children just see the black and white and nothing in between. In Dr. Ross Green’s book, he explains a different type of framework that can be used to help these students as well as teachers, administrations and parents on…
Elements of deviant and abnormal behavior associated with white-collar crime Deviant behavior is defined as any human activity that violates social norms. Social norms are the basic framework that help to keep our society organized and functioning. People that don’t or can’t abide by those norms are present in every aspect of humanity. Normally people will identify these outsiders and keep their distance. Mostly these individuals end up on the fringes of our civilized world, though there are certainly exceptions to this rule.…
1. From personal observation and experience signs usually do not convince the wicked to change because the wicked are prideful and have hard hearts. My definition of a hard heart is someone who refuses to follow and to listen to the counsel and teachings of the Lord. Someone with a hard heart rationalizes their wicked behavior and views signs as coincidences instead of signs from God to change their behavior. For example, when I was younger one of my good friends behavior (who was a member at that time) went contrary to the teachings of the church.…
As a behavior analyst, one must be able to identify problematic behavior and develop positive replacement. This allows the discovery of how to maintain a specified behavior and discover more appropriate replacement behaviors by creating a plan to teach them. Behavior analysts to not make judgments about behavior, instead, they seek to understand behavior and suggest ways to adjust/modify behaviors to increase personal happiness and quality of life (“Elite Behavior Analysis” 2012). This career can be used to increase or decrease a behavior. As a discipline, they provide…
In early childhood behavior differs because each child has their own personality, or their own health problem. The teacher has the responsibility to observe closely the child because every situation about of behavior has a why? My goal in my essay is to explain what kind of behave is mistaken behavior and misbehavior and why is important the teacher know about ADP and how heir guide can help the young…
Support Resource Interview Students with behavioral issues in school may not have access to the support that they need because the schools they are do not have the funding necessary to work with these students. These students have a higher chance of suspension, which causes a loss of information due to days of missed instruction (Stagman & Cooper, 2010). Services are available to combat the issues, but almost eighty percent of students with issues do not receive any services for their behavioral issues (Stagman & Cooper, 2010). Many times, mental health services are needed for these students. When interviewing two teachers from Sprout U School of the Arts about their support system for students, there were similar and dissimilar answers.…
Final SLO reflections SLO 1 Development I have learned the meaning of challenging behavior, and it is different reactions and actions a person to express and communicate their needs, and wants. Challenging behaviors can be verbal and physical. SLO 2 Research Based on course readings and discussion, I have learned a new assessment strategy, the BRAULT Behaviors Checklist. Now, I am using this strategy to analyze, reflect, understand, learn different types of behaviors, try something new to prevent the behaviors.…
The reason that I chose this study is because it focused on elementary students and a strategy that the participants used to decrease misbehavior in their classroom. Although the study describes the students as ‘at-risk’, those students may be in any classroom to a varying…
