Accommodation: Build on strengths
Dysmaturity Act your age
Being a baby,
Lazy, not trying
Frustrated
Punish Anxiety, anger
Think younger Adjust expectations
Confabulation
Honesty
Lying, manipulative,
“At me”
Fear, angry sad
Punish, ground Anger, denial
Recognize brain dysfunction, alter communication
Memory problems
Remember
“Should” know!!
Angry frustrated Remove privileges
Anger, frustration
Accept need to reteach, based on learning strengths
Slow processing pace
Value speed – think fast
Not trying, withholding ,
on purpose
Angry, frustrated
Speed up, yell, embarrass
Shut down, fear, avoidance, withdrawal
SLOW DOWN!
Use fewer words
Difficulty generalizing, gets the piece, not the picture
Know and apply concepts in different settings
Breaking the rules,
Should understand concepts in all settings
Angry, frustrated
Consequence Confusion, anxiety, frustration
anger
Show rather than tell, reteach in different settings

Fit and behaviors
• Poor fit = challenging secondary behaviors
• Good fit = prevent or reduce challenging behaviors
• Build on strengths: Round peg, round hole

Review
1. FA/NB is a brain-based physical disability
2. Reframe behaviors: Neurobehavioral Screen -- primary, secondary and tertiary symptoms
3. Application: Observation. Fit and accommodations Functional neurobehavioral assessment
