Building Positive Relationships

Get to know your student as an individual (hobbies, clubs etc.)

Access their voice, post box, survey, consult them etc.

Listen to them; Make them feel good about themselves

Greet them/Notice them

Keep a happy news log/I can cans

Things I was good at today

Show Students you trust them (responsibilities)

Share something about yourself

Allow students to make choices

Make them feel good about themselves

Encourage friendships/helping each other (buddy system)

Check in/check out (designated person)

PACE (D Hughes and M Bomber)

Connect before you correct (see more than the behaviour)

Communication and Language

Is it the challenge to communicate?

Is it a lack of vocabulary?

• Mental health difficulties in students with SEN may go unrecognised and untreated for a long time

• ‘Mental health is one of the most significant barriers to learning’

• Mental health difficulties may be ‘masked’ by the presence of a specific SEN

Data: Graphing Behaviour

R’ engages in frequent challenging behaviour.

R’s teacher defined the behaviour as challenging behaviour; which includes any instance of the following ( leaving seat, attempting to hit a peer, swearing and refusing to following teacher direction)

R’s teacher used her class timetable as a counting tool and recorded the instances of behaviour each day for 3 days.

Day 1= 22, Day 2=25 Day 3= 23.

Let’s put these numbers on the graph.

Consequence/Functions

• Attention

• Avoidance / Escape

• I get the “thing”/Object

Intervention

We have collected 3 Days of baseline data.

R’s teacher conducted an F.A and did some ABC recording, she identified two functions for R’s behaviour.

Sometimes he behaved this way to get attention.

Sometimes he behaved this way to escape from doing work he found hard to do.

She implemented a FERB for I need help and a FERB for recruiting her attention positively.

Intervention Data

Day 1 = 5

Day 2=8

Day 3=7

Day 4=4

Let’s see if there is a visible difference.

R’s teacher also identified that R was also

seeking attention from his peers, she

developed a Social Skills programme with

his resource teacher. She will keep taking

data to see if this has an effect.

• Functional Equivalent Replacement

Behaviour/s

Pathways Matrix – F.E.R.B.s

This is a functional way of accessing the

same result/consequence they are accessing

when they use challenging behaviour.

We teach a more appropriate alternative

behaviour (using a visual to request) which

matches the function of the challenging

behaviour (avoidance) whilst accessing the

same consequence (I need a break)

What are F.E.R.B.s?

F.E.R.B.s must be taught!

Strategies & Interventions

Strategies

Antecedent based strategies

• Antecedent strategies precede the challenging/problem behaviour

• Antecedent strategies consist of a collection of practices in which environmental /personal /sensory modifications are used to change the conditions in the setting so as to avoid the occurrence of a challenging/problem behaviour

• Antecedent strategies can be related to the time of the day, the learning environment, the people who are present, or the activities that are occurring within the setting

Consequent based strategies

• Consequence based strategies

are presented and explained to

pupils and they are used to

increase reinforcement for

desirable behaviour

• Consequence based strategies

redirect the pupil towards

alternative responses and desired

behaviour

• Consequence based strategies

involve the concept of delayed

gratification

ANTECEDENT INTERVENTIONS

ACTIVE LISTENING / VALIDATING EMOTION

Active listening is a specific strategy designed to

allow the pupil to have their point of view

expressed and listened to in a non-confrontational

manner.

Lots of Access to Positive Attention

25/11/2019

35

Antecedent Interventions

This is a simple approach, which involves making basic changes around:

the length of a task

the content of a task

verbal cues / instructional prompts

working individually or in groups or pairs

level of support from teacher / SNA

opportunity to access differentiated work (CAT GLD)

• http://cat.sess.ie/tool

CURRICULUM MODIFICATION /

DIFFERENTIATION / TEAM TEACHING

Antecedent Interventions

ENABLING PREDICTABILITY THROUGH

THE USE OF CUES

Enabling predictability through the use of cues helps pupils

to feel that they are in a predictable environment and enable

them to cope with what may be coming next.

This strategy also helps pupils to cope with minor transitions

during the day in their own classroom.

These should ideally be fairly consistent and predictable.

Antecedent Interventions

INCREASED CHOICE

This can reduce the pupils experience of being overwhelmed by a difficult task, support them in regulating themselves, give them a sense that they can have an impact on their environment and help them to feel supported by staff.

REDIRECTION

Redirection involves shifting the focus of a

pupils attention from a negative interaction

to a more positive interaction.

Antecedent Interventions

Antecedent Interventions

STIMULUS CHANGE

Stimulus change involves interrupting the

sequence of behaviour/s. Stimulus change

involves changing the environment.

ANTECEDENT INTERVENTIONS

TEACHING THE USE OF TIMERS TO

MEASURE TIME

This is an effective antecedent intervention, which

can be effective when working with pupils who

have some difficulty with waiting, working

independently or turn-taking. Pupils may feel less

agitated if this strategy is used consistently and

predictably

Antecedent Interventions

ANXIETY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

I.E. - SQUARE BREATHING

The purpose of this type of exercise is to slow the respiratory system, slow the heartbeat / heart rate, reduce or prevent verbal output, remove symptoms of fright/flight response, calm the mind and bring the body & mind back to a state of homeostasis

Consequent Interventions

POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT

Positive reinforcement happens when we try to increase desired behaviour. The consequence of acknowledging desirable behavior result in bringing the pupils awareness to this desirable behavior, the effect that this behavior has on the pupil and may increase the frequency of this desirable behavior.

Consequent Interventions

TOKEN ECONOMY

Using a token economy as a consequent based strategy requires the practitioner to distribute tokens towards earning a specific reward for performing desired behavior.

These rewards can be anything from stars, tickets, ticks or minutes of time denoted on a board. Tokens / visual representation of some sort should be used to earn the reward.

Why teach a FERB

The aim of teaching a FERB is that the student will use a new appropriate functionally equivalent behaviour to access the current maintaining consequence.

• Attention

• Escape/Avoid/Relief

• Sensory Feedback

• The Thing

Positive Reinforcement

However, it is very likely that the student will require extra reinforcement for engaging in the new /FERB behaviour.

That means applying regular positive consequences for using the new behaviour.

This is called positive reinforcement

What is Positive Reinforcement

The process of increasing the future rate of behaviour, also called applying a positive consequence.

A positive reinforcer is something that is presented immediately after the behaviour (the consequence), that increases the future rate or probability that the behaviour will occur again in the future. (p. 213 Alberto and Troutman)

We can only call it positive reinforcement if there is an effect on the behaviour.

The Schedule of Reinforcement

How to Apply Positive Reinforcement

You could start with a FIRST/THEN system

And move on to a Token Economy.

A Token Economy is a great way to fade

The schedule of reinforcement.

You could use a behaviour contract. –If appropriate

Important Considerations

We all like different things. It is only a reinforcer if it has an effect on the behaviour.

Is it clear what is expected of me. Was it taught. Is it visually represented.

Make sure I succeed first time round and lots of times thereafter.

Behaviour Contracts

Appropriate for older children.

The same rules apply

As for token economy/

Reinforcement systems.

Decisions based on Levels of Least Intrusion

Level 4

Level 3-Removal of desirable things or events. Removal of

access to nice things.

Level 2

Extinction .

Level 1- Use of Targeted Reinforcement strategies

Extinction with DR’s

Aversive Consequences

Response Cost/Time-Out

Planned Ignoring.

DRA/I/L/O, Token economies, reinforcement of new skills behaviours

Rich reinforcing and positive teaching environment/ Structured activities, high visual support, degree of

choice available, regular breaks and sensory activities, activities match needs and are of high

interest, calm/low arousal settings

Managing a Serious Incident Appear calm - be aware of your own feelings and actions

Avoid contributing to the incident with behaviour/words

Work for an effective outcome rather than winner/loser

Acknowledge other person’s feeling/emotion

Think safety – of all people in the room

May need to seek outside help – calmly and planned

Think on your feet – be prepared to change

Maintain control of your own communication style and

body language

Have a plan for helping you to think and act

Expect a positive outcome but not all incidents end

successfully (Hewett, 1998)

The Plan

1. Has it happened before?

2. Preventative/Management Plan

3. Exit Plan

4. Communication

Following an incident…

Common practice… wellbeing
