Jillian Lecture on Behavior
How can AT assist with behavior?
It can help with clarification, organization, communication, access
curriculum and demonstrate knowledge.
What is an FBA? How do you determine the function of a behavior?
FBA is Functional Behavioral Assessment. To determine the
function of the behavior is to be aware of what the student is doing. In the
lecture, she stated the student was hungry so she bit her hand. As teachers we
have to determine another behavior for the student to communicate and allow the
teacher to know he/she is hungry.
What is frequency and duration of behavior? What are some low,
medium, and high tech options for each?
The frequency of behavior is the number of times an event occurs.
While duration of behavior is the time elapsed between the start and end of the
event occurring.
A low tech option for frequency would be beans and for duration
would be a clock. A medium tech option for frequency would be a clicker and for
duration would be a stopwatch. Lastly a high tech option for frequency would be
CountG app while for duration it would be smart phone applications such as ABA.
All these things play into the frequency and duration of the behavior for the teacher
to record.
What are some behavioral supports to assist with behavior in the
environment? Name one tool and how you would implement in the classroom.
Include some resources with links.
Some behavioral support to assist with behavior in the classroom
would be positive reinforcement, redirection, setting boundaries and giving choices.
A great tool to implement in the classroom would be visual cues.
Having them on the board in an area the child knows and feels safe is great for
waiting in line. They are able to have a visual cue of counting, sorting or
even reading something they like. Something as simple as having them set a
timer to wait in line so they know when the time is up and when it is time to go.
Also making a daily schedule and reviewing it together at the beginning of
class. If they get loss of mis- guided they can revert to the schedule to know
what is coming up, what they are supposed to be doing and when it time for the
next activity.
