Consultative Services, Problematic Behaviors Comments (0)
Consistency
Make sure that the message you are sending to your child is usually the same. EX- “No means no.”
Motivation
Will your child enjoy doing what you are asking of them? If not build in motivation. EX-Your child can do math but doesn’t really like to. Add in short 2 minute fun time breaks.
Expectations
Does your child know what is expected of them? Show them, tell them, and model what you want to happen. Communicate how long the task lasts, what they will be doing, and what can they get in return? EX-use visual schedules, token boards, and preferred items while modeling the behavior you want to see.
Skill Level
Check to see if your child has all the necessary pre skills to accomplish the goal. EX- Your child likes math but is having trouble completing problems. How fast can they say the numbers, add them, or count in a chain? Are the pre skills fluent or do they take a long time to accomplish?
Knowing this will help you achieve the outcome you are looking for.
