BEHAVIOR INTERVENTIONS

Sometimes students who receive Special Education services also demonstrate behaviors which are challenging in the classroom or school setting.  Often, the behaviors stem from the disability itself, such as aGlobe with the word behavior communication, regulation or sensory challenge.  As educators, it is our job to understand the cause of these behaviors and provide accommodations and supports to address these needs while also teaching our students other more appropriate ways to get their needs met.  

Teaching these skills may be challenging at first, but for our students, gaining the skills to manage their behaviors in ways that are socially acceptable may be the most imortant thing they learn.  It will allow them much more independence and the ability to interact with people in all places more freely for the rest of their lives!

Students with challenging behaviors will have IEP goals to address the new skills being taught, as well as services and strategies to address those needs. Teachers and other educators are expected to address these skills with the same integrity and fidelity as when teaching core curriculum skills.
