Proactive and Reactive Strategies for Challenging Behaviors


Listen Later

Challenging behaviors don't just happen out of nowhere. They have patterns, triggers, and underlying causes. The key to success is all about preventing them in the first place instead of reacting to the behaviors when they occur. Here, we discuss how to use both proactive and reactive strategies to effectively reduce challenging behaviors with our learners.

When working on challenging behaviors, setting yourself up for success makes all the difference. Proactive strategies are designed to prevent behaviors from occurring and we discuss how to create an environment where they’re less likely to happen. We also share tips on how to teach replacement skills and make environmental accommodations.

While we want to aim for a proactive approach, we can’t always prevent challenging behaviors. Sometimes, we need to use reactive strategies, and we discuss when and how to intervene. We also cover how to block and diffuse unsafe behaviors and how to analyze data to determine how well your strategies are working.

What’s Inside:

  • How to use proactive and reactive strategies for challenging behaviors
  • The importance of building trust with our learners
  • How to block and diffuse unsafe behaviors
