Function Junction:Behavior Matters

Mama Said There'd Be Days Like These

Susan Catlett and Cissy Carter Season 3 Episode 30

Susan shares about her day that started a little crazy and got crazier.  Having one of those days made her think about how important self-regulation is.  She related the importance of explicitly teaching self-regulation skills to students.  She talked about a student who yells, name calls, and hits furniture or the wall when upset.  The staff working with her have been doing a great job counting the behaviors.  She talked about how they worked through coming up with a plan to split out the behaviors to see patterns.  They also talked through ways to help her reduce the behaviors through learning self-regulation skills.  Have a listen and try the question.  Thank you for listening.
