Function Junction:Behavior Matters
Mama Said There'd Be Days Like These
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.
