Obtain Attention Obtain Activities or Items
Escape from Attention or Activities
Escape or Obtain Physiological Stimulation
Sugai & Horner, 2001
Research Fact
Multi-component intervention plans or multiple layers of
support are in fact the best way to establish effective
comprehensive strategies for addressing challenging
behavior.
Carr, Levin, McConnachie, Carlson, Kemp, Smith, 1999
Research Fact
Research indicates that one way to effectively support
children with problem behavior is to build skills through effective
teaching
Carr et al., 2002; Horner, Albin, Sprague, & Todd, 2000
Research Fact
Efficacy data indicate that PBS intervention strategies were
effective for all problem behavior examined with as much as 80% reductions in
challenging behavior.
Carr et. al., 1999
Research Fact
PBS was more effective when a functional assessment was used to design behavioral
interventions and strategies
Carr et. al., 1999
Positive Behavior Support
Every problem behavior happens for a reason. Figure out why!!
Stop behaviors before they start, prevention rather than reaction.
Keep a big back of tricks. Challenging behavior can get
better.
Functions of Behavior
Obtain Attention Desire for activities or items Escape from attention or
activities Escape or obtain physiological
stimulation
Functions Quiz
Examples Can you identify the function in
each scenario? Can you share an example of
when your child engaged in problem behavior for one of these reasons?
Coercive Interaction Patterns
How do coercive interaction patterns impact parents and their children?
Avoiding Escalation
Do not initiate contact with your child when he or she appears to be agitated
Do not allow yourself to become “engaged” through a series of questions and answers initiated by the child
Do not attempt to force the child to participate when agitated
Walker, Ramsey & Gresham, 2003
Tickets to Success

is, the reason for the behavior, or the “function” of the problem behavior)
Choose some positive intervention strategies using the questions on the back as a guide
