Activity
Think about one of the students that you have been observing. Is he/she engaging in any type of maladaptive or aberrant behavior? Is he/she crying when a toy is taken away? Have you seen him/her spin in circles at random times of the day? Spend some time thinking about any of the behaviors that you have observed and based on the article and powerpoint above, what function do you think the behavior is fulfilling? What are some strategies that may help the child? Share your thoughts here.
