About this title

Synopsis:

For courses in Applied Behavior Analysis, Managing Behavior or Behavior Management.

Written for special and general educators, consultants, therapists, administrators, and families who work with students and children with behavior concerns, this comprehensive, practical treatment of the topic presents a functional assessment model based on a naturalistic and team-based approach in averting and resolving inappropriate behavior in school settings. Its strong use of vignettes and open-ended case studies promotes problem solving among readers as they identify the function of behavior, choose intervention options, and pinpoint typical functional assessment practices.  The text address challenging behavior at all grade levels (preschool through high school), in the general education and self-contained classroom settings, and within special and general education student populations.  Taking a comprehensive and positive approach to managing behavior, this practical book provides useful applications to assist education professionals and families in selecting detailed interventions to address challenging behavior. Through these positive interventions, appropriate behavior is supported, replacing challenging behavior.
