Using Functional Behavior Assessments to Create Behavior Plans
Special Needs | K-12
We all know the impact of unwanted student behaviors: They not only disrupt learning, but also damage students’ abilities to relate and communicate with their teachers and peers. Sometimes, the most important question we can ask is not what a student is doing to hinder learning, but why that behavior is manifesting in the first place.
In this course, you’ll investigate how to use functional behavior assessments to get to the root of why students behave the way they do. You’ll investigate how cultural expectations and special needs diagnoses can impact behavior, and explore how to use tools such as an ABC chart and a behavior support plan to minimize triggers for unwanted behaviors. In addition, you’ll learn how to gain support from other educators and students’ families to help a behavior support plan succeed.
Using the tools and strategies from this course, you’ll have a simple, defined path for better understanding your students’ behaviors and creating a personalized plan to help them thrive.
