ISBN: 9781890627768.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce youve determined the purpose of a childs or students seemingly senseless behavior by doing a functional behavior assessment (FBA), the next step is to work on changing or modifying the behavior. Stop That Seemingly Senseless Behavior! follows up on Dr. Glasbergs previous book, Functional Behavior Assessment for People with Autism, with a guide to developing an effective behavior intervention plan to stop undesirable behaviors such as hitting, screaming, or repetitive questioning.\nStop That Seemingly Senseless Behavior! outlines an educational approach for parents, teachers, adult service providers, and aides that not only quickly reduces the problem behavior but also teaches the individual with autism new skills to get his needs met. It covers:\nReview of what an FBA is\nHow behavior is learned and unlearned\nPreventing challenging behavior\nReplacement behaviors\nReinforcement techniques\nPros \u0026amp; cons of reinforcement vs. punishment\nInterventions tailored to the function of the problem behavior\nCollecting and graphing data\nWriting behavior intervention plans\nTroubleshooting\nPositive Behavior Supports\nFull of case studies and Keep it Simple tips, plus forms, figures, and graphs, Stop That Seemingly Senseless Behavior! offers families and professionals proven strategies to change a persons challenging behavior, helping him to have a more productive and inclusive future.\nAn example from the book of an FBA-based intervention:\nMaries problem behavior was swearing. An FBA revealed that Maries swearing functioned to obtain attention from a preferred teacher. Her behavioral intervention allowed her five fewer swear words per day in order to obtain her reinforcer: 15 minutes of special time with her preferred teacher. In order to increase her chances of success, once Marie was only swearing 20 times per day, the allowed swears were reduced by only one each day. The teachers used a token board to help her visualize how many \"swears\" she had left. After two months, Marie was down to zero swearing incidents per day, and maintained this decreased level one year later.\nAlso by Beth Glasberg:\nSiblings of Children with Autism: A Guide for Families\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Woodbine House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45272375197749,"sku":"ByrdShop_1890627763","price":62.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781890627768_164117d9-b406-4a5a-80ff-b23d93bdeec4.jpg?v=1781429322","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/stop-that-seemingly-senseless-behavior-fbabased-interventions-for-people-with-autism-9781890627768","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
