Document Summary
Can"t let this behavior continue because it will lead to disruptive behavior in the future. Never consider punishment unless other alternatives didn"t work. Person that does intervention can monitor them in non-exclusionary. If you don"t have a time out room this is what you use. Monitor behavior to make sure they don"t hurt themselves. Safety: they can hurt themselves to person trying to do intervention. Duration: should be as short as possible like 10 seconds. Time out room for 1 or 5 minutes, 10 minutes the most. Escape: make sure new behaviors aren"t occurring. Confounding interactions: something is reinforced by social attention. No intermittent punishment, that is a bad idea. We want to get rid of behavior so apply it consistency. Brief: meaning least amount to provide effective change. Practical: have to carry it out appropriately. Have to get ethics approval from school board or wherever you"re working.
