When Plans Go South: Unexpected Moments in Therapy & At Home

Plans can go sideways real quick when working with young neurodiverse learners. How you prepare and adjust on the fly can make all the difference in turning those chaotic moments into positive opportunities! We'll discuss tackling the tough moments that can pop up during assessments or therapy sessions, even when young learners start showing some aggressive behavior. Instead of seeing these moments as setbacks, we're all about flipping the script and turning them into valuable learning opportunities. Whether you're a clinician or a parent, you'll receive some solid strategies to keep things positive and safe, and how to prepare for the unexpected. So, let’s get into some real talk about managing some of these unexpected moments!

In Applied behaviour Analysis (ABA), SEAT is an acronym representing the four primary functions of behaviour: Sensory, Escape, Attention, and Tangible. It is used by clinicians to identify why a behaviour occurs to develop effective, proactive intervention plans and replace challenging behaviours with more functional ones. The Four Functions of Behaviour (SEAT): 1. Sensory (Automatic Reinforcement): The behaviour feels good or self-stimulates the senses (e.g., hand flapping, rocking, humming). 2. Escape (Avoidance): The behaviour allows the individual to avoid or delay a non-preferred task or situation (e.g., running away, tantrums during work). 3. Attention: The behaviour is used to gain social reaction from others, whether positive or negative (e.g., yelling, tapping a teacher). 4. Tangible: The behaviour is used to obtain a desired item or activity (e.g., crying for a toy, asking for candy). **** Visit The Sensory Supply (https://thesensorysupply.com/) for the best in sensory products to soothe, stimulate, and inspire.
