Ideas

What IDEA says about PBS

• Consider if Impedes
• School-wide
• General education
• Incidental benefit
• Service not a place
• School-improvement
• FBA/BIP

11
Principles

• Behavior
• Reinforcement
• Punishment
• Setting events
• Discipline
• Shaping

12
Principles

• Behavior Purposive Communitive
• Reinforcement Add or take away something,
  behavior goes up
• Punishment You do something behavior does not
  occur again
• Setting events before behavior
• Discipline to teach
• Shaping baby steps

13
Punishment

• Punishment stops a behavior
• Alone, it has some major side effects
• Increases escape/avoidance
• Encourages sneaky behaviors
• Generates desire for revenge
• Makes behavior harder to change
• Does not teach
• You cant find a big enough hammer
• It works both ways
• It makes us filter (e.g., Hes always mean to
  me!)

14
Punishment

• What things have you stopped doing
  professionally?
• What are some the reasons people stop a practice?

15
Question

• Have you ever had a flat on your car, then
  yelled at the dog when you got home?

16
Setting Events

• Variables (antecedents) that effect behaviors in
  the future
• This is why quality of life is a factor

(From Smith Iwata, 1997)
17
Shaping Behaviors

• What comes to your mind when I say someone is
  shaping behavior?

18
Shaping

• Not acknowledging the problem behaviors
• Prompting what you want to see
• Reinforcing behaviors close to the goal
• What About Bob?

19
Shaping

• How are new skills of staff supported?
• Think of a skill that you learned as a child.
• How did you learn the skill?
• Who taught you?
• How were you supported?
• What did you have to do to grow?
