Tools for your toolbox
This website describes a process for creating behavior plans for addressing challenging behaviors. Here are some ideas for things that go into those behavior plans. Feel free to contact me directly if you want more information about any of these ideas!
A better response cost procedure
Response cost is a procedure that can help a student go from higher rates of behavior to lower rates. My version is a more positive supportive response cost procedure. Click the picture to learn more. Evidence-based Practices

Check-in/Check-out is a strategy that can be used for students who need to be monitored closely. While CICO can be a school-based Tier 2 strategy, it can also be implemented for individual students. Click the picture to learn more. |
The Daily Report Card
The Daily Report Card is a strategy in which the student carries around a form that identifies a few key behaviors for the student. Teachers provide feedback on how the student did with those behaviors. A reward system is used to motivate the student. Click the picture to learn more!
The Incredible 5-Point Scale
The Incredible 5-Point Scale is a strategy that can help students learn to recognize their emotional states or other abstract concepts. It is also a good environmental support, once it is learned, to allow students to self-monitor themselves. It can also be used as a reactive strategy when you use the scale to cue them to self-manage! Click the picture to learn more. |
Big deal - Little Deal
Some students struggle to deal with situations that most people would consider "no big deal." Their reactions are disproportionate to the situation. Consider teaching them the difference between things that are a big deal and things that aren't worth stressing over. |
Change in Routine
Some students struggle when their routine is disrupted. Giving them a tool to help them understand that change is happening and when things will return to "normal" will help. |
Visual schedules
Visual schedules are important tools for students who become anxious or confused about the order of their day. |
