Persistent, Repetitive Behavior Discussion

Persistent, Repetitive Behavior Discussion

  • Ory, N. (2007) Working with people with challenging behaviors. New Lenox: High Tide.
    Challenging Behaviors P 169 – 190

 

For this discussion, I would like you to report out at least three main points of this chapter and what are your take aways?  Again you must then respond to at least two people.  If they did not have the same main points as you had, give them a rationale why you thought your’s were the main points.

Try to relate the beginning of the chapter to the intervention strategies, training, and crisis management points.  Also keep in mind the six A’s.  I know this chapter is really packed full so take your time.

What are some examples of challenging behaviour?
Challenging behaviour can include tantrums, hitting or kicking other people, throwing things or self-harming. Behaviour is challenging if it is harmful to the person and others around them, and if it stops the person achieving things in their daily life, such as making friends or concentrating at school.
