1. What Is Behavior?
Recognizing that all children demonstrate behaviors is important; however, when these behaviors impact a child’s participation in daily activities, this can be a challenge, especially when they are receiving skilled intervention to address an identified concern. Behavior will be defined and discussed, as will the public health significance of challenging behaviors.
2. Why Do Children Act This Way?
When children demonstrate challenging behaviors while participating in skilled intervention, being able to identify and differentiate the reasons why they are demonstrating the behavior and how these behaviors present are important. The common functions of behaviors will be displayed, as will examples of what these behaviors look like.
3. How Do Behaviors Impact a Child’s Participation in Specialized Care?
This chapter will present results from a national survey of occupational therapy practitioners who were probed about their perceptions of challenging behaviors in pediatric intervention. The impact of behaviors will be discussed and compared, as will the intensity of behaviors. Finally, the analysis and interpretation of gaps in current knowledge and education will be presented.
