Including behavioral strategies within healthcare requires some finesse to make a positive impact on a child's participation. Understanding why a child is demonstrating behaviors is only part of the solution. This course will highlight the significance of consistency and carryover when implementing behavioral strategies. You will examine methods for shaping, modeling, and replacing behaviors as well as how to respond when a child's behaviors escalate in response to your application of behavioral strategies. Timing and frequency of delivering behavioral strategies will also be distinguished. Finally, when to refer to or seek out a specialist to assist with addressing challenging behaviors will be discussed.

1. It Is Not Just Bribing a Child

Oftentimes rewarding a child may look like bribery or coercion. When reinforcement is delivered correctly, aligned to the specific function of the behavior, this is not the case. Timing, consistency, and when and how to adjust levels of reinforcement will also be differentiated.

2. Now What Do I Do?

When teaching a child new strategies and behaviors, there are several methods that maximize success, such as shaping, modeling, and replacing behaviors. However, there are certain things to consider when teaching new behaviors because sometimes a child reacts more strongly when learning. We will examine how to respond if a child increases their behaviors during this time.

3. Knowing Enough to Know That I Don’t Know Enough

A child’s behaviors can escalate, become more severe, or have significant impact on engagement in daily activities. Recognizing the types of providers out there and when to reach out to a behavioral specialist for advice or assistance is pivotal.
