This useful guide provides specific strategies to help change difficult behavior due to sensory processing issues in pre-teen children and to determine the possible reasons for the behavior. It is also applicable for older students who have disabilities and those who qualify for OT and/or SLP services. The book includes simple explanations of technical behavioral terminology and practical examples of many concepts and suggestions. In addition, it addresses distinct ways in which sensory processing and behavior strategies work together.
The guide is based on the study of behavioral research as well as the author's 25 year career as a behavior consultant. A checklist helps you follow the appropriate steps in developing a behavior change program. The book also includes tables to help you determine how to prevent difficult behaviors and to determine appropriate interventions. A glossary of terms commonly used in behavior psychology and a bibliography featuring helpful references are also included.
