The article breaks down the use of PBIS into the different tiers showing where a student will be placed depending on the support that they need. It also demonstrates how it is used specifically for a student with Autism. Using the model that is geared towards this population proves to show that it has decreased aggression outbreaks, tantrums, and restraint among these students. This method helps decrease unwanted behaviors. Staff favored this model and want to continue implementing it and trying it online with students as well.

When students in the classroom are disruptive and acting out of character, there may be an underlying issue causing these reactions. As educators, we need to look at positive supports that can be implemented to decrease the problem behaviors from reoccuring. PBIS allows a different approach for each student. It is unique and can be fine-tuned in a way that best suits the student. This article focuses on social interactions that these students have and educators can facilitate them in a more positive way that can help the students. PBIS helps teach new skills that will replace the challenging behaviors that the students are experiencing. ]]> 2022-03-19 13:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2102974232 hunterleigh https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2102983280 Link: https://dpi.wi.gov/sped/educators/behavior-supports/proactive-pbis

Positive behavioral interventions are put in place to help meet those needs of students who have areas of struggle such as needs, skills, and problems. These interventions become a part of the student's IEP process to help them do better and be better in school. This article shows that punishment is not effective. Teachers need to be more proactive by using PBIS to implement strategies that will help eliminate outbreaks and tantrums when students with Autism become overwhelmed and not confident in what they are doing. Numbers show that the percentage of times that problem behavior interferes with students in the classroom decreases with the use of PBIS.]]> 2022-03-19 13:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2102983280 hunterleigh https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2102989248 Link: https://autismspectrumnews.org/positive-behavioral-interventions-and-supports-an-effective-approach-for-schools-to-prevent-and-manage-challenging-behaviors/#:~:text=The%20school%2Dwide%20nature%20of,classroom%2C%20hallways%20%26%20cafeteria).

It is important that the school and the teacher make it very clear what is expected of each student and the expectations that they need to work towards. With PBIS, it is clearly stated and easy to follow and understand what it is you are to be doing. For a student with Autism, they need a regimented schedule with consistency in order to do their best. With the use of PBIS, it is clear, concise, and consistent. It tends to make it easier for the students to understand what behavior expectations are being asked of them. It helps them learn appropriate behaviors when faced with challenges.]]> 2022-03-19 13:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2102989248 hunterleigh https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2102998720 Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nrb1x916r0U

This video does a great job of showing what a token economy is and how it works. In the video, she worked on different sets of activities. Once a task was accomplished correctly, she received a token. Each token received was a reinforcement to get IPad time. Once all four were complete, she received her IPad. This is a great way to motivate students to do certain things and encourage them to keep trying and doing what they need to be doing. This big reward at the end really helps them get through a challenging task and can help eliminate problem behavior. ]]> 2022-03-19 14:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2102998720 hunterleigh https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2103025333 Link: https://www.sarahdooleycenter.org/news/autism-in-the-classroom-how-to-handle-behavior-challenges/

Many students with Autism often times have trouble expressing thoughts, feelings, and emotions. This can look like fidgeting, mimicking, repeating behaviors, being aggressive and acting out, tantrums, not following directions, etc. Many of these actions turn into problem behaviors in the classroom. In order to eliminate these behaviors, a behavior plan can be implemented. PBIS come into play to help eliminate these behaviors. The PBIS model allows the teacher to make a decision to see how much support a student needs and what will best help them. Once a Tier is picked and a strategy is picked, implementation will happen. When the implementation begins to work, you will start seeing a descrease in the problem behavior with a more positive outcome. ]]> 2022-03-19 14:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2103025333 hunterleigh https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2103035460 Link: https://glenwood.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/article-positive-behavior-supports-for-children-and-youth-with-autism.pdf

The purpose of PBIS is minimize the amount of times an interfering behavior occurs. With the use of PBIS, behaviors are reduced and students learn more positive approaches and ways to handle their problem behaviors with the help of their teachers. For students with Autism, this approach allows the teachers to work individually and diligently with the student so they know exactly what they are doing wrong and how it needs to be changed as it is not meeting expectations. Their is structure for them to follow and respond to. Within these intervetions, the students behaviors are addressed more effectively making this the best approach to help them curb problem behavior. ]]> 2022-03-19 14:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2103035460 hunterleigh https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2103663794 Link: https://blog.stageslearning.com/blog/cool-down-spaces-best-practices-for-managing-challenging-behaviors-in-the-classroom-or-the-home

Behavioral outbursts happen fairly often in the classroom. The student can feel overwhelmed and confused also making teachers unsure of what they can do specifically to help. It is important in these situations to turn to behavior management techniques to deescalate problem behavior. In this article, they use PBIS to create a cool-down space. This strategy helps to eliminate outbursts and calm individuals. This can involve things like cool-down walks, sensory stimulators, therapeutic toys, any object that cancels out noise, etc. The purpose is to distract the mind from what is going on and attempt to soothe it until the students can collect themself and talk about what happened and how to better manage it. ]]> 2022-03-20 12:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2103663794 hunterleigh https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2103668362 Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwdAFU54RVM

This video demonstrates how important it is to be positive in the classroom. The students look up to the teacher and model what they hear he say and watch her do. The golden ratio rule is 5:1. There should always be 5 positives for every negative. It is important to not have a habit of turning to the negatives. A way to fix problem behavior is to say what you like that certain students are doing. For example: Ashlyn, I love how you are sitting quietly with your back straight and hands crossed waiting for me to teach. Other students will begin mimicking this behavior because they also will want to be praised. It is important to leave the negatives out such as saying, Ryan you are out of your seat and unfocused in front of everyone. Other students may be tempted to listen to those words and act upon them. Implementing the positives and keeping it consistent can help eliminate some problem behaviors.]]> 2022-03-20 12:48:11 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2103668362 hunterleigh https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2103682093 Link: https://ocde.us/EducationalServices/LearningSupports/PBIS/Documents/Articles/Using+PBS+to+Manage+Avoidance.pdf

This article brings to light the downside of consequences and punishments. These are not always effective approaches and sometimes create more problem behavior. Using more proactive techniques helps keeps students more engaged in the classroom setting. A study was conducted for a 6-year-old girl where they began implementing PBIS to reduce problem behaviors that were occuring. They broke down the behavior in 5 different stages depending on where she was in the school and what she was doing to see if they could pinpoint a trigger. They collected data and used it to determine what strategy would work best. There are multiple areas that needed to be tended to. They used punishment as a way to try and correct her behavior but instead it created an escape to get out of doing her work. They decided to implement a reward system where the student can get a break time and pick an item of choice after she completes and does so many things asked of her. With this positive change came positive results. It helped curb problem behavior and helped the student engage more in the classroom. ]]> 2022-03-20 13:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterleigh/5cw40lk0r8uyam23/wish/2103682093
