WHAT IS BEHAVIOR
![Page 5: 1 PBS-Nevada Presents: Building Cooperative Behavior Nevada Disabilities Conference July 20, 2015 Ashley Greenwald, M.A., BCBA Christine O’Flaherty, M.S.,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697c00b1a28abf838cc8581/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is Behavior?
Building Cooperative Learning
Everything a person does is
behavior- thoughts,
feelings, and actions.
It can be observed and measured!It is a result of past
and present experiences.
…but the most important thing is what happens AFTER
behavior!

How do we Normally “Treat Behavior?”
• Respond once a negative behavior occurs
• Ignore those that are doing the “right thing”
• Develop treatments around consequences
• Attribute the problem behavior to the person

Creating Optimal Environments
• Gather information• Think ahead • Be Prepared• Create predictable routines• Offer choices*
![Page 16: 1 PBS-Nevada Presents: Building Cooperative Behavior Nevada Disabilities Conference July 20, 2015 Ashley Greenwald, M.A., BCBA Christine O’Flaherty, M.S.,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697c00b1a28abf838cc8581/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Examples Of Arranging The Environment!
A) setting up group activities before the children arrive so they can go straight to something
B) Having a variety of activities available so that there is more likely to be something that everyone will enjoy
C) Ensuring that there aren't places that aren't easily supervised available to the kids
Pick the best

Offer Choices
• We all like to have some say about what we do and when!
• What are some choices you made today?
![Page 19: 1 PBS-Nevada Presents: Building Cooperative Behavior Nevada Disabilities Conference July 20, 2015 Ashley Greenwald, M.A., BCBA Christine O’Flaherty, M.S.,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697c00b1a28abf838cc8581/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Choices Can…
• Increase the likelihood of complying with instructions
• Build self-determination
• Gives the individual a sense of control over their environment
![Page 20: 1 PBS-Nevada Presents: Building Cooperative Behavior Nevada Disabilities Conference July 20, 2015 Ashley Greenwald, M.A., BCBA Christine O’Flaherty, M.S.,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697c00b1a28abf838cc8581/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Why We Tend to Limit Choices
• “Bad choices” could be harmful
• Not knowing how to offer choices to individuals who have limited language, limited understanding
• Response time in making choices

When we withhold our attention during the
occurrence of junk by turning to someone
something else, we call this “pivoting.”
When we see junk, we turn to desirable
behavior or activities.

Steps to Pivot
1. Do not say anything about the junk behavior!
• Examples: Do not say “stop that now!” or “quit doing that!”
30
![Page 31: 1 PBS-Nevada Presents: Building Cooperative Behavior Nevada Disabilities Conference July 20, 2015 Ashley Greenwald, M.A., BCBA Christine O’Flaherty, M.S.,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697c00b1a28abf838cc8581/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Steps to Pivot
2. Do not do anything to react to the junk behavior
– Examples: Rolling your eyes, stomping out of the room, and crossing your arms.

see appropriate behavior.– Examples: praise, high five, item and privilege

Increase Positive Interactions
• Catch the individual being good!
• Provide positive attention and praise more often than negative (or punitive) attention.
• Have fun!
![Page 38: 1 PBS-Nevada Presents: Building Cooperative Behavior Nevada Disabilities Conference July 20, 2015 Ashley Greenwald, M.A., BCBA Christine O’Flaherty, M.S.,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697c00b1a28abf838cc8581/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What is Praise?
Praise looks like…– Wink– Smile– Pat on the back– High five– Others??
Praise sounds like…• “You are playing so well
together!”• Initiate positive interactions:
– Asking if assistance is required– Asking to join in!
• Providing positive feedback regarding appropriate behavior
• 5:1 Ratio of positive to negative statements*
![Page 39: 1 PBS-Nevada Presents: Building Cooperative Behavior Nevada Disabilities Conference July 20, 2015 Ashley Greenwald, M.A., BCBA Christine O’Flaherty, M.S.,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697c00b1a28abf838cc8581/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
5:1 Ratio
Individuals should experience positive interactions (ratio of 5 positives for every 1 negative)
Positive Interactions= Praise statements and Encouragement statements
Negative Interactions= Corrective statements
Neutral Interactions = Instructional statements
![Page 40: 1 PBS-Nevada Presents: Building Cooperative Behavior Nevada Disabilities Conference July 20, 2015 Ashley Greenwald, M.A., BCBA Christine O’Flaherty, M.S.,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697c00b1a28abf838cc8581/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Redirect then Reinforce
• While you’re looking for children to “catch being good,” you may find children making the wrong choices – then what?
• Instead of attending to the inappropriate behavior, redirect the child to a more appropriate activity or behavior– Tell them what to do instead, rather than what
NOT to do!
![Page 41: 1 PBS-Nevada Presents: Building Cooperative Behavior Nevada Disabilities Conference July 20, 2015 Ashley Greenwald, M.A., BCBA Christine O’Flaherty, M.S.,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697c00b1a28abf838cc8581/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Positive Reinforcement Is:
A) Introducing something following a behavior that gets you more of that behavior
B) It should be something the individual likes, not just something you do
C) If you are seeing more of the behavior you don't have a reinforcer
