Barriers to Progress in Therapy:
Off-task behaviors are exhibited in transitions and without close attention (when parent and clinician are talking) including:• touch the clinicians’ face, run away, close and
lock doors, climb onto tables, drop to the floor or under chairs or tables, pull at or tear the clinician’s shirt, and remove his own clothing
Functions:
• negative attention seeking
• escape

Behavior Support Plan (Informal)
• Respond to maladaptive behaviors by asking “Do you need help?”
• If ‘yes’ (“ess”) provide assistance• If ‘no’ (“oh”) and behavior persists, inform
that “I’m going to help you” and physically assist him in keeping his hand in his lap
• Direct him “quiet hands” and ”tell me when you’re ready” while giving no eye contact or attention other than physical cue.
• Nicolas will indicate that he is ready and will again participate in the presented task.
