Behavior Management- Person Centered Approach
May 07, 2024 Episode 149
Shira Karpel & Shayna Gaunt

Through our ABA education, we learned a lot about rules and procedures around behavior management. However, sometimes rigid traditional methods fail to work, and we need to turn to an empathetic, person-centered approach instead. Acknowledging how our learners are feeling in the moment can sometimes be far more effective than trying to push ahead. Here, we discuss how the person-centered approach works.

The beauty of a person-centered approach is that it holds space for our learners while still allowing us to hold firm boundaries. The goal is to come across as a cheerleader, not a controller. We discuss Hanley’s Universal Protocol and related concepts, tips for creating a more positive environment, and how to identify precursors to problem behaviors.

On Thursday, May 17th, we’re hosting a live CEU event on a child-centered approach to behavior management. Click the link below to sign up!
