Behavior Plan

What is a behavior plan? It is a plan for how to encourage a behavior we want to see and/or replace a behavior that is not socially acceptable or not working to get what the child/youth needs. Be sure to review the behavior plan regularly to see if it matches what we are trying to do and that we remove the clutter (old methods that did not work).

Many times, the team will wait to implement a behavior plan when a behavior has really gone over the top or become very annoying or disruptive to a lot of people. Unfortunately this can mean that the child has been using the disruptive behavior for a while so it may take some time and persistence to modify the behavior.
