Ep 29 Functions of behavior: The WHY more than the WHAT

Описание: In this episode, we highlight why knowing the function of behavior is crucial for effective management:

⚫️*Function vs. Form:* The form of behavior (e.g., yelling) is different from its function (e.g., seeking attention or avoiding a task).

⚫️*Four Main Functions:*
•*Attention:* Behaviors aimed at getting someone’s attention (e.g., a.
child jumping up and down).
•*Escape/Avoidance:* Behaviors to avoid or escape undesirable tasks
(e.g., hitting the snooze button).
•*Access to Tangibles:* Behaviors to obtain desired items or activities
(e.g., asking for a cookie).
•*Sensory Stimulation/Automatic Reinforcement:* Behaviors providing
sensory satisfaction (e.g., self-soothing actions like rocking).

Key Takeaway: Identify the underlying function of a behavior to address it effectively and improve future interactions. Stay tuned for strategies in our upcoming course!
