Typical causes of problem behaviors:
  • child has no way of predicting how long an activity will last.
  • child cannot predict how much he/she will be asked to do.
  • child does not know when he/she will be able to choose an activity.
  • child does not know the order in which demands will be made.
Some strategies to try:
  • use a picture sequence to represent work order.
  • lay out all materials in a row for work order.
  • define length of activity by number of materials (for example: 6 blocks to be stacked or mark with four markers).
  • use selective choice making for example the teacher lays out 3 items that can be used to accomplish the same goal, then the student selects what is most interesting.
  • have a box of materials the student is to use, but have the student lay out the sequence
