Here is a list of ideas to help reduce stress and anxiety related behaviors:

Maddy, love this idea too. It is so easy, even for me, to speak negatively about oneself.

Thumbs up for all the great comments!!

We also use it when he [they] do something great = make them say something complimentary about themselves out loud so that they acknowledge their achievement as it helps to counteract so much of the ‘negative talk.’
Best wishes

(That was a thumbs-up for this post!)

Technically, the behavior specialist does not have to be the one to do the FBA or BIP (at least in our district); it just has to be a special ed teacher.

For this one, they can probably use the information provided by the autism consultant and Michael’s BSC (behavior specialist through MA who goes into both home and school) and the Learning Support Teacher can write it up.

I need to get that book – thanks for the recommendation!

Behavior plans must be a part of the IEP. If a child’s behavior interferes with his or her learning, a behavior plan is required. Have training and supports for staff included in the IEP. Make sure the BIP (Behavior Intervention Plan) covers specific areas your child needs to work on, and does not include globally applied words like “appropriate.”

A great book for this is: Asperger Syndrome and Difficult Moments: Practical Solutions for Tantrums, Rage, and Meltdowns by Brenda Smith Myles- If your AS child exhibits any problems with behavior, this book helps parents with strategies and ideas to help their child. To effectively carry out individualized interventions with children with AS, we must first analyze the behaviors that precede situations, as well as those that happen during and after. Instead of random hit or miss efforts, this book explains the tools that parents and educators can use to pinpoint bad behavior and their causes and how to develop and implement a Behavior Intervention Plan that promotes proper behavior.
