ReplyDeleteThe child with special may misbehave anytime. The behavior might be due to the child’s inability to understand what is above his cognitive level. Therefore, it is good to weigh the strengths and weakness of each child to determine the best way to include them in any activity. Children often need external incentives to give them the necessary motivation to succeed. As you strive to help your child adopt good behavior habits, consider using both tangible and intangible rewards. Although different, both types of rewards can help give children a firm push in the right direction.

As an early childhood educator, I will first use positive reinforcers to help children with special needs. Secondly, motivation works with children with special needs both in the cases of intrinsic and extrinsic behavior. Thirdly, even though, rewards are positive reforcers, it may not work at all time or serve as tangible rewards. For example, a long term reward have negative effects. Finally, a teacher praise and encouragement is an effective way to increase the performance of any child with disabilities. A child with special needs painted a picture, for praises, I will say “ you work so hard on your picture, pass out papers, choose an activity or game or he or she will be the line leader.

As a parent educator I would go that extra mile for them for any support or resources children might need. When I work with children in their home repeating the activity and having mom do the same thing after the visit is over helps the child. When I tell the child how to do the activity like putting checkers in a bucket, this child may have speech delay, she looks at me and smiles then gets up and walks around eventually she returns and begins to put the checkers in the bucket. I give them time and consistence instructions also mom helps out and she the child eventually understands but it does not happen in one visit it took about two months. Mom and I did not and will not give up child is progressing. After the visit is over she is praise whether it was a small change or big.

When I get the opportunity to go into the classroom I usually assist with the children that have behavior issues I sit down and I talk to them but first I listen to their needs, Children know that I follow through with my directions and with their needs but I also provide two choices after they have calmed down or we worked out the problem and find solutions. I remind children about the rules and give positive reinforcements I like to give children sticker, for me it has worked because they come by my desk after they get picked up and even if they didn't have a good day I still give a sticker and find something good they did for the day.

Children with ADHD have a hard time finishing work. One of the best techniques to use for behavioral intervention are to give praise immediately, provide calming manipulative, activity reinforcement and tangible rewards. Tangible rewards can include handing out stickers or giving privileges as in extra recess or computer time. Children with ADHD most likely do their work and finish it if they receive tangible awards. Also, it gives them a motivation to keep working hard.

Special needs children sometimes need extra support when it comes to classroom expectations there are two behavior modifications that i use that are helpful in supporting children with special needs are;
ReplyDelete1. Scripted stories they are personal, meaningful to the child, and individualized just for them.

2.Cue Cards help to give special need children a visual incentive to complete a task or a desired behavior. It is motivation that after the task or behavior they will receive a tangible reward.

The young children respond very well when we use visible prompts, by incorporating a behavior chart the children can pursue their progress and distinguish a reward when they had reach a goal. The reward can be as simple as using stickers. I found two interesting websites. The first one talks about resources for parents, for teachers and kids, it has different links and ideas such as “REWARD CERTIFICATES,” “BEHAVIOR BUCKS,” or “CAUGHT YOU COUPONS” which I really like and will put into practice.

and the second one are free printable charts that we can incorporate into our classroom, these charts can be individualized since it has different characters and designs.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI think pulling the red, blue and green cards are still effective in this life time. I fell like if the children see the other children's cards they will follow them. What I mean by that is if a child see's a green card on their friends slot they will keep up the good behavior. I also see it as positive reinforcement for the children. I would say it is old school but it will work in the classroom.
