Post Test Questions

Pre/post questions from: Tom James Presentation

  1. What is Positive Behavior Support? View answer
    Is an approach for dealing with challenging behavior that focuses on changing the environment and skill deficits that contribute to the person's problem behavior.
  2. Does all behavior have a purpose, even a challenging one? View answer
    Challenging Behaviors are messages about unmet needs and the quality of a person's life.
  3. Why is it important to know if a person has physical or psychological pain or/and is on medication? View answer
    Many people who exhibit challenging behavior do so because they don't feel well. This must be the first place for understanding behavior.
  4. Why is it important for people with developmental disabilities to have choices? View answer
    If the person's behavior challenges you, help them find more desirable ways to express the need that underlies the behavior.
  5. Why would we want to help a person with developmental disabilities have more fun? View answer
    Fun is a powerful antidote to challenging behaviors.
  6. Why would you want to have a good relationship with the medical care provider if the person has a challenging behavior? View answer
    Physicians, like many other people have difficulty understanding the communication of a person with substantial disabilities. Help the physician to understand the person's ways of communicating.
