So true! Focus on specific behaviors and not all of them at once. Think: What is the priority?@SRamsayABA @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

To address problem behavior you need know the function, parents respond based on function not form #TMWTDT #drkimliveshow @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

Yes. There is no point in an intervention if it doesn't address the function! @Nannie_AP @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

fba's may require testing different types of environments to determine the function of the behavior #drkimliveshow #tmwtdt @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

Yes! If we can't observe the client in each environment, indirect assessment may show a fuller picture of behavior @wattsaba @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

Indirect assessments are an important part of the puzzle, but generally not the only useful piece #TMWTDT #DrKimLIVEShow @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

Consistency is key! @leahcatledge @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

Behavior must be well defined so all are on the same page. Set goals & track behavior to see progress. #TMWTDT #DrKimLIVEshow @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

Exactly! Just as we like variety, so do children. @RachelBhuyan @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

The most effective way to increase behavior is reinforcement. Take time to find the right one! #TMWTDT #DrKimLIVEshow @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

Exactly! Change takes time. Give your plan a chance to work before you start to modify it. @lizzdawsonn @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

Always check the feasibility of your plan. If it can't be implemented properly, it will not work! #TMWTDT #DrKimliveshow @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

Words have diff meanings based on how it is said, used & the motivation behind them #TMWTDT #DrKimLIVEshow @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

Exactly! Don't expect people to be mind readers. Be clear when stating what you expect or want @Nannie_AP @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

Children learn what they are given! Give respect and they will learn to do the same! @leahcatledge @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

Keep realistic expectations about your child's behavior! How you manage anger sets the stage for them #Drkimliveshow #TMWTDT @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

@SRamsayABA @Rehakyourlife always great to have someone I your corner!

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

Agreed! Say it out loud and stick to it! #goals @leahcatledge @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

Self management: specify your goal, define target behaviors, self monitor & remember contingencies #TMWTDT #Dr.KimLIVEshow @Rehakyourlife

[Erin Hopkins @elytle]

@BRoss_SJU @Rehakyourlife yes! Not every method works for each age or each child! Individualize your methods!
