This episode is a wrap up of the Challenging Behaviour series over here on Psychminds Podcast. We discuss tangible maintained behaviour which is challenging behaviour maintained by access to tangible items such as toys, food items, places etc.
We also talk about a less discussed function which I believe is worth noting. Give the episode a listen to find out what it is ;)
While it is helpful to identify different functions of behaviour, it is also important to note that human behaviour is extremely nuanced and these functions are generally operating in combination with each other. For instance, a child usually engages in certain behaviours to access escape from a task (escape maintained behaviour) but it is also likely to be maintained by access to tangible items as well since it is unlikely that the child would just want to escape the task and sit and do nothing.
For this episodes freebie, you have access to a Verbal De-escalation Procedure which involves problem solving with your child to help de-escalate potentially fractious situations. To access this procedure, all you have to do is head on over to www.psychminds.com. Once your on the website, click the resources section and subscribe. You will then have access to the ENTIRE resource library.
