Pairing first and last 15 min.
Fade in demands.
Play and bond with her. Slowly give demands if able.
Use ‘first then’ when necessary
Ex: first Anna’s turn, then Amelia’s turn.
Ex: first clean up vehicles, then frog game
Prime her for sharing with sister.
Encourage her to share and take turns
Prompt/honor functional communication for cessation when escape is evident
If she gets board with something, prompt “I’m done with etc” “I’m…”.
R+ “nice telling me”
R+ Procedures:
Vocal praise, music, play with me, preferred items/activities.
Include the demand. “I’m… I…”
Replacement Strategies
- Prompt Functional communication. - Use wait method with turn taking (praise nice waiting).
Offer alternatives while waiting if necessary (ex: engage with truck while waiting for airplane)
Deescalation:
Possible precursors to escalation / tantrums etc
Whining, collecting toys, repeated vocal refusal, moving quickly toward sibling
Possible Triggers
• Denied Access to preferred things
• Saying “no” to her
• Physical transitions
• Transitions from high to low preferred activities
• Blocking of engaging in ritualistic behaviors
Significant (possible) escalation causes:
• Hungry
• Tired
• Recent access denial (including implied – ex: when sibling uses item)
Help Strategies
Prompt request for help
(ex. “What do you want?” “What do you need help with?” etc.)
Wait 10 seconds
Prompt again if necessary
Prompt Strategy
High Probability Sequence:
Use series of low effort instructions if possible rather than a single instruction for a series of behaviors (ex: “pick up car”, “put it in the bag”, “wait for paint”
rather than “clean up the toys”)
Prompting of Incompatible/Alternative:
Prompt behavior that cannot be completed at the same time as the behavior you want to end
(Ex: “have a drink”) when child is mouthing toys and remove toy as soon as is practical then redirect to another alternative activity
During escalation prompting
Don’t push for learning (ex: client says “I want toys”, do not prompt client to say “Can I have the toys please?”)
Wait Strategy
(If help and prompt don’t work)
Don’t comment on behavior, remain neutral.
Neutral body posture (side angle).
Block aggression toward sibling.
If behavior related to access to item, redirect to different activity until able to use Help or Prompt strategy
