When we take behavior personally, we risk missing the bigger picture.

Behavior doesn’t happen to upset us—it happens because, at some point, it worked. It achieved a goal, met a need, or got a response.

When we shift from taking it personally to understanding the “why,” we open the door to real change.

Watch for the signs. Offer opt out before the behavior!! That is how we do it at Autism Garden 💙

Every challenging classroom behavior has a reason—and when we choose reinforcers that match the function of that behavior, change becomes far more effective and lasting.

Notice—there are no treat boxes or treasure chests here.
When reinforcement is tied to why the behavior is happening, it becomes meaningful, individualized, and far more likely to create real, sustainable change.

I forgot to post Happy Labor Day yesterday because we were having a school holiday fun day at the clinic. Got to see all my boys and they got to visit and tell us all about how their school days are going!
