Very cool! Let them know your input!

We’re building something new at Teague Park! Longview Parks and Rec is in the early stages of planning an inclusive playground, and we need input from local families and experts. To help us build the best facility possible, we’re looking to connect with organizations that support residents with physical or developmental disabilities. Please share any contact info or group names in the comments so we can send them our planning survey. Help us make sure every kid in Longview has a great place to play.

Do you know the ABCs of applied behavior analysis (ABA)?

Change the antecedent and/or the consequence and you can change the behavior!

Did you know...
ABA isn’t just for your kids?! You can also use self-management strategies to change your own behavior over time 😱

Have a task that is difficult for your child to complete?

Try breaking the task down into smaller parts and allow your child to complete one part at a time. Remember to provide social praise and reinforcers (things they often ask for that you can typically use as incentive for them to do something) as they make progress in completing the task!

I’m considering offering a teen group to help kids with social deficits. If you would be interested in something like this, please let me know!!

It’s kind of sad when your husband uses the ABA skills he learned from you ON you to keep from telling you your Christmas present 😂

When your student figures out what behavior intervention you’re using on them...

Applied Behavior Analysis is a scientific approach that examines observable behaviors and environmental factors to determine functions of behavior and develop more appropriate behaviors that can serve the same function.

🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩

Sometimes this is as simple as planned ignoring undesired behaviors and teaching the behavior of appropriately requesting. Sometimes, however, the behavior and environment must be studied more closely and we must be inventive when choosing our replacement behaviors.

🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩

Although it’s nice when the function of the behavior is simply cut and dry, it can be fun to be creative when trying to change behaviors! Behaviors often serve more than one function, so we are also often teaching more than one replacement behavior.

🧩🧩🧩🧩

Because everyone is different, each behavior change plan is individually designed to meet that person’s specific needs.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to call or shoot me a message!
