Being proactive
Updated: Sep 14, 2022
Proactive approaches, such as co-creating guidelines do not eliminate challenging behaviors, but can reduce the number of occurrences. Learners know what's expected and that decreases anxiety and uncertainty.
Recommendations for co-creating guidelines include:
•3 to 5 – NOT a laundry list
•Framed in the positive
•Worded by the participants wherever possible
•Post and refer to them often
•Visual symbols work well
