How to Teach Self-Control Through Trigger Analysis - 14553

Additional Book Details

Identifying the triggers for inappropriate behaviors provides a major advantage in helping people to behave appropriately in situations that previously caused them to act improperly. This manual shows how to identify the triggers for undesirable behaviors and teach people to respond properly in the presence of these triggers. Knowing how to respond in the presence of these triggers is the basis of learning self-control. Based on the authors experience and that of other behavior analysts, the focus of this book is on the behavior of children in school environments. Nevertheless, the reader should not find it difficult to extend the principles and procedures of trigger analysis to the behavior of adolescents and adults in home, recreational, and work environments.
