In this episode of Teach Task Box Inspire, Lisa dives into a familiar challenge in special education classrooms: escape behaviors. These are behaviors that students may use to avoid tasks or instructions, and Lisa highlights how important it is to collect ABC data to uncover the reasons behind them. She shares five practical strategies to help manage and reduce these behaviors, like teaching students to ask for breaks, using visual schedules, giving students choices, prepping transitions with timers, and using differential reinforcement. These tips aim to support students and foster a more positive learning space.
