Positive Behaviour Support Strategies for Students with Aggressive Behaviour : A Step by Step Guide to Assessing - Managing - Preventing Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties

Most students display aggressive behaviour at various stages of development. A student may snatch a toy from a peer, push a peer who is too close, kick a peer who is making fun of them, call a peer names, or scream if something is taken away. While most students outgrow this kind of behaviour as they mature emotionally and develop more sophisticated language social and problem solving skills, some students do not.  Some students consistently exhibit aggressive behaviours. Based on the evidence based Positive Behaviour Support approach this user-friendly resource will equip you with the knowledge and skills to manage challenging behaviours at all levels of severity.  Practical strategies on how to design the environment, activity and instructions to facilitate positive changes will be provided. Use the comprehensive checklists and tools provided to develop PBS plans that can be used to support the student consistently in all settings. This invaluable resource is useful for teachers, parents, early childhood educators, support staff, and mental health, allied health and supervisory professionals who support students with a diagnosis of Conduct Disorder or who exhibit aggressive behaviour.
