Positive Behaviour Support Strategies for Students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Step by Step Guide to Assessing, Preventing and Ma

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is defined by a pattern of behaviour involving inattention, disorganisation, and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity. Without adequate support, educators can spend a considerable amount of time and energy on the instructional and behavioural management of children with ADHD with little success. This takes valuable teaching time away from not only children with ADHD, but also the rest of their class as well. In addition, it can become a principal source of frustration and stress. Does this sound familiar?

Positive Behaviour Support Strategies for Students with ADHD: A Step by Step Guide to Assessing, Managing, and Preventing Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties is a highly practical book that can be used by educators in childcare, preschool, schools, and community services to learn the evidence-based approach of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) to assess, manage, and prevent challenging behaviours in children of all ages with ADHD.

Learn how to complete a functional behaviour analysis to document behaviour incidents, identify triggers, and determine the reasons for specific challenging behaviours. Consult the bank of proactive strategies that can be tailored to an individual child's environment to prevent triggers and promote positive ways of communicating, behaving, and managing emotions. Develop an escalation profile to describe the different verbal and non-verbal signals the child exhibits as their levels of stress, anger, and/or frustration increase, and determine strategies for responding to each escalation stage.
