WCDSB, HDSB & Erinoakkids
5BehaviourWhen we are recording behaviour, we are recording factual information
WCDSB, HDSB & ErinoakkidsData should be recorded using minimal written information
More information does not = good information
Data does not contain assumptions, personal opinions or personal views on situations
6ConsequenceWhat was the response to the behaviour?
Verbal attention given?
Physical attention given?
Ignored?
Activity/task reduced?
Activity/task taken away?
Change of location?WCDSB, HDSB & Erinoakkids

They provide an effective detour
They teach appropriate skill deficitWCDSB, HDSB & Erinoakkids
