First, it’s important to check in and see if YH is confident in her ability to adopt the new behaviour, if she lacks confidence the behaviour change is less likely. If her confidence is lacking, it’s vital to re-assess the appropriateness of the intervention for YH. For example, I might consider that the ‘turtle’ image might not be working. The original authors mentioned that for third or higher grades, children may not respond well to the turtle image and other ‘more mature’ images are desirable. It doesn’t matter what the image is, just how it is used. Any vivid image can serve as the metaphor for this self-control response intervention. Lastly, adjust therapy specifically to her, write social stories (or modify the turtle story) about individual anger management, what are her ‘triggers?’, and are there any new responses she needs to practice?
If the above does not work, modification depends on monitoring records (or asking YH herself) to determine which step YH is having difficulty with. One component of the turtle technique is relaxation. If YH is unable to relax using three deep breaths, the technique might need to be modified or substituted to find the best one that YH identifies with. To modify the three deep breaths, one can teach her a different technique ‘smell the flowers and blow out the candles.’ If this doesn’t work, one might need to

YH has a history of emotional issues, trauma and learning difficulties. The FAB Turtle Technique individualizes the turtle technique for students with special needs by enhancing the original turtle technique curriculum and resources. However, there is a possibility that Turtle Technique might not match well with YH if her behaviour antecedent is attention seeking behaviour vs. difficulties with self-control. Therefore, it might be wise to try another
Betrayal is being disloyal to others and even oneself, therefore betrayal can cause many emotional fallouts and baggage within relationships. In the story, The World on the Turtle's Back, betrayal is a huge factor in how the story plays out, as it is in the song The Letter by Kehlani, Genesis 4:1-16, and Matthew 26:14-16 . Three ways in which betrayal is portrayed in the story, the song, and the Bible is by the actions people take to one another, disconnections in relationships that lead to betrayal, and emotional baggage.
In the Grapes of Wrath, a novel by John Steinbeck, there are many examples of symbolism. One of the most prominent symbols found in this book is the turtle seen in chapter three. This turtle is symbolic of three things: the Joads and their journey west, Tom Joad himself, and the promise of new life. First, here’s a little background information on the turtle. This land turtle was somewhere to go. Where than is, no one knows, except perhaps John Steinbeck. To get there the turtle decides to take the perilous journey down a dusty dirt road that stretches along the quiet countryside. What could happen? A lot more than one might think. In fact, the turtle faces quite a few challenged ranging from pesky insects, to ledges, to even cars. But, the thing that makes this turtle special is that he never gives up (Pages
Throughout the animal kingdom, adaptations take place continuously and even the smallest of changes can leave a significant impact. Examples can be seen within any plant or animal. One example would include sea turtles, specifically, the Loggerhead Turtles. These turtles are native to the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans as well as the Mediterranean Sea (Deurmit L 2007). They thrive in either temperate or tropical climates and can live in a myriad of biomes (Deurmit L 2007). These biomes include the pelagic, reef, coastal, and brackish water (Deurmit L 2007). Loggerhead turtles are omnivores and can eat anything from insects to aquatic crustaceans, to macro algae (Deurmit L 2007). According to Deurmit (2007) Caretta caretta is classified into Animalia Kingdom, Chordata Phylum, Vertebrata Subphylum, Reptilian Class, Testudines’ Order,
1. Based on what you read in the text and viewed in the modules, what do you believe are some effective strategies for dealing with students with behavioral issues? Please be specific to information from the modules and the text. Show me what you have learned!
“Myths can be described as sacred tales that help man understand the world and his place in it. Myths often try to respond to various eternal questions, such as the origin of the existence of evil, and also, through the archetypes that they provide, seem to give guidance to every generation,” as an Access teacher states, on enotes.com. During one’s education, grammar school through college, we fortunately get the opportunity to be exposed to countless myths and also numerous mythological creatures that we have never heard of before. Personally it was quite the challenge to relate some of these mythological tales into my own life. We don’t usually realize or understand, at that exact time of hearing or reading the creation myth, their drive
It takes a while to change any behavior. Part of the plan should be effective consequence strategies. Planned consequences reinforce the acquisition and use of alternative skills and reduce the effectiveness of problem behavior should it continue to occur. Having planned consequences should help teach the student that his/her use of alternative skills is a better way to bring about the desired result. Because it does take a while for a behavior intervention plan to change a student 's behavior, it is important that the IEP team decide what will happen when the problem behavior still occurs. If it is a manageable behavior, it is important to come up with responses that discourage the problem behavior and do not provide the function or desired result of the behavior. In some cases the behavior may be extreme. The IEP team should develop a crisis plan to address those situations. First the group needs to define what is a crisis. Then they should describe the intervention procedures to be put into place including who will be involved. They must identify the resources needed to implement the plan and agree on the procedures for documenting the use of the crisis
As teachers, we are often expending more of our energy than is necessary by not taking time to implement a more comprehensive approach toward behavior management. In many cases one will need only a few of these strategies in place to create a positive behavioral support plan.
...lating their own behaviour as they have had lots of practice doing so (NSW DET, 2003, p. 13). By most students demonstrating their ability to self-regulate throughout the lesson, it leaves the teacher the opportunity to better manage challenging behaviours such as Ray’s ADHD/ODD, Michael and Kendall’s tendencies to defy or be oppositional and refuse to engage and Bens’ inclination to withdraw. Strategies such as using the trust tree and taking time to self-regulate outside or in the quiet corner, coloured cups to display moods or a sense of urgency, social stories/scripts to assist with difficult and new situations, labelled praise and positive reinforcement or extrinsic motivation, extension activities of interest, ignoring minor inappropriate behaviours and redirecting when possible are used to help manage these behaviours (See lesson plan and Appendix A and B).
Introduction Caretta caretta, otherwise known as the Loggerhead Sea Turtle, is an oceanic turtle that exist throughout the globe. They are circumtropical species (LeBlanc et al. 2014) meaning they are distributed throughout temperate and tropical ocean regions, but most abundant species are found in the United States coastal range. Loggerheads largest nesting aggregations in the Atlantic are found along the southeastern United States coastal range where about 80% of all nesting occurs and 90% of all hatchlings are produced (Abecassis et al. 2013).

...ht slowly, and patiently, allowing extra time if needed. These students need constant encouragement and positive feedback due to their anxiety. When working with them, encourage thinking skills and help them take in the information visually by doing activities. These activities include categorizing, comparing and contrasting, observing, identifying patterns, cause and effect, problem solving, and using fact and opinion. Teachers should determine whether or not the child can understand by what they do rather than what she says. Teachers should be clear and specific about what they expect from the student. In the social aspect, the teachers can help the child recognize, understand, and use nonverbal communication. They can also help them become aware of perceptions and how others may perceive things different, which causes them to respond differently (Hamilton).
Before the session I will adapt a positive mind-set which consists of believing in her capabilities when it comes to problem solving (Axline, 2013: 23-35). She will not be able to learn and grow if I do not provide her with the opportunity to solve the problem by herself. I will depend on her to find her own solutions. It is my work to help her grow throughout the therapy and this can only be achieved if she does things by herself. Through using
Behavior Modification and it Application to a Variety of Behaviors Within in an Educational Setting
This was met with the positive reinforcement of positive speaking and pats on the back. After forty hours a week of this treatment for two years while the other group got 10 hours a week for two years. The group that got the 40 hours had an amazing performance increase of 20 IQ point as compared to the group that received ten hours of treatment a week. In this behavior treatment method in modern day, the person is brought into a clinician and using a lot of operant methods is taught the difference between good behavior, unique behaviors that the individual is not repeating or doing on a schedule, from the bad behavior, the repetitive behaviors that have burdened the life of the individual or impair the individual from learning or interacting with another individual. This treatment is not only for the individual with the disorder but at the same time the family and friends of the person with disorder are also brought in to help with the treatment and given counseling in order to help the immediate family with challenges they may be facing when dealing with this individual. This way of treatment shows a great deal of success because it is a very invasive way of treat that requires the
An example of what a certified therapist might do at the beginning of a therapy session is place the horse in the middle of a big circle and ask the student to move the horse to the outside of the circle without touching the horse. This therapy teaches the children that when other people want to help the way they help isn’t by screaming or forcing but by being patient and understanding what they want. Another lesson they go through is trying to the lead the horse. The kids have to learn that in order to lead they can’t be ahead and force the horse to
