When working with children with special needs, it is important first to assess the child's individual needs. This can be done through various methods, including interviews, functional behavior analysis, VBMAPP, PEAK, or ABLLS. Once the child's needs have been assessed, a behavior treatment plan can be developed. This plan aims to help the child learn and practice skills that will improve their quality of life.

The behavior treatment plan may include the following goals:

  • Behavior management: This goal focuses on helping the child learn to control their behavior. This may include teaching the child how to identify and manage their emotions, follow directions, and interact appropriately with others.

  • Transitioning skills: This goal focuses on helping the child learn how to manage changes in their environment. This may include teaching the child how to handle changes in routine, deal with unexpected events, and cope with transitions from one activity to another.

  • Organizational skills: This goal focuses on helping the child learn how to keep track of their belongings and manage their time. This may include teaching the child how to sort and organize their belongings, set and keep track of goals, and manage their time effectively.

  • Assist with fine & gross motor skills: This goal focuses on helping the child develop their fine and gross motor skills. This may include teaching the child how to use their hands to complete tasks, coordinate their movements, and maintain healthy body weight.

  • Social & Life Skills: This goal focuses on helping the child develop the skills they need to interact with others and to live independently. This may include teaching the child how to make friends, follow social rules, and take care of themselves.

The behavior treatment plan should be tailored to the child's individual needs. It is essential to be patient and consistent with the child as they work to achieve their goals. With time and effort, the child can learn to manage their behavior, transition smoothly between activities, organize their belongings, and develop the skills they need to live a happy and independent life.
