Tailoring Effective Behavior Management Strategies for Speech-Language Pathologists
Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v52 n1 p260-272 Jan 2021
Purpose: Many speech-language pathologists (SLPs) experience challenging behaviors during service delivery and also report minimal training in effective behavior management strategies. The purpose of this tutorial is to present low-effort behavior management strategies that SLPs can adopt, adapt, and implement. Method: After providing an overall rationale for effective behavior management strategies, we present two evidence-based behavior management strategies aimed at improving positive behavior and engagement. We provide descriptions, steps, and applied examples for implementing visual activity schedules and behavior-specific praise. We include three implementation scenarios and resources for SLPs to access specifically tailored to speech-language pathology practice. Conclusions: Visual activity schedules and behavior-specific praise are two flexible behavior management strategies that can be collaboratively created by SLPs and educators and implemented during a variety of instructional arrangements during speech and language therapy. Implementing evidence-based behavior management strategies may improve students' engagement and achievement in speech and language-focused outcomes.
