Severe Behavior Problems
A Functional Communication Training Approach
V. Mark Durand
Functional Communication Training involves teaching children how to communicate those
basic wants and needs that they now express through problem behavior. This book provides
the practitioner with step-by-step instructions for implementing this effective approach.
A variety of assessment strategies are reviewed and described to assist in determining
appropriate interventions. Numerous case examples throughout illuminate both the
assessment and intervention strategies.
This uniquely practical resource and text focuses on how teachers and school practitioners
can improve the academic skills, attitudes, and coping abilities of students with behavior
and adjustment problems. Presented are findings from the Classroom Strategy Study, which
identifies widely used classroom management strategies that work--and those that don't
work--for addressing a wide range of specific challenges in the elementary and middle
grades. Integrating his own research with the relevant developmental and educational
psychology literature, Jere Brophy provides detailed guidance for meeting the needs of
individual students while maintaining an effective, supportive learning environment for
the whole class.
