New Title on the Shelf
Supporting Positive behaviour in children and teens with
Down syndrome
The respond but don’t react method
by David
SteinPublished by Woodbine House
David Stein is a paediatric psychologist and co-director of the Down Syndrome program at Boston Children's Hospital.
The book draws on his wealth of clinical experience with young people who have Trisomy 21. Very much the compact handbook, it is a good title to share with teachers and support workers.
The behaviour management principles covered in the book:
Be proactive not reactive
Be consistent
Use visual shedules and social stories to redirect behaviour
Develop a reward system
Keep emotional reactions in check
Teach siblings to ignore certain behaviours
Know when to seek professional help
Very much the compact handbook, it is a good title to share with teachers and support workers. This is a great read and highly recommended.
