| Troubleshooting |
If student behavior has not improved since implementing the intervention, try troubleshooting using the following steps. |
What to check |
What to do |
1. Is my student refusing to self-monitor? Does the student become non-compliant when asked to self-monitor? |
Assess whether the student understands the procedures and has the ability to do it independently. If the student understands the procedures but still refuses to do it, it is likely that there is something about the intervention that is aversive to the student. Try to determine what about the intervention the student does not like and change it. Incorporating personal interests or student suggestions is a good way to do this. |
2. Is my student self- monitoring correctly? Be sure that the student is using the procedures as you intended and that he or she is using it consistently. |
It may be necessary to re-train the student on the use of the intervention if they are using it incorrectly. Re-implement the intervention using corrected or consistent procedures. |
3. Is my student cheating? Is the student marking behavior as good when it wasn't? |
|
3. Is my student improving? Are behaviors improving? |
Possibility 1: The student may need more time in order for the self-management procedures to work. Possibility 2: Some students like some interventions better than others. It is possible that the student may not like to monitor his own behavior; in that case, another intervention should be considered. |
