Resources for Older Children?

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone

Does anyone know any resources (books, wesbites, etc) specifically related to

ABA with adolescents? As in about 10-18 years of age? Thanks so much for any

help!

The adolescents are in a residential treatment setting, and we are

wanting to implement ABA methodology. Not DTT, more of behavior

management, reinforcement, token systems, etc. My background is with

younger children, so I am looking to gather resources on using ABA

strategies with teenagers.

Token systems work well for teens, as well as behavior contracting. Using

behavior contracts also work well, since both parties negotiate and agree in

writing to the expectations and consequences. However, many teens with special

needs have strong " executive functioning " problems. That means that have

difficulty using forethought, are often impulsive, and often act without

thinking. They often require a lot of role playing, previewing and reviewing

the expectations and consequences. I prefer to put all contingencies into a

behavior contract, so it is literal and black and white. From there we do not

scold, counsel, or argue with the teen, just let the consequences teach the

behavior. When transgressions occur, do not get emotional, justify, or

negotiate at that time. Stay matter of fact, and let the consequence teach the

behavior.
