Research and identify at least three evidence-based behavior strategies that are functionally equivalent and that align with the student’s needs.
Use weekly resources and the What Works Clearinghouse to help identify research-based strategies.
Support your recommendations with scholarly literature.
Explain how each of these strategies will be effective for the identified behaviors in the scenario.
Summarize how the strategies might be used proactively in the future.
Reflect on why you chose these strategies and how they best meet the student’s needs.
