Causes of Challenging Behavior

 There is always a reason or cause for challenging behavior.  A student does not just want to create a bad day for you.  We have to get to the bottom of the cause before we can develop a solid intervention for this student.

Common Reasons Behind Challenging include an inability to form positive peer relationships, negative school experiences, and stressful life events.  Students may also have sensory processing concerns that lead to over or under-stimulation.  Educators and parents should work together to develop interventions to address concerns about challenging behavior in the classroom and at home.  A consistent plan with all team members on board will have more success in the long run.
