The direct application of learning principles and positive and negative reinforcements in order to modify the undesirable behavior.
Before starting to modify any behavior, a practical analysis and a comprehensive study of the conditions leading to the occurrence of the behavior must be carried out. We must believe that the mentally disabled person is a person with individual qualities of advantages, disadvantages and needs. He has the right to hate, love, choose and reject, and that our sincere belief in his abilities and his right to a better life helps us a lot. in achieving our goals.
Behavior modification does not depend on medication because it does not solve the problem, nor does it limit movement because it will create aggression in the child, nor does it rely on calling someone who has the ability to control the situation, such as the father or the manager, and insulting also does not lead to any results.
In any behavior modification plan, we must rely on parents and their active participation.
We should reduce our interest in the child by his abnormal behavior as long as this disregard does not endanger the child and we try to put positive behavior in its place.
