Before disciplining a child with a disability, ask THIS question!
Karen challenges parents and educators to consider whether a student truly understands the consequence being given.
Will a suspension or timeout help the child learn a better response? Or are we simply punishing behavior without addressing the underlying need?
Discipline should consider the child's developmental abilities, disability-related needs, and the function of the behavior.
The goal isn't just to STOP a behavior. It's to TEACH the skills a child needs to succeed!
