I read the behaviour blog, written as part of a Special Ed assignment and thought the content looked interesting, so I've added it as a link on the lhs sidebar.
In particular, I was taken by this post looking at consequence behaviour programmes
"For rewards and consequences to work, children must recall what has happened to them in various situations and use that knowledge to alter their behaviour when the situation reoccurs.
They have to decide if their choices were successful. Did they take the rights and needs of others into account? Would they do the same thing again or choose a different course of action?
Clearly, children with learning disabilities or intellectual impairments would be hard pressed to respond appropriately."
And there are many really important points raised that compliance and consequence-based BM policies don't take into account
