RTI: Using Metaphors to Change Behaviors
Unique early intervention strategies show how metaphors and visual cues can be used to promote a change in behavior as well as to teach students to become aware of their actions.
Participants are challenged to think creatively and will be given the tools to individualize and apply the motivating intervention strategies.
Case Study results using verbal and visual metaphorical cueing strategies show positive outcomes for 80% of the behavior referrals. Of particular interest is the success evidenced in students exhibiting ADHD-type behaviors. Data shows a reduction in adverse behaviors, a reduction in special education referrals, as well as improvement in peer relationships and academic achievement. The case study results yield interesting and positive outcomes.
The program implementation process is outlined and provides an option to those in the field who work with “intense” students. Parents, teachers, social workers, and mental health professionals benefit from this course.
