5.3 Management starts with analysing problem behaviour

Analysing problem behaviour checklist

When does it occur?
Where does it occur?
Who does the behaviour occur with?
Does it start suddenly or build up gradually?
How long does it last?
What is the history of the problem?
What solutions have been tried in the past?
How are people reacting?

Other factors to consider when analysing problem behaviour

Physical factors ie: excess noise, overcrowding, appropriateness of house or room.
Are they treated with respect?
Are they part of the decision making process/do they have choices?
Are they able to communicate effectively?
Will they benefit from being taught coping skills ie: relaxation etc
