Behavior Observation

I would start to gather more information from Sally’s teachers. Have her teachers, or myself, conduct an A-B-C chart, or other form of recording, to determine that the function of Sally’s behavior is regarding ‘protecting’ her brother, Tom. Additionally, I would conduct a student interview with Sally.
Information that I need includes antecedents that are causing the behaviors, locations that she is engaging in fights with kids, actions that she determines are ‘making fun of Tom’. Additionally, it should be looked into how long Sally negatively engages with her peers (both in regards to this behavior as well as others), and a possible function of her behavior.

Thank you for expressing your concern about Sally to me. With your permission, to look into this matter further, I am willing and able to explore your concerns further by conducting observation time in Sally’s classrooms, discussing Sally’s behavior with her teachers, and by personally interviewing Sally (just asking a few questions regarding her behavior).

d) Possible community, state, or personal care options for Tom. I would suggest this as a discuss topic to review options for offering Mom and Dad, one on one time, with Sally.
e) State Summer Camp options (i.e. Wisconsin Lions Camp) for Tom to attend. This would offer a positive experience for Tom, as well as offer some Mom and Dad time to Sally. Would have to discuss options including cost, area, camp requirements, etc. based on the
