The behavioural evaluation of challenging behaviours allows for the acquisition of information about all behaviours that limit a child, their functioning, and educational abilities. Obtaining information about the specific behaviours and accompanying environmental stimuli allows for developing a plan of action, with the aim of reducing such behaviours.
Autistic children fear any changes and rebel against them. Their dislike of change is sometimes accompanied by aggressive or autoaggressive behaviour.
Rigid behavioural patterns are a source of problems for parents and therapists, as they may often cause problems at school. Naturally, one seeks to change them; however. Perhaps in some instances, one should consider accepting the behaviours and working out a way of living with them. Sometimes, these predictable behavioural patterns, once identified, can be used to the advantage of parents and teachers.
