| DBR as a communication device helps to
share information among those key persons in a child's
life (e.g. teacher-child, home-school,
teacher-teacher). |
How can I use a DBR in
communication?
It can be easy, once procedures for completing DBR have
been put in place (see DBR in Assessment).
- Select relevant target behaviors, and then when
and how ratings will be completed.
- Determine with whom information will be shared,
which might include parent(s), teacher, child,
and/or counselor.
- Establish how often information will be shared,
which might be daily or weekly.
- Decide if you want to simply provide the
information (school-home) or if you want to
establish a communication loop
(school-home-school).
- Don't forget to follow-through as questions
arise!
Note. Applications of DBR for communication are often
paired with behavior support programs (see DBR
for Intervention). |
Who can use a DBR for
communication?
DBR can be used by anyone involved with the child!
Potential benefits of using DBR for communication
purposes include:
- DBR provides immediate and consistent feedback
about student behavior
- DBR fosters shared responsibility for student
welfare
- DBR helps establish shared behavior goals across
settings and persons
- Increases opportunities for positive attention
about pro-social behavior
