it’s Jessica like oh I see of hope
education services it is Friday
September 14th first off we just wanted
to give prayers to everybody on the East
Coast United States affected by the
hurricane passing through we want to let
you know as a company you are in our
thoughts and prayers we want to think I
wanted to cover this important topic
today so this has come up several times
this week
many people know if you’re on this
channel I’m going to autism behavior
expert and consultant so what I do a lot
of times is I’ll go into homes I work
with kids at and I’ll go to look at
programs other therapists but together
explain to parents and try to help
figure out what’s working what’s not
working so this came up three times this
week and that’s I’m making this Facebook
live now oftentimes therapists they tell
parents when they’re using extinction
which means in an ad a terms you’re not
letting it behavior work essentially to
ignore the child or use planned ignoring
so I wanted to discuss a little bit
about what planned ignoring is and why
when you’re using planned ignoring
you’re not actually ignoring your child
so in a VA what we have we have a
procedure called extinction so what that
means is that when it you don’t let a
behavior that you don’t want to see
happen again achieve its function so in
a VA anytime a behavior occurs if it’s
reinforced it’s more likely to occur
again so the opposite of being
reinforced is not actually to be
punished it’s to be extinguished which
means to not be reinforced so that may
be really confusing here’s an example so
let’s say that you are on the phone with
your child and your child is like mommy
mommy mom even pulling out your leg and
you turn around they’re like what you’re
reinforcing that that behavior right
they they got your attention by saying
mommy mommy it worked right so let’s
give another example let’s say your
child wants a cookie and they’re sitting
at the bottom of the refrigerator and
they’re screaming yeah and you give them
a cookie then automatically that
behavior was reinforced so they’re more
likely to scream at the refrigerator
again the next time they want to cook it
so what do you do to avoid that well you
would do something called extinction
so extinction means you essentially
don’t give them the cookie or you don’t
give them attention
now in a VA the way we figure out what
extinction looks like the way we figured
out what it looks like to not reinforce
it behavior it depends on what that
behavior is functioning so why is the
child engaging in the behavior in the
first example I gave when your child is
tugging and pulling at you and screaming
mommy when you’re on their phone they’re
engaging on the behavior because they
want your attention so the way that you
would not give them a not reinforce the
behavior would be to not attend to them
to not give them attention as a result
of that behavior so that’s what
extinction looks like and that’s where
extinction that’s where planned ignoring
comes in the idea that you already know
your child may engage in a behavior that
you don’t want to see and that you’re
choosing ahead of time that you’re going
to ignore that behavior when it occurs
now ignoring a behavior is not the same
thing as ignoring a child ignoring a
behavior simply lets a child know this
is not a way to communicate with me so
let’s say you know your child is having
a tantrum and you know your therapists
are telling you ignore it when they’re
having a tantrum you’re not ignoring the
child or they’re having a tantrum
oftentimes when a child is engaging a
tantrum they’re engaging in unsafe
behaviors either they’re banging their
head maybe they’re throwing things
they’re gonna break something a lot of
times they’re hitting the parents so I
see too often times when I saw this
twice this week where the the therapist
told the parents okay you ignore your
child when they’re engaging in a tantrum
or engaging in aggression ignore them
ignore the child so the the child is
like hitting them and the parents are
letting them hit em and I’m saying like
why are you letting your child hits you
and they’re like oh we’re using fun
ignoring it’s on the extinction it’s not
really what it needs so what it means is
you’re not allowing the behavior to be a
form of communication so the child
doesn’t continue to engage in that
behavior over and over and over but you
do still pay attention to your child so
when you’re here extinction when you
hear planned ignoring and I know I’m
using them kind of interchangeably and
they often are introduced
interchangeably but when you’re ignoring
a behavior do not ignore your child look
at plan ignoring is you’re ignoring the
behavior not the child so but if your
child is banging your hands parents or
self Sam well I can’t ignore the tantrum
because they’re banging their head on
the floor of course you don’t ignore the
fact that your child is is banging their
head on
flora and that would be ridiculous you
have to make sure that they’re safe you
know it might look like putting them on
the couch or putting a pillow behind
them so if they’re hitting their hat
they’re hitting it on the pillow when
they’re not going to hurt themselves the
idea is that you’re not going to give
your child the reach of what they’re
crying about so they were crying because
they wanted you know access to their
iPad and they’re banging their head on
the iPad plan ignoring extinction means
you’re waiting until they calm down from
crying to give them the iPad and having
them ask in a more appropriate way maybe
it’s pointing to it it doesn’t mean that
you’re ignoring them banging their head
on the floor or when they could
potentially hurting you it doesn’t mean
if your child’s hitting you that you’re
just gonna let them hit you because
you’re ignoring the beat you’re gonna
get up and maybe just walk away so you
do want to be really careful when you’re
when a child is engaging in a tantrum
and you are intervening with it
especially if it’s a attention-seeking
behavior you want to avoid giving the
child unnecessary attention now there’s
ways you can do that number one is to
make sure that any prompts that are
occurring so let’s say you have you’re
working with a child say there are three
years old and they’re banging their head
on the floor you need to keep them safe
you want to actually be behind them so
they can’t see you and they can’t see
your reaction that’s one way to be
really effective in dealing with making
sure you’re not of winning a necessary
attention the other thing you would want
to do is limit your talking so the more
talking that you’re doing the more
you’re engaging with your child and
we’re interacting with your child the
more that you’re going to be reinforcing
that behavior and providing them
attention for it so again the whole
purpose of this it really comes down to
it’s not a punishment procedure it comes
down to making sure behavior doesn’t
achieve its function that making sure
doesn’t work the child has to know this
is not a form of communication so if
you’re saying no that’s not nice not
nice don’t do that
no Charlie get up come on stand up calm
down it’s okay if you’re saying that
over and over and over and over you’re
communicating with the child what you’re
actually teaching them is this isn’t a
form of communication so that’s where
the idea of plan ignoring comes in that
you’re limiting your interactions you’re
limiting your facial expressions you’re
limiting your consequences and
essentially you’re really just waiting
it out waiting until they calm down and
then you would you know redirect that we
called redirection or DRI
reinforcement of an incompatible
behavior which me then you would tell
them to do the behavior that you want
them to do so let’s say they were crying
and tantrum a because they wanted that I
had you wait for them to calm down make
sure they’re safe make sure they’re not
breaking anything you’re kidding you
once they calm down then you’d ask them
you know if their vocal you can tell
them to stay iPod and then look you’ll
give it to them or you know you’ll have
them point to it if you’re not vocal so
that I hope that helps to answer your
question and clip any confusion around
you know what extinction is and what
planned ignoring is and you know why
you’re not actually ignoring your child
and I hope that makes it a little bit
easier for you to use as a parent you
know no one’s asking you to watch your
child hurt themselves in to not
intervene so I really really really hope
that was helpful if you found this video
helpful I would just love for you to

maybe something I said today is
confusing maybe there’s another
procedure your therapist asked you to do
with it you’re a little bit confused
about write that question as a comment
to this video and I will respond to it
