Challenging behavior may have many causes, but can often be a direct result of issues related to sensory impairments. In these cases, intervention should be based on strategies that take into account the effects of deafblindness on the ability of the child to gather information, understand the environment, communicate, and feel secure. Behavior is best addressed through prevention, by consistently using strategies that reduce the motivation of students to engage in problem behaviors. Instances of behavior problems can be reduced for most students with deafblindness by using effective communication and support strategies. |
