Proactive and reactive strategies for dealing with difficult behavior in children with autism spectrum disorders. A case study

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a portion of therapeutic work with difficult behaviors in students with autism spectrum disorders. The author’s work in this area was inspired by several publications by authors dealing with the subject of autism, such as G. LaVigna and his Positive Behaviour Support model for children with developmental disorders, including children with autism; Z. Gruntowski and his six-step problem-solving process for dealing with difficult behaviors; H. Olechnowicz and her reflective approach to therapeutic work with individuals with autism. An important feature of this paper is that it highlights the importance of understanding the contexts in which autistic persons exhibit difficult behaviors and the feasibility of applying a positive support plan based on proactive and reactive strategies. The author of the article believes that self-reflection, continuous learning and creating functional solutions are prerequisites for anyone willing to undertake effective therapeutic work with people with autism.
