Abstract

This chapter will review the many foundational theories that outline an historical understanding of behavior. Occupational therapy (OT) and psychology have provided a consistent framework for addressing and defining behavior. Behavior communicates self-awareness and self-management which are key competencies upon which social and emotional learning occur. Perception affects the definition and assumption of behavior, and this is affected by knowledge. Various considerations such as sensory processing, executive functioning, nervous system functions, and environmental factors affect the feedback loop that governs a child's ability to regulate. How we assess this process will determine our expectations and responses. When disciplinary programs do not address the whole child, behavior seldom improves. Embracing the big picture of behavior allows it to be viewed through a different lens to establish a supportive relationship with a student and empower them to achieve self-actualization and skills they will use for a lifetime.
