DR. SHEILA WAGNER: POSITIVE BEHAVIOR PLANS: EXAMPLES OF SUCCESSFUL PLANS
Dr. Sheila Wagner is a renowned expert in the field of behavior analysis, particularly known for her work in developing and implementing positive behavior support plans. Positive Behavior Plans (PBPs) are structured strategies designed to encourage desirable behaviors while reducing challenging or disruptive ones. Dr. Wagner emphasizes the importance of individualized support plans tailored to the unique needs of each person, whether in educational settings, clinical environments, or home-based interventions.
Positive Behavior Plans focus on understanding the underlying causes of behavior and teaching new skills that serve the same function as the challenging behaviors, thereby promoting long-term success and improved quality of life.
Key Elements of Successful Positive Behavior Plans
Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA): Dr. Wagner advocates for conducting a thorough FBA to identify the reasons behind behaviors. This step is crucial because understanding the function of a behavior enables the development of effective interventions.
Clear and Achievable Goals: Setting specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals helps ensure that progress can be monitored and celebrated.
Teaching Alternative Behaviors: Instead of simply trying to stop unwanted behaviors, successful plans include teaching socially appropriate behaviors that fulfill the same needs.
Consistent Reinforcement: Reinforcement should be positive, consistent, and meaningful to the individual. This strengthens desirable behavior patterns.
Collaboration and Communication: Dr. Wagner underscores the importance of involving all stakeholders—teachers, caregivers, therapists, and the individual—in the planning and implementation process.
Regular Monitoring and Adjustments: Behavior plans should include strategies for ongoing data collection and regular review sessions to adapt interventions as needed.
Examples of Successful Plans
Drawing on real-world cases, Dr. Wagner showcases a number of successful positive behavior plans that have had profound impacts on individuals’ lives:
Case Study: Reducing Aggression in a School Setting
In this example, a student exhibiting aggressive behaviors was assessed through an FBA which revealed that the aggression was a way to escape difficult academic tasks. The plan included teaching the student coping strategies and communication skills to request breaks appropriately. Positive reinforcement was provided when the student used these alternative strategies, leading to a significant reduction in aggression and improved classroom engagement.
Case Study: Enhancing Social Skills in Children with Autism
This plan focused on teaching social interaction skills through modeled behaviors, role-playing, and peer-mediated techniques. The behavior plan incorporated frequent reinforcement for positive social initiations and maintenance of interactions, resulting in increased peer acceptance and communication competence.
Case Study: Managing Self-Injurious Behavior in a Clinical Context
For an individual demonstrating self-injurious behavior (SIB), Dr. Wagner highlighted the importance of identifying triggers such as sensory overload or frustration. The plan included environmental modifications, teaching coping mechanisms, and offering consistent reinforcement for alternative behaviors. Over time, the frequency of SIB decreased, enhancing the individual's safety and well-being.
Dr. Wagner’s Approach to Training and Implementation
Beyond just creating plans, Dr. Wagner stresses the significance of training caregivers and professionals in implementing these strategies effectively. She recommends ongoing coaching, modeling best practices, and creating a supportive environment where questions and feedback are encouraged. This holistic approach ensures that positive behavior plans are sustainable and adapted dynamically as individuals grow and change.
In summary, Dr. Sheila Wagner’s work illustrates that positive behavior plans are most effective when they are data-driven, individualized, and implemented collaboratively. Her documented examples provide valuable insights and practical frameworks that can be applied across a range of settings to support meaningful behavioral improvements.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
