Behind Every Behavior with Jessica Minahan

from The SENIA Happy Hour Podcast Hosted by Lori Boll

I’m uber excited about today’s guest Jessica Minahan. Jessica is a special educator, Behavior Analyst, and author from Boston, Massachusetts. As educators, parents, and professionals, we seem to always wonder why kids do what they do; behavior-wise. Jessica breaks this down for us. We discuss certain behaviors and how anxiety, underdeveloped executive functioning skills, and everyday school factors can contribute to some of their challenging behaviors. Jessica also provides us with some strategies to try immediately and explains why some strategies that we all frequently use don’t actually work. I walked away from our conversation with some concrete things to try and a desire to pick up her book The Behavior Code: A Practical Guide to Understanding and Teaching the Most Challenging Students to learn even more.
