SOLVE THE WHY CHART: A neurodiversity-affirming way of identifying and documenting what is causing challenging behavior, tantrums, or meltdowns
What are ABC charts? (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence)
Ever wonder why a child has suddenly become so angry? Or is struggling with challenging behavior? An ABC helps you keep a record of these moments, uncover the triggers, figure out why they are becoming so upset and how to best support them.
Concerns about ABC charts:
However, recently, the neurodiversity movement has raised some concerns about these charts and whether they are overly focused on neurotypical expectations and interpretations of behavior. Our Solve the WHY chart, addresses these concerns and provides a neurodiversity-affirming alternative for supporting children.
It is also useful for gathering evidence for school inspections, writing IEPs, developing behavior support plans, SNA applications and applications for more resources and support within your school.
