Timeout Techniques and Effective Time Out Strategies
- 2. Time out • In its purest form, the term “time out” means that a child is being removed or isolated from anyone or anything that might provide reinforcement, reward or the perception of attention. • Timeout is a behavior therapy technique for the control of problem behavior. • The technique involves removing source of reward and/or reinforcement for any behavior that is unwanted.
- 3. History • concept of time-out was invented, named, and used by Arthur staats • Also introduced various elements that later composed foundations for Applied Behavior Analysis • Staats described the discipline of his 2-year-old daughter in 1962: • "I would put her in her crib and indicate that she had to stay there until she stopped crying. If we were in a public place [where her behavior was inappropriate], I would pick her up and go outside."This has the effect of weakening the preceding behavior so that it occurs less frequently in the future.
- 4. Types Non-ExclusionaryTime-out:- The student remains in the classroom but is temporarily prevented from taking part in reinforcing activities through withdrawal of materials or attention. 1 – 5 minutes is long enough to be effective.
- 5. Exclusion :- The student is removed to another part of the room and cannot watch or take part in activities 5 minutes approximately or as per year.
- 6. Isolation/Seclusion :- The student is removed entirely from the classroom to a buddy room or a separate time-out room. An adult should always supervise. No longer than 15 minutes. Non rewarding activities Plans for exiting and returning to class.
- 7. Time-Out • Do’s: • `Give a warning before timeout is used • `Give a clear request • `Use a normal tone of voice and be respectful • `Explain your reasoning • `Have a specific place for time-out • `Usually 1 minute per 1 year of age • `Use a timer • `Have a more secluded backup area in case of refusal
- 8. Time out • Don’ts: • Don’t over-use the technique • Don’t use an excessive amount of time • Don’t forget to let the child redeem himself/herself (restitution) • Don’t add extra consequences on top of time-out
- 9. How to make the process effective? • Time-out can be a very effective behavior modification tool when it’s used appropriately… Explain the time out process to the child UseTime Out Sparingly FollowThrough withTime-Out Have a Back Up Plan FinalThoughts for example:- “If you don’t go to time out now, you’ll lose your electronics for the next 24 hours.”
- 10. What does effective time out look like? • The most effective way to use time out is utilize this technique to target a specific behavior or behaviors. • For example,: A child is disrupting your class to the point that no one is learning, speaking loudly, swearing or threatening other children. • Once we have defined the behavior or behaviors that will result in a time out, • we need to define where time out will take place, for how long and any constrictions that will result. • The child should be informed that when he or she engages in the target behavior. • he or she will be placed in time out in a small room, or a corner of a classroom, the hall, etc.The location of time out is best accessed if it is close to the classroom.
