Sensory issues can often be confused with behavior issues. Behavior issues often come from difficulty with communication.
Examples of behaviors are noncompliance, aggression, escaping and self abuse. How you handle a problem behavior, behavior
management is critical. You have to decide whether you ignore it, have the child go to a 'thinking' area, go for a walk, remove
all the other children from the area, etc. Along with addressing problem behaviors you have to reward wanted/positive behaviors.
