E for Excessive Technology Use

Excessive technology use behaviour is like the tip of the iceberg. It is important to look beneath the surface to work out why the child is exhibiting the excessive technology use behaviour. Based on the evidence-based Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approach this user-friendly guide, E for Excessive technology use, will help you develop a comprehensive PBS plan step-by-step:

1. Work out why your child is using technology excessively (assess),

2. How to respond when your child engages in excessive technology use (manage), and

3. How to minimise or eliminate the occurrence of excessive technology use behaviour (prevent). Use the practical tools (forms, checklists and strategies) provided to develop PBS plans that can be used to support children of all ages consistently in all contexts. This invaluable resource is useful for parents, caregivers, educators in childcare, early childhood, primary and secondary schools, disability, mental health, allied health and supervisory professionals.
