How to Address Perseveration [From the A...

Christine Reeve, Special Education Support
About this episode

This episode was pulled from our Special Educator Academy (SEA) Show, one of 2 of the members-only podcasts that are part of the membership.  I hope you enjoy a taste from SEA.

Perseveration is when someone gets stuck on a topic, a phrase, or an object and can’t move on to other things. This episode will talk about how to address different types of perseveration based on the potential function. I’ll talk about why perseveration happens and what it might look like as well as how to reduce it. Sometimes we can set limits, sometimes we need to address an underlying anxiety, but we always need to make sure we are addressing the function of the perseveration.
