Tangible

Access to tangibles is:  the student’s desire to obtain access to a specific item or activity.  

It is likely that your student is attempting to gain obtain access to preferred tangibles if he/she:

• Does not accept “no” and instead displays a problem behavior
• Displays a problem behavior when requested to transition from one activity to the next
• Displays a problem behavior when unable to obtain desired item or participate in an activity similar to that of another peer.
• Takes items from others that do not belong to the student.
