Welcome to BAIT Debate, a podcast where we will address simple research-based behavioral practices that will work with individual students, or groups of students in school settings. The situations/questions will be adapted from what we are seeing and hearing in schools. These are common struggles with students of all abilities. Although they are simple strategies, they will be effective at decreasing challenging behavior and making your day just a little easier
