Explain the strategies you would use to reduce the biting and promote more appropriate interactions with peers
What will be an ideal response?
Factors should include assessing her language and cognitive development, asking the family if she bites at home or other settings, watch to see if the biting occurs at specific times of the day such as transitions or unstructured play time, watch to see if she bites only certain people, observe the level of sensory stimulation Mollie is experiencing, and notice her capacity for emotional regulation. Strategies can include improving her ability to use words or signs to express her needs, having her dress the wound and regard the emotion of the victim, reduce the level of stimulation such as lowering the volume and keeping peers out of her immediate space, provide support before and during transitions, give her words to express emotions, and reading books about biting.
