STOP THINK GO

 STOP THINK GO - three simple words, and if accompanied by gestures and visuals, can mean the difference between disruptive behaviours and self control.  Several methods where this social skill development tool is applied, have been tried and tested with wonderful results.  As there are a number of suggestions, it's probably a good idea to aim for consistency of approach.  If you are starting out:
1.  Discuss with parents and Early Intervention (if the child is accessing) as they may already be using one form of the technique.  Agree on the approach you're going to use for consistency, along with a review date.
2.  Consider the level of communication.  Three simple words may be a more appropriate approach than a whole social story such as Tucker Turtle - at least to start with. In this regard, you may find some children (particularly children with levels of ASD, anxiety), may need to focus predominantly on the STOP and GO with the THINK element developing in time.  Other children may be constantly on the go, and require more focus on STOP and THINK.
This article is particularly clear and easy to follow regarding why, when and how to use for behavioural management:  http://www.stopthinkdo.com/display_article.phtml?article_id=3
3.  Ensure all educators and adults are aware of the method and how best to use it.  You will find best practice instructions with most of these types of approaches easily available online or through discussions with Early Intervention. 
4.  Without even needing to specify which child in particular you are focussing on, share the technique with families and have extra visuals on hand to lend for home practice, too.
