You were contracted by a school district to evaluate and design an intervention for Kevin, a 8-year old child with challenging behavior. You conduct an assessment and identify that his challenging behavior serves a function of escape. Kevin engages in challenging behavior so he is sent home earlier and does not have to ride the school bus home. The parents express they would like for Kevin to ride the bus with other children and that presents as an important goal given that Kevin typically misses instruction time. As you prepare to implement an intervention, the principal of the school ask that you focus on some issues with his readings and disregard the bus intervention at that time. What should you do first?
