  Case: Elopement
I have one student with autism that is starting to exhibit eloping behaviors. I call the office when I see the antecedent behaviors taking place but he almost walked off campus the other day before someone was able to find him. How can I prevent him from partaking in this behavior?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
A functional assessment would help determine what he is accomplishing with this behavior. Is he getting away from something, perhaps a task or over-stimulation? Or is he going toward something, like hoping to get a favorite toy or see a favorite truck? You can not sit back and watch where he goes if it extends beyond the school or into a high traffic area, but interviewing the family and other caregivers may grant you some insight too. You will want to chart how often it happens, what the result is (if able to) and so on. This will provide valuable info to help you create a plan of action to curb the behavior.

Comments: I agree that it is highly important to try to discover why the student is doing this. Most important is the child's safety, so I would also see if a volunteer or employee could be on hand to monitor the child while we work to find out why he is wanting to leave.

Comments: I think this is an extremely helpful solution. I agree completely with her recommendations. It's not safe to allow the child to roam away from school. Monitoring the behavior and creating a chart is an excellent way to develop data on why the child is behaving this way and what can be done to prevent further incidences.

Comments: Completing a functional assessment on the student would be a great tool to utilize in this type of situation. It is also important to keep a log of how often the student leaves the classroom as well as where the student goes off to after leaving the class. If the student is willing, it would be a great idea to have a conversation with the student to discuss what may be bothering them and find out why they are walking out of class.
