Non-compliance is a maladaptive behavior that is defined by a child failing or refusing to start or complete a task or follow an instruction. The purpose of the behavior typically is to avoid a non-preferred demand, instruction, or activity (escape). However, it may also have a function of sensory, attention, and/or tangible.

In this lesson, strategies to address and resolve non-compliance are discussed.
