Signal Filter Pro: Behavioral Skill-Building
ODD-Safe Strategy
Avoid Power Struggles: Frame cursing not as a "moral failure" but as a "low-tier strategy" that blocks them from getting what they want.Collaborative Tone: Use "we" and "us." Treat the social filter as a skill to be mastered, like a difficult game mechanic.Choice-Based: Provide options for replacement words. Forcing a specific word may trigger defiance.
Pre-Game (Prep)
Students with ADHD/ODD often curse due to impulse control glitches or as a defensive shield . Focus on "social strategy" rather than "rules." Use the arcade theme to keep the mood high-performance.
Objectives
Identify 3 "Verbal Glitch" triggers.
Select 5 "Power-Up" replacement phrases.
Practice "Signal Filtering" in role-play.
