Behavior Intervention Plans

Antecedents

100

What is an antecedent? 

Anything that precedes a behavior of interest 

200

What is an antecedent intervention? 

Interventions/strategies to modify the environment/events to lessen chances of challenging behaviors from happening 

300

What is an antecedent intervention that can be implemented if your kiddo runs into the parking lot? 

Hand holding, technician walks on the outside of the sidewalk, prompting communication for running, using a wagon to transition, and more! 

400

What type of antecedent intervention is working on teaching communication to your kiddo based on the function of behavior?

Functional Communication Training 

500

Where do you find the antecedent interventions for your clients' targeted behaviors? 

In their central reach session - open targeted behavior - scroll down to the BIP and identify section with "antecedent interventions" 

Consequences

100

What is a consequence?

Anything that occurs right after a behavior of interest

200

What is a consequence intervention? 

Strategies or interventions implemented after a challenging behavior occurs to treat the behavior for decrease 

300

Identify the consequence in this scenario ->
A child is running around the gym and falls down, everyone continues to play around them so they get up and play too

everyone continues to play and child gets up to join play too

400

This consequence differential reinforcement procedure involves reinforcing the ABSENCE of a targeted behavior 

Differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO)

500

Identify what DRI, DRA, DRO and DRL stand for 

Diff. reinforcement of incompatible

Diff. reinforcement of alternative

Diff. reinforcement of other 

Diff. reinforcement of lower rates 

Functions/Replacement Behaviors

100

What are the four functions of behavior?

Sensory/Automatic, Escape, Attention, Access/Tangible 

200

What function is demonstrated if a child is repetitively running back and forth and they do not care if the technician is with them in the room or not? 

Sensory/Automatic 

300

What is a replacement behavior?

A behavior that is being taught/reinforced instead of the challenging behavior 

400

What does the replacement behavior TYPICALLY have to have that is the same as the challenging behavior? 

The same function 

500

What is a potential replacement behavior for a child that is repetitively pushing/rubbing their head against walls or the ground to seek sensory input? 

Teach kiddo to ask for head rubs/head scratches, teach kiddo to ask for an item such as a head scratcher to use

General BIP questions

100

What is the 3-term contingency?

Antecedent - behavior - consequence 

200

what is planned ignoring and when is it used ?

Planned ignoring is a behavior strategy where you intentionally withhold attention (eye contact, verbal responses, facial expressions, physical interaction) following a behavior that is maintained by attention.

• Neutral face and body language
• No talking, eye contact, or reactions
• Continue with task or attend to others
• Resume attention only when appropriate behavior occurs 

 

300

what are the different type of preference assessments ? Explain each one

 Free Operant

• Client freely interacts with multiple items
• Measure: duration/frequency of engagement
• ✔ Natural, no demands
• ✖ No clear ranking of preferences

•  Single Stimulus (SS)

• One item presented at a time (accept/reject)
• ✔ Good for early learners or limited choice skills
• ✖ Time-consuming, weak hierarchy

 Paired Stimulus (PS)

• Two items presented → client chooses one
• Each item paired with all others
• ✔ Highly reliable, strong preference hierarchy
• ✖ Time-intensive

Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement (MSWO)

• Array of items → select one → remove → repeat
• ✔ Efficient, clear ranking
• ✖ Requires scanning/discrimination

 Multiple Stimulus With Replacement (MSW)

• Same as MSWO, but item is returned after selection
• ✔ Identifies highly preferred items
• ✖ Less clear hierarchy

400

Does a preference assessment result mean that the item is the reinforcer ? whats next ?

NO,

Reinforcer Assessment (Follow-Up)

Tests whether a preferred item actually increases a target behavior when delivered contingent on that behavior.

⚠ Preference ≠ Reinforcer — just because a client likes something does not mean it will function as a reinforcer.

EX: 

Client rarely follows directions → test with bubbles

• Trial 1: “Clap hands” → bubbles → compliance increases
• Across trials, responding improves → ✅ bubbles = reinforcer

500

Your client is demonstrating noncompliance when given the instruction to stand up. What is the appropriate prompting sequence to use? detail

Prompting Sequence (Least → Most Intrusive)

1. Independent Opportunity (SD Only)
   • Deliver clear instruction:
     “Stand up.”
   • Wait 3–5 seconds for a response.

2. Gestural Prompt
   • Point to the chair or motion upward with your hand.
   • Repeat SD if needed:
     “Stand up.”

3. Model Prompt
   • Demonstrate the action (you stand up).
   • Pair with SD:
     “Do this — stand up.”

4. Partial Physical Prompt
   • Light touch (e.g., tap elbow, slight upward guidance).
   • Allow the client to initiate most of the movement.

5. Full Physical Prompt
   • Hand-over-hand or full assistance to guide to standing.
   • Use neutral affect (no frustration).

Misc.

100

What is extinction? and whats the risk of it ?

No longer reinforcing a behavior 

extinction burst 

200

True or False: If a behavior is escape-maintained, you should remove the demand immediately.

False

300

What is MTS and LTM prompting 

Most To Least and Least to Most

400

Why don’t we immediately jump to the most intrusive prompt? it can lead to ...

It could lead to prompt dependency and reduced independent responding.
