That's what she said
A consequence is..
anything that happens immediatly after the behavior.
What does B stand for in "ABC" data
Behavior
How do you know the function is access to a tangible
What is a good indicator that the function is attention
There was no attention before the behavior and attention was given after the behavior.
An Antecedent is..
What is happening right before the behavior okurrs.
Whats the function:
No one is talking to Alyysa, she walks into the room and makes a joke, everyone (fake) laughs because she isn't funny.
What is attention
Name the function:
Melody ask's Chelsea to do a Jeopardy game, Chelsea run's to her office and locks the door (never to be seen again).
Escape
How should a behavior be defined
Specifc, Observable and measurable
Why do we collect ABC data
To get an understanding of the function
Name the function: When he ain't calling you back
Escape/avoidance
List 3 common antecedent strategies
body positioning and environmental manipulation, offering choices, intermittent reinforcement, different teaching strategies (mix-trialing, increase pacing, behavioral momentum, etc.) quick pacing
It has to serve the same function as the challenging behavior you want to change.
The four functions of behavior are
1. Access to tangibles
2. Access to attention
3. Escape
4. Sensory/ Automatic
How do you know if the function is escape
typically the behavior occurs right after a demand
She text you at 3am
attention but we would have accepted sensory
What did Lisa say that she likes to do aggressively
Name 3 reactive strategies
Descibe the function of escape
any behavior that primarily happens to avoid, delay, or end something unpleasant. Some escape behaviors primarily function to stop a demand or task in progress
If there is no consistent or clear antecednet the most likely function
What is sensory
Ways to ensure safety during a challenging behavior
increase supervision, decrease distance, consider environmental arrangements, move items out of reach,
What is Melody's Favorite Color
Lets ask her
Can a single behavior serve more than one function at a time?
You know it!!
List at least 4 general guidelines to address challenging behaviors
Utilize manding \communication for breaks, acess, or to stop something,
Tell consumer what to do, not what not to do
Use preference assessments
Engage with minimal attention
Use statements, not questions
Draw the center wide behavior flowchart...
Jk
If a demand was placed and the consumer engages in challenging behavior, what are general reactive strategies to follow
ensure safety, provide minimal attention while using a calm voice, move items out of reach, repeat the instruction, attempt to prompt, differentially reinforce
Try not over prompt, don't talk about the consumers behavior, limit direct eye contact, don't reprimand, dont hover, keep your emotions in check, dont repeat consumers name.
