Behavior Methodology

One common tool for conducting an FBA:

ABC Chart (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence): This simple tool helps track:

o Antecedent: What happens right before the behavior

o Behavior: The specific behavior that occurs

o Consequence: What happens immediately after the behavior

Example:

· A: Teacher gives a difficult math problem

· B: Student throws pencil

· C: Teacher removes the assignment

Behavior Intervention Strategies

1. Positive Reinforcement – Rewarding good behavior to encourage it.
Example: Praise, stickers, or extra playtime.

2. Visual Supports – Using pictures or charts to show expectations.
Example: A visual schedule for classroom activities.

3. Task Modification – Breaking tasks into smaller, manageable steps.
Example: Shorter worksheets with breaks in between.

4. Functional Communication Training – Teaching alternative ways to get needs met.
Example: Using a picture card to request a break instead of acting out.

5. Token Economy / Behavior Chart – Earning points or tokens for positive behavior.
Example: Trade tokens for a small reward.

6. Environmental Modifications – Adjusting the classroom to prevent triggers.
Example: A quiet corner for students who get overwhelmed.

Evidence-Based Practices for Academics

Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) are teaching strategies proven by research to help students learn effectively. They are tailored to each student’s needs and monitored for progress.

Examples of Academic EBPs:

· Explicit Instruction: Step-by-step teaching of skills.

· Direct Instruction: Structured lessons with practice and feedback.

· Systematic Phonics: Teaching letter-sound relationships in reading.

· Graphic Organizers: Visual tools to organize information.

· Modeling & Guided Practice: Teacher demonstrates, then guides student practice.
