Instruction

A first/then visual support is an effective strategy used to help students understand and follow a sequence of activities.

This form can be used to break down the steps of an activity and indicate the support the student required for each step.

Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence (A-B-C) data collection serves to identify the antecedents (A) that set the stage for or trigger problem behavior (B) to occur and the consequences (C) that appear to maintain that behavior. Typically, this data is collected over multiple sessions and is used to identify patterns and functions of behavior.

In this video, we see a student use his communication device to request his chosen reinforcer once he has completed a task.

For longer activities, earned tokens can provide a tangible representation of completing smaller components within the task. The tokens are often traded for a larger reinforcer at the completion of the task.

In this video, Ayo Jones discusses how academic rigor is connected to the concept of least dangerous assumption.
