Mrs. G & Ms. Peltz ABCs of Behavior Management
Slide 2
Principles of Behavior All behaviors are learned All behaviors
can be modified Behaviors that increase in duration or frequency
are being reinforced Behaviors that decrease in duration or
frequency are not reinforced All behaviors have a purpose or serve
a function (why?) Controlling the antecedent or the event before
the behavior is the best practice in behavior management
Slide 3
Slide 4
Antecedent- the event that occurs prior to the behavior.
Behavior- any action that is observable and measurable Consequence-
the result or reaction to the behavior
Slide 5
Motions of Behavior Setting the Stage: Johan goes shopping with
mom at the store. ANTECEDENT Johan picks up a toy and puts it in
Moms shopping cart. Mom says, No toys today. BEHAVIOR Johan throws
himself to the ground and screams and kicks. CONSEQUENCE Mom
removes Johan from the store.
Slide 6
Control the Antecedent! Take a preventive and proactive
approach! If you dont take the child shopping, hes not going to
tantrum in the store. Take your child to the store but dont walk
down the toy aisle. Before you go to the store, give child rules
and set expectations of his behavior! Explain consequences of
appropriate and inappropriate behavior and FOLLOW THROUGH!! Read a
story about a character in the same scenario (Social Story
Intervention) Make the trip short. Over time, increase the duration
of the shopping trip. Direct childs attention away from toys like
giving him a special job Parents could act out the scenario, I
really want this but it cost too much money. Ask the child, what
should I do? Child reflect on what is an appropriate response.
Slide 7
Control the Antecedent! Catch the child being good! Reinforce
childs appropriate behavior by giving a powerful reinforcer like
verbal praise. Youre walking so nicely. Youre doing a good job
listening. Figure out what is really reinforcing and what works for
your child. Point out other children modeling appropriate behavior.
Point out other children who are engaging in inappropriate
behavior. Ask your child is that the right thing to do? Remind
child of the rules, expectations, and consequences throughout
shopping trip
Slide 8
Visual Supports Create First, Then chart remind child of the
reinforcer.

The 5 Functions of Behaviors 1. Tangible: wanting an item Johan
wants a toy. He kicks and screams. 2. Escape: wanting to avoid or
escape a task Johans mom wants him to clean up. He runs away. 3.
Attention: seeking recognition Johans mom is busy talking on the
phone. Johans angrily yells at his mom to play with him. 4.
Sensory: self-stimulation of the body Johan and his mom go on a
walk. Johan flaps his arms. 5. Medical: illness or underlying pains
Johan has an ear infection. Johan cries.
Slide 14
Whats the function of the behavior? Tangible, Escape,
Attention, Sensory, Medical? Johan hears the ice cream truck. Johan
screams at his mom. Give me ice cream! Johans mom is busy changing
the babys diaper. Johan throws toys at the wall. Johan says, I feel
hot. Johan goes to the carpet and lies down. Johans mom is
preparing a bath. Johan hides under his bed. Johan is in the
bathroom splashing water in the sink for 10 minutes.
Slide 15
How to Modify Behavior? Know the function, know how to address
the behavior!
Slide 16
Scenario 1: Tangible Mom denies him access to the toy
(tangible). The tantrum behavior is NOT Reinforced when mom removes
Johan from the store. The purpose or function of the behavior is
unfulfilled. Therefore, future occurrences of Johans tantrum
behavior will DECREASE. This will be difficult for Johan and mom at
first because Johan always gets what he wants. Johan will cry and
scream for 30 minutes. Once Johan is done crying and screaming,
reinforce Johans calm behavior through verbal praise, then calmly
explain to Johan how to appropriately behave and that we will try
again. Reward Johan with a toy ONLY if he earns it by meeting a
goal or expectation you set. ALWAYS reinforce APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR!
Antecedent Mom says, No Toys. when Johan puts a toy in the shopping
cart. Behavior Johans throws himself on the floor and screams and
kicks. Consequence Johans mom removes him from the store.
Slide 17
Scenario 2: Tangible Mom gives him access to the toy
(tangible). The tantrum behavior is being reinforced when mom gives
the item. The purpose of the behavior is being fulfilled.
Therefore, future occurrences of Johans tantrum behavior will
INCREASE. Antecedent Mom says, No Toys. when Johan puts a toy in
the shopping cart. Behavior Johans throws himself on the floor and
screams and kicks. Consequence Johans mom buys him the toy.
Slide 18
With reinforcement, Behaviors increase. With no reinforcement,
Behaviors decrease.
Slide 19
ESCAPE Mom gives Johan attention by bringing him back to clean
when he runs away (escape). The escape behavior is NOT being
reinforced when mom brings him back to clean up the toys. The
purpose of the behavior is unfulfilled. Therefore future
occurrences of Johans escape behavior will DECREASE. Antecedent Mom
wants Johan to clean up his toys Behavior Johans runs away from his
mom. Consequence Mom brings Johan back to his toys to clean up
Slide 20
ATTENTION Mom ignores Johan by continuing to talk on the phone
when he is angrily yelling at her to play (Attention). The yelling
behavior is NOT being reinforced with mom ignoring Johan. The
purpose of the behavior is unfulfilled. Therefore future
occurrences of Johans yelling behavior will DECREASE. Antecedent
Mom is busy talking on the phone. Behavior Johans angrily yells at
his mom to play with him. Consequence Mom continues to talk on the
phone.
Slide 21
SENSORY Mom redirects Johan by having him use a Competing
Behavior when Johan flaps his arms (Sensory). Antecedent Mom and
Johan go for a walk. Behavior Johans flaps his arms. Consequence
Mom redirects him to put his hands in his pocket.
