When the behavior is maintained by external stimuli from another individual in their environment

Common examples are first/then boards, visual schedules, token boards, or textual prompts.

This occurs when the rate of responding for a behavior increases after the contingency between behavior and consequence is discontinued

The data collected on a response prior to intervention.

The process of providing reinforcement for a behavior that cannot occur simultaneously as a behavior targeted for reduction.

When different conditions that mirror different antecedents and consequences are experimentally tested to determine what could be evoking and maintaining a behavior

Common examples are using countdowns or warnings, timers, or first/then language.

A stimulus that is presented after a behavior response occurs that results in the rate of responding decreasing over time.

This is known as the length of time from stimulus to response.

The process where an appropriate communicative behavior is taught as a replacement behavior for problem behavior.

When a behavior response is maintained by access to items/materials/or activities.

These are interventions that are put into place throughout the entire or majority of a client's session in order to decrease the likelihood of behaviors from occurring.

A process where a behavior that was previously reinforced no longer contacts the reinforcer.

Measurement of the occurrence of a behavior during specified time intervals. Examples include momentary time sampling, partial and whole interval recording.

This is a response that occurs when a client is told "no" or "not available" and typically consists of the client maintaining a calm body and responding "okay" either using vocal or gesture communication.

When a behavior response is maintained by the delay or complete removal of an aversive or non-preferred stimulus.

Procedure where you present multiple options for a client to decide between. This can include reinforcers, tasks, or order of task completion.

A stimulus that is presented after a behavior response occurs that results in the rate of responding increasing over time.

Measurement of the length of time between the onset and offset of a behavior.

The process of providing reinforcement for the ABSENCE of a particular response over a period of time.

When a behavior is maintained by operant mechanisms independent of the social environment.

The physical manipulation of things in a client's environment to promote safety or reduce the likelihood of behaviors from occurring.

A safety-care procedure that is an acronym for "why am I talking" and is used once attempting to help or prompt the child is not effective in de-escalating a behavior.

The process of recording the length of time between two separate responses.

The process of providing reinforcement for either increasing or decreasing rates of a particular response.
