ABSTRACT
This chapter provides the essentials for setting up an environment that encourages appropriate behavior and reduces the potential for challenging behaviors. Strategies that focus on arranging the environment to promote learning and avoid difficulties are described. Some of these strategies include incorporating student preferences and arranging the daily schedule to match the needs of students. In addition, methods are described for how to optimize daily activities to specifically introduce opportunities for children to practice new skills and learn new behaviors.
