ABSTRACT
Chapter 4 will introduce the functions of behaviors, provide the reader with definitions of key concepts needed to change behavior, and overview the antecedents, behavior, and consequence continuum (i.e., the ABCs of behavior or three-term contingency) that is required for behavior change. At the end of the chapter, the reader will understand the ABCs of behavior and will know how to intervene at each level to effectively alter behavior. A list of interventions based on function will be provided along with strategies for data collection, creating behavior intervention plans, and troubleshooting when things do not go as planned.
