Antecedent Interventions - Training Objectives

  • Understand the importance of proactive procedures/antecedent manipulations
  • Identify and recognize the definition of Discriminative Stimuli (SD)
  • Identify situations where a particular SD may or may not be under stimulus control
  • Identify setting events
  • Identify antecedent interventions of escape maintained behavior (e.g. Visual supports, FCT, Social Stories, Systematic Desensitization/exposure therapy, stimulus demand fading, pairing, errorless teaching)
  • Identify antecedent interventions of attention maintained behaviors (e.g. differential reinforcement, replacement behaviors, video modeling)
  • Identify antecedent interventions for gaining access to items/activities (e.g. Visual Supports, Wait Program, Transition Program)
  • Identify antecedent interventions for automatically reinforced behaviors (e.g. Activity schedules, replacement behaviors)
