Behavior Basics: What is "behavior" and how do we change it?

Overview of ABA basics: defining measurable behavior, tracking data, and using ABC (antecedent-behavior-consequence) to guide interventions.
About this Event

This training introduces the foundations of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in a way that is clear, practical, and accessible for clinicians, parents, and school teams alike. It highlights how to define behavior using observable, measurable, and objective terms to ensure consistency and reduce bias across all caregivers. Participants learn the importance of tracking behavior through various data collection methods to identify patterns and make informed decisions. The training also breaks down the ABCs of behavior—antecedents, behaviors, and consequences—helping teams better understand why behaviors occur and how to respond effectively. Overall, it provides a supportive, team-based approach to improving outcomes for learners across settings.
