2AntecedentAnantecedentis a stimulus that cues an organism to perform a learned behavior


3AntecedentWhat happens before the behaviour occurs?

An antecedent could be the following:A demand or a request has been madeThe student has been denied access to an object/itemThe student was alone (no peer/adult interaction)The student was engaged in a natural social situation (no demand placed)

More information does not = good information

Data does not contain assumptions, personal opinions or personal views on situations

Verbal attention given?

Physical attention given?

Ignored?

Activity/task reduced?

Activity/task taken away?

Change of location?WCDSB, HDSB & Erinoakkids
