Feature ArticleWhat's the Function? |

|
Behavior prevention, choosing socially appropriate replacement behaviors, and the creation of Behavior Plans are a few reasons why it's important to identify the function of behavior. The four functions of behavior are sensory, escape/avoidance, attention and tangibles.These functions allow us to understand the motivation behind a child’s actions and behavior. Once the function is identified, we can change behavior. Let’s define the four functions of behavior. |

The 3-term contingency helps discover the function of behavior. The 3-term contingency stands for Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence. How to use the 3-term contingency to determine the function of behavior is outlined below: Antecedent: What happened prior to the behavior? Behavior: What did the learner do? Consequence: What happened directly after the behavior occurred? |

Corriel Ragland, Behavior Therapist Corriel recently received her Masters in ABA from Saint Elizabeth University. Currently accumulating experience hours to sit for her Board-Certified Behavior Analyst exam. “One thing I love about working at Rainbow ABA is the great supervision I’m receiving from my supervisor. My supervisor helps me implement client programming the right way, gives me study tips for the exam and provides feedback in areas that I’m lacking in. I’m also happy to be apart of the social media team at Rainbow ABA because my hobby is creating content for social media. As a Behavior Technician, I would like to practice doing client assessments and program writing to prepare for my role as a BCBA”. A fun fact about Corriel is that she is a boy mom to two under two and loves to search Pinterest for new dessert recipes to make. |

Mya Feliciano, Behavior Therapist Mya has been working with Rainbow ABA as a Behavior Therapist for over a year! Mya wants to learn more about challenging maladaptive behaviors because every learner is different. If the intervention isn't working, it's changed based on what works for the learner. “I love working at Rainbow ABA because I’ve met so many people and visited new environments” |
