Top Antecedent Strategies

My Top 6 Antecedent (proactive) Strategies:

• Giving Choices-- promotes opportunities for decision-making to increase motivation and build engagement, while respecting autonomy

• Priming-- prepares the student in advance for what's upcoming

• Explicit Instruction-- uses a series of small personalized instructions to ensure understanding and promote success

• Teaching Functional Communication-- teaching students functional ways to access wants/needs and promote self-advocacy

• Modeling-- demonstrating skills for the student, and giving opportunities for them to copy the modeled behaviors + skills.

• Noncontingent Reinforcement (NCR)-- provides reinforcement on a schedule, regardless of challenging behavior
