Derived from applied behaviour analysis, antecedent-based interventions (ABI) are used to address both interfering behaviours (e.g. repetitive, disruptive) and on-task behaviours (e.g. engaged or working on specific task/activity).
ABI is often used with other evidence-based practices such as functional behaviour assessment (FBA), extinction (EXT), and reinforcement (R+).
✓ Antecedent-based Interventions are an evidence-based practice for children and youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from 0-22 years old that can be implemented in multiple settings
✓ Focus on identifying the events that take place immediately before and after an identified interfering behaviour in order to modify the environment to change the conditions in the setting that prompt a learner to engage in the behaviour
✓ Why Use?
ABI are designed to prevent the identified interfering behaviour from occurring.
You can use ABI to increase engagement and on-task behaviours.
ABI are easy to implement and require little additional effort
✓ Outcomes - The evidence-base for ABI supports the use of this practice to address the outcomes: Social Communication, Behaviour, School Readiness, Play, Motor, Adaptive, Academic Skills
✓ Steps for implementing:
1- Plan for the practice
Identify and define interfering behaviour through an FBA
Collect data using direct observation methods
Review data collected from direct observations
Develop a hypothesis statement and an overall goal
2- Use the practice
Select an ABI strategy that addresses the function of the interfering behaviour
Using learner preferences
Changing schedules/routines
Implementing pre-activity interventions
Using choice-making
Altering how instruction is delivered
Enriching the environment with sensory stimuli
Create lesson plan that includes selected ABI strategy
Ignore interfering behaviour
Provide learner with reinforcement
3- Monitor progress
Collect and analyze data on interfering behaviour
Determine next steps based on learner progress
