This training is an introduction to Antecedent Based Interventions (ABIs) and Targeted Based
Interventions. ABIs are interventions that increase the likelihood of appropriate behaviors and/or
decrease the likelihood of problem behaviors by changing events that occur before a behavior.
Throughout this course, you will learn about several different ABIs including Visual Supports,
Priming, Highly Preferred Materials, Offering Choices, Premack Principle, High Probability Requests
and Noncontingent Reinforcement. You will also be introduced to the Student Intervention Matching
(SIM) Form and Targeted Behavior Interventions. The SIM Form is used for students identified as “at
risk” and helps match the behaviors exhibited by the student to possible Tier II interventions. The
interventions include School Home Note, Check-In Check-Out, Class Pass, Positive Peer Reporting,
Behavior Contract, Self-Monitoring and Small Group Social Emotional Learning. Participants will
learn how to complete and score the SIM Form, match the student needs to interventions and
implement each of the interventions with fidelity.
In order for the training to be held, there must be at least ten (10) participants registered. The
Arkansas Behavior Specialists are committed to making our events accessible to everyone. If you
require accommodations, please email the BSS trainer as soon as possible.
