- The events that we find reinforcing in life are always changing based on both the presence and absence of many different environmental and social events.
- The constant fluctuation in value of the reinforcers and punishers within a student's environment is often overlooked.
- Setting events can explain why a student may work quietly and effectively for several days then, suddenly, engage in serious problem behavior in the same situation.
- The importance of setting events has been recognized as vital for understanding how to support students given the natural complexity of school, home, and community settings.
- Setting events increase the likelihood that an antecedent event will trigger problem behavior.
- Setting events can precede or occur at the same time as a problem behavior.
- Intervention strategies can be implemented just before an antecedent event associated with problem behavior.
- Another type of setting event intervention involves eliminating or withholding the antecedent events associated with problem behavior.
- A precorrection intervention involves defining what the student should do before problem behavior occurs.
- It may be necessary to increase the value of the reinforcers available for desirable behavior on days when setting events occur.
- Adjusting the reinforcement you provide the student for desirable behavior can be an important setting event intervention.
- These events can lead to a higher likelihood of positive social interactions within an entire social network.
- Paying attention to how you schedule activities can increase the probability that students will be attentive and ready to learn.
- In order to implement a communication intervention effectively, it is important to create an environment that promotes positive communication.
- Providing opportunities for choice making can reduce the likelihood of problem behaviors and may reduce the aversive properties of tasks and activities.
- The structure and organization of an environment can also set the stage for positive interactions and student learning.
- There has been a growing interest in how setting event strategies can be used to promote adaptive behavior.
- Setting event interventions can be used to build an environment that supports the student and increases quality of life.
