1. Name the three major types of setting events and provide a specific example of each one.
example:
Setting events may include environmental, social, or physiological factors. Examples of environmental setting events are schedule changes, transitions, or crowded settings. Examples of social setting events may involve fighting on the bus or the presence of certain individuals. Finally, examples of physiological setting events include pain, fatigue, illness, allergies, or medication side effects leading to discomfort or constipation.
2. Describe four characteristics of setting events.
example:
Important characteristics of setting events include:
  • Attention to broad, continuous events involving physiological, social, and physical factors,
  • A focus on natural settings and regular routines in the school and community,
  • An emphasis on assessing whether the current context is a good fit for the student and what changes would improve it, and
  • An emphasis on reorganizing the environment to accommodate the needs of the student.
3. Describe one intervention that minimizes or eliminates the occurrence of setting events and one intervention strategy that is implemented after a setting event occurs.
example:
Interventions that minimize or eliminate the occurrence of setting events include changing a studentīs schedule, providing medical treatment for infections or illness, making changes in medication administration in order to decrease discomfort due to side effects, and providing a student with opportunities to exercise.

Interventions that are implemented after a setting event occurs include neutralizing routines that are implemented before an antecedent event occurs (i.e. engaging in a highly preferred activity, rescheduling a canceled event), eliminating or withholding an antecedent event, adding more prompts for desirable behavior, increasing the value of reinforcers that are available for desirable behavior, and temporarily decreasing the amount of work you expect a student to complete.
