Antecedent-based interventions is an evidence- based practice for children and youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from 0-22 years old. ABI is used to make changes to the environment to decrease an identified interfering behavior and increase on-task behaviors. WHY USE THIS ABI WITH MY CHILD? Antecedent-based interventions can be used to prevent or reduce interfering behaviors and increase engagement in an activity. Research studies have shown that antecedent- based interventions have been used effectively with learners in early intervention, preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school, and young adults with autism to effectively address academic/pre-academic, adaptive/self- help, challenging/interfering behavior, communication, mental health, play, school readiness, and social outcomes. WHAT ACTIVITIES CAN I DO AT HOME? When your child has a challenging behavior, think about what happened before and after the behavior. Think of ways you can change what happens before the challenging behavior. For example, if your child refuses to brush his or her teeth, consider introducing a visual schedule to signal your child needs to brush teeth and the steps involved. Changing the environment before an activity (such as using a picture rather than words) the challenging behavior may decrease. Remember to praise your child or provide reinforcement for completing a task or activity.
