The Misfit Behaviorists - Practical Strategies for Special Education and ABA Professionals

Ep. 44: Understanding Setting Event Strategies in Behavior Plans - Part 8 of the FBA Mini-Series


Listen Later

In this episode, we are tackling the first step of developing a solid behavior plan after the FBA has been completed and decisions made. Today, let's talk about Setting Event Strategies!

Key Takeaways
🧠 What Are Setting Event Strategies? These are long-term adjustments that address factors influencing behavior, such as sleep, nutrition, routines, and the environment.
🌊 The Iceberg Analogy: Setting events are like the part of the iceberg beneath the water—hidden but critical for understanding behavior.

🛠️ Three Key Areas:

  • Environmental modifications (e.g., seating changes, sensory adjustments).
  • Addressing internal needs (e.g., sleep, hunger, hydration).
  • Establishing predictable routines to reduce anxiety.


🕒 Timing Is Key: Setting event strategies are proactive and planned well in advance, unlike antecedent strategies, which are implemented immediately before behavior occurs.
🤝 Individualization Matters: Each strategy should be tailored to the unique needs of the learner.
