This lesson will provide an overview of the ABC's of behavior, focusing specifically on adults with special needs. Understanding the ABC's (Antecedents, Behavior, and Consequences) is crucial for individuals working with adults who exhibit challenging behaviors. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of antecedents and precursors, which are events or circumstances that occur prior to a behavior and can influence its occurrence. By understanding the relationship between antecedents and behavior, we can develop effective strategies to prevent and address challenging behaviors in adults with special needs.
