Antecedent Intervention

Strategies implemented before a behaviour occurs to alter the environment and prevent the behaviour.

Antecedent interventions proactively change the environment to make challenging behaviour less likely or unnecessary. By modifying triggers or altering motivation, you prevent issues before they happen.

Examples include providing choices, modifying task difficulty, or enriching the environment. These strategies set the learner up for success and heavily reduce your reliance on reactive consequence strategies.
