Many teachers have difficulty managing students with challenging behavior. Rather than responding to problem behavior after the behavior occurs (i.e., consequence-based interventions), teachers can use preventative strategies (i.e., antecedent-based interventions) that address problems before they occur. This article describes three research-based antecedent interventions: pre-session attention, high-probability request sequences, and functional communication training to prevent and manage students’ challenging behaviors.
