Behavior Intervention Plan for Leo (Based on ECD410 Case Study)

(Assuming Leo is a 4-year-old with tantrums during transitions and difficulty sharing, as referenced in Week 4)

1. Target Behaviors & Goals

  • Target Behavior 1: Tantrums (crying, hitting) during transitions (e.g., cleanup time → circle time).
    • Goal: Reduce tantrums to ≤1 per day within 4 weeks.
  • Target Behavior 2: Grabbing toys from peers during play.
    • Goal: Increase independent sharing (using words/pictures) to 80% of opportunities.

2. Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) Summary

  • Antecedents:
    • Transitions (e.g., "time to stop playing").
    • Peer proximity during play (e.g., another child holding a desired toy).
  • Consequences:
    • Tantrums result in adult attention (comforting) or escape (delaying transitions).
    • Grabbing toys leads to peer conflict (negative attention).
  • Function: Escape (avoiding transitions) and attention (seeking adult/peer reaction).
