Managing clients and their behaviors is something that we deal with on a daily basis and our goal is to help them to be successful. The way we can help is to acknowledge that everything is a behavior. So our goal is to replace behaviors we want to decrease with those behaviors we want to increase.

First, intervention comes with observation of a certain behavior. Being proactive and knowing when the behavior is on the rise, one must redirect the client in a positive direction. At times rewards can help before a behavior begins
ABC stands for Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence
ABC stands for: Antecedent: what happens before the behavior? Behavior: what is the behavior? C: what happens after the behavior? When should you intervene or an example of how to change a behavior: You can help a client by knowing your client and knowing what they are motivated by. If you know this beforehand you will be able to change their behavior by giving certain choices. By using your ABC’s you are able to recognize and intervene and decrease/prevent a behavior before it escalates or happens. Try and get rid of triggers if possible and decrease behavior by doing something a client does not want.
