Special educators are often considered the experts in their school when it comes to developing functional behavior assessments (FBA) and behavior intervention plans (BIP), yet rarely are they trained much beyond basic antecedents, behaviors, and consequences (ABC). This column discusses concepts that will expand special education professionals’ knowledge to make better decisions regarding interventions for the students they serve. Specifically, the focus is on motivating operations (MO) and function-based interventions and the implications of these on behavior. Knowledge of the concept of MOs can enhance a teacher’s ability to provide evidence-based interventions and more fully developed behavioral interventions for students in their purview.

理解激励操作和对行为功能的影响

在制定功能性行为评估 (FBA) 和行为干预计划 (BIP) 时，特殊教育工作者通常被认为是学校的专家，但他们很少接受超出基本前因、行为和后果 (ABC) 的培训。本专栏讨论的概念将扩展特殊教育专业人员的知识，以便为他们所服务的学生做出更好的干预决策。具体而言，重点是激励操作 (MO) 和基于功能的干预以及这些对行为的影响。了解 MO 的概念可以提高教师在其职权范围内为学生提供循证干预和更充分发展的行为干预的能力。
