| You're working with a task clarification and prompting deficit, which means the staff aren’t clear on what to do, when to do it, or aren’t being effectively reminded or cued to do it. In this case, the antecedent interventions (preventive strategies) aren't being implemented reliably—which can be a big issue in group home settings, especially with individuals who rely on proactive supports to manage stress. | Create a visual “who does what, when” matrix for each shift. Post cue cards, checklists, or step-by-step visuals in key areas (kitchen, hallway, activity area).Use schedule-based prompts: Phone alerts or shift change reminder sheets Assign a “lead” each shift to cue others about preventive supports Short (10–15 min) refreshers to: Explain why each antecedent strategy matters Model correct implementation Practice real-life scenarios Use implementation data to give weekly shout-outs to staff who are doing well. Highlight how antecedent use reduces client distress, staff stress, and behavior incidents. |
| Checklists | Task clarification & Checklists |
| Checklists and direct observation | Review the antecedent interventions with counselors and use visual prompts and checklists as necessary |
| checklists, self-report | model, observe and provide feedback, checklists with specific sequential steps, |
| Frequency data | Prompting |
| checklists, TA | talk with staff, discuss why antecedent interventions |
| Graph | Task clarification |
| Provide additional training and review of the antecedent intervention in place | Create a systematic data sheet for recording the behavior and place it in a visually accessible location so that it serves as a visual reminder to take the data as well as record the data. Each person involved should be required to record their own data to serve as IOA for the antecedent intervention to determine if it is working to decrease the behaviors and if it is effective. An environmental inventory should be conducted to see if there are ways to decrease the likelihood of the behavior occurring that is related to the environment. |
| Antecedent Intervention Tracking: Data Type: Use a frequency count or event recording to track how often antecedent interventions (such as providing a calming prompt, setting expectations, etc.) are used. Tool: Create a simple data sheet for each shift where counselors can note whether antecedent interventions were provided (yes/no) before the stress-inducing behavior occurred. Specifics: Track the timing of interventions, the type used (e.g., environmental modification, preemptive prompting), and whether it occurred within a consistent timeframe before the behavior. Behavioral Observations: Data Type: Use a behavior frequency log or ABC charting (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence) to track behaviors related to stress (e.g., aggression, verbal outbursts, withdrawal). Tool: On the same data sheet, record the specific behavior that occurred after the antecedent intervention was implemented. This will help determine if antecedent interventions reduce the occurrence of stress-related behaviors.Self-Report or Peer/Staff Ratings: Data Type: Gather staff ratings (using a Likert scale, for example) of their confidence in implementing antecedent interventions and their perceived effectiveness. This can help assess the consistency of implementation. Visual Data Display: Tool: Create a graph that plots the frequency of interventions and stress-related behaviors over time to visually show the correlation between the two. | Task Clarification and Prompting Intervention: |
| checklist | checklist or other prompts |
| tally | prompt fading |
| observational, bst | checklists, TAs |
| Use a TA checklist for setting up the antecedent interventions | Reference the checklist and provide a visual guide to completing the antecedent intervention. |
| Teaching | reteach |
| In the moment observations | checklist |
| Keep shortened list of antecedent interventions in common area | create checklists and step by step instructions posted so that staff can review and implement accordingly |
| Antecedent-behavior-consequence anecdotal data can be collected or a checklist | Role-playing, task analysis, checklist |
| FOI, checklist | modeling |
| Momentary sampling or Partial interval | Clarification for the intervention and rehearsal |
| fidelity checklist | bst |
| Data for the target response can be collected using direct observation, permanent product recording, fidelity checklists, and self-report measures to track accuracy and consistency. | Based on PDC-HS data, interventions may include performance feedback, in-the-moment coaching, enhanced training with modeling, and reinforcement systems to improve implementation. Additionally, task clarification and environmental modifications can address barriers identified in the assessment. |
| Direct observations of data collection | Effort response - make data sheets more accessible |
| Zero data points. | Creating checklist to ensure that each step is clear and concise, allowing for accurate data to be documented. The checklist can be reviewed prior to the implementation of goals. |
