  3. ABC Analysis • Allows the teacher to record behaviors as they happen • Less possibility for inadvertent bias since problem behaviors are recorded • Easy to complete • Easy to analyze for patterns

  4. Using an ABC Analysis

  5. Disadvantages to ABC • It gets harder to do correctly the longer you do them • Needs to be completed in the moment for the most accuracy • Still might reflect the biases of the data collector

  6. Summarizing Results • JUST THE FACTS! • Avoid explanatory fictions • Explain what “MIGHT” be influencing the data
