How to Make your Own ABC Chart

Page 25

If you are creating your own ABC Chart, here are some necessary parts to include.

You will need to include the name of the child and the behavior that you are observing. Next, write down the date and time for each of the behaviors you observe to see if there is a connection to either. All of the incidents could be happening on the same day of the week or at the same time of day.  

Lastly, you will need to add the next three most important sections: the antecedent, the behavior, and the consequence.

An antecedent is what happens before the incident occurs. This could be a child takes a toy from them, a child sits next to them at the table, their parent leaves, etc. These are things that you will want to try and pay extra attention to. 

The behavior is what the child who you are observing does when the antecedent happens. This could be hitting another child or another behavior that you are trying to observe. 

The consequence is what happens after the incident occurs. This could be the child sits with a teacher, the child gains the toy that was taken, the child hides, etc.  

Once you have established a pattern, you can better understand what elements you may have to adjust within the classroom environment, schedule, and/or staffing.
