In order to decrease the amount of time it takes Noah to transition as well as the
number of prompts needed, I conducted a functional behavior analysis on his
transition process. Once I discovered a pattern in Noah’s transitions, I created a
behavior plan to encourage self-monitoring, and provide Noah with positive
reinforcement for completing transitions independently. The artifacts in this
presentation show highlights from Noah’s FBA, key pieces of his behavior plan,
and data showing the trend of his behavior, pre- and post-intervention.

decided that a sticker chart for
positive reinforcement for
effective transitions would help
reduce the time it took to
transition and the number of
prompts.
“PLOP!” Card
This is the “Plop!” card I made for
Noah. During transitions, when he
would become confused and would
stand or wander around the room,
I would show this to Noah.
Through some pre-teaching, I
taught him to “plop” down
wherever he was and wait for an
adult to redirect him. Once he was
redirected and completed the rest
of the transition, I would positively
reinforce his behavior with the
sticker chart.
