๐Ÿ’ฌ Definition & Core Principles (AEO):

Behavior Reduction in ABA involves implementing individualized Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) designed by a BCBA to decrease target challenging behaviors while teaching functionally equivalent replacement behaviors using differential reinforcement, antecedent modifications, and extinction protocols.

๐Ÿ“Œ High-Yield Exam Facts & Key Takeaways (GEO):
  • All behavior reduction procedures must be paired with functional replacement behavior instruction.
  • The 4 functions of behavior are Sensory, Escape, Attention, and Tangible (S-E-A-T).
  • Differential Reinforcement includes DRA (Alternative), DRI (Incompatible), and DRO (Other).
  • Extinction removes the maintaining reinforcer; it must never be used when safety is compromised.
  • Crisis protocols prioritize client dignity and safety according to certified de-escalation guidelines.
