1. Case Example 1: Joe Joe is a 2nd grade student who was referred by his teacher for refusing to do work and throwing tantrums (whining, pounding his hands on his desk, and throwing his papers on the floor). This problem occurs most frequently when Joe is given a math assignment to work on in math class. After he throws a tantrum he is often sent to the back table where he works on sheets of single digit addition facts. His behavior has become much worse since beginning the lessons on subtraction, but the behavior started with the introduction of double digit addition problems.

2. Example 1: What is the function? Function: The function of Joe’s behavior appears to be to escape more difficult math problems (double digit addition and subtraction) Goes to the back table and works on easier single digit addition and subtraction Throws tantrum Given assignments in math class ConsequenceBehaviorAntecedent

3. Competing Behavior Pathway: Short-term goal Reducing Problem Behavior Example w/ Joe Go to back table with easier work Throws a Tantrum Raise hand & ask Math Assignment No setting event ID’d

4. Competing Behavior Pathway: Long-term goal Increasing Desired Behavior Example w/ Joe Success in math Go to back table with easier work Complete math work Throws a Tantrum Math Assignment No setting event ID’d

5. Competing Behavior Pathway Example w/ Joe Success in math Go to back table with easier work Complete math work Throws a Tantrum Raise hand & ask Math Assignment No setting event ID’d
