Abstract

Intervention for challenging behavior has long been characterized by consequence approaches, which often meant the application of aversive procedures. However, in recent years the development and refinement of functional assessment has brought about alternative approaches to behavior management. Antecedent interventions represent one alternative. Because antecedent intervention approaches are relatively new, a number of questions remain regarding utility and applicability. The current paper reviews empirical research describing assessmentbased antecedent interventions implemented in natural settings. Descriptive information is provided along a number of dimensions pertaining to participant characteristics, assessment utilized, and intervention attributes.
