Consequence strategies represent one of the foundational pillars of applied behavior analysis, and the competent implementation of these strategies by direct service staff is essential for effective service delivery. This course, presented by Nichole O'Donnell, focuses on the intersection of consequence strategies and staff training, addressing how behavioral skills training (BST) and competency-based training programs can be used to develop staff proficiency in implementing consequence-based interventions accurately and consistently.

This training is designed to equip behavior technicians with foundational and practical skills for applying common ABA consequence strategies in clinical settings. The session begins with a review of the ABC model (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence) and the four functions of behavior, providing essential context for understanding why behaviors occur. Building on this foundation, the training explores four core consequence strategies: Reinforcement, Functional Communication Training, Punishment, and Extinction. Each strategy is defined, explained, and illustrated with real-world examples to ensure clarity and application. Participants will learn how to identify appropriate reinforcement procedures to increase desired behaviors, effectively implement Functional Communication Training, understand the ethics around punishment-based procedures, and implement extinction protocols to reduce challenging behaviors. Emphasis is placed on understanding these concepts through examples and scenarios. By the end of this training, attendees will have actionable tools to confidently implement consequence strategies, improve client outcomes, and support the overall success of ABA programs.
