This document summarizes observations of a child's behavior using an ABC (antecedent, behavior, consequence) framework. It describes common triggers for both appropriate and challenging behaviors, including lack of parental attention or being asked to play alone. Positive consequences like praise or attention often followed appropriate behaviors. Challenging behaviors were sometimes addressed with conversations about misbehavior. The reflections evaluate tools like ABC data forms, motivation scales, and reinforcer surveys in assessing behaviors and finding effective rewards.

1. Antecedent
(BEFORE)
What time did beh occur, who was around, activities/tasks were
going on, triggers, etc.
Behavior
(DURING)
Record what happened when that the Operationally Defined
Behavior occurred.
Consequence
(AFTER)
What was the response from environment (what did peers were
adults or others say or do)other consequences.
What time did the behavior occur: N.A usually hit her sister in
the morning(from 7:30AM to 10:00AM) or in to
afternoon(around 2:30 to3:30)
who was around, activities/tasks were going on: in the early
morning N.A mother usually clan the hose and wash the clothes.
However, around 3:30to 3:30 N.A father come from work and
he usually spend time taking a shower and reads his e-mail. In
this time N.A supposed to play with his toys or watch T.V
children programs.
when N.A hit his sister, the parents usually come and tried to
comfort his sister while in the same time verbally reprimand
him for his misbehavior. For example: when N.A hit his sister,
his mother said: this is not what we deal, I told you not to hit
your sister.

2. In order to make N.A busy and far away from his sister, N.A
parents usually spent time to play, talk, and read stories with
him.
Summary of Patterns from A-B-C Observations
1/Common Antecedents to Appropriate Behavior:
If one of the fallowing situation accord N.A usually involved in
appropriate behavior:
A. After N.A parent’s spent enough time playing with him
B. When N.A parent’s give him positive feedback when he play
alone even if they were busy with something else. For example:
if the mother was cooking and in the same time she looked at
N.A and said: wow I like your drawing you are a good artist.
C. After give time to N.A to speak and express his feeling

2/Common Antecedents to Challenging Behavior:
If one of the fallowing situation accord N.A usually involved
challenging behavior:
A. When there is absence of attention. For example: when N.A
parent’s busy doing other thing
B. When N.A parents asked him to play alone or watch T.V.
C. when N.A tried to talk with his parent and they told him that
they will be with him after few minutes.

3/Common Consequences to Appropriate Behavior:
A. Sometime N.A parents reinforce him verbally(good job) or
tangible(candy).
B. N.A parents stopped to play with him and assign him to play

B. The parents have conversation with N.A regarding his
misbehavior
C. N.A parents ply with him
D. N.A parents tried to make him do something to his sister
such as: feeding her sister
Reflection of ABC data form
ABC data form is one of the most common functional
assessment observation methods. In ABC Data Form the
recorder have to gather information about specific challenging
behavior, then evolve them into a positive behavior support
plan.
While I was appling the ABC date form I find it very useful
because it allow me to explore mystery events that I couldn’t
know them in other assessment tool such as, the events that help
to maintain the challenging behavior, and the appropriate
behaviors that are not reinforced. Also, through spending time
observing N.A I was able to know some social skills that he
need to learned, and environmental conditions that need
modification.
In my opinion, ABA data form Is very helpful to reveal the
correct reason of the challenging behavior, and corrects false

4. judgment. For example, N.A parents were thinking that N.A hit
his sister because he was jealousy from her. However, after
apply APA data form method which contain: observing the
student through several observation periods and recording the
target behavior, when the problem behavior occurs, records
events that occurred right before the behavior (antecedents),
recorded events that occurred during the behavior, and records
events that occurred just after the behavior (consequences) I
deduce that the reason of N.A challenging behavior was not to
express his jealousy, but to get more attention from his parent.
Even though I find ABA data form is very helpful, I was hoping
that it include more steps that help to insure the result such as
survey or question.
Reflection of Motivation Assessment Scale
The Motivation Assessment Scale is a rating scale that assesses
functions of specific behavior problem in individuals through
informant responses.
While I was using the Motivation Assessment Scale with
Aljazi I find it very useful for the following reason. First,
because The MAS usually presented in an interview format it
don’t require large amount of time, witch accommodate with the
limited time I have to find out what is Aljazi main/ higher
behavioral motivation. Second, it is easy to use this tool, and it
require less effort. For example, in MAS All what I have to do
is circle how often the behavior occurs in different situations.
However, in other assessment tool it require more effort such
as: observing, and survey. Third, this scale provide plenty
information about ALjaze possible reasons of behavioral
motivation. the score of the Motivation Assessment Scale
indicate what is a higher behavioral motivation such as:
Sensory, Escape, Social Attention or Tangible Consequences .
Moreover, the Motivation Assessment Scale not only provide
the primarily or the a higher behavioral motivation , but also
provide extra information of Possible reasons that may
involved in the formation of the challenging behavior. For

5. example, the score of the Motivation Assessment Scale shows
that the higher behavioral motivation of Alyazi challenging
behavior was to acquire Social Attention, however, the scale
also show that Tangible consequences may have high score(nor
that be 10)which must be take encounter when format a
treatment plan.
Reflection of Problem Behavior Questionnaire
Problem Behavior Questionnaire is indirect functional
assessment instrument that use with students how involve with
challenging behavior.
While I was Appling the Problem Behavior Questionnaire I find
it very useful in Sara satiation for some reason: First, by this
tool I was able to examine a large number of variables that may
create the challenging behavior. Second, by asking Sara to
expose behavior and feelings which have been experienced in
real situations, I was able of gathering information about
feeling and behavior in short period.
However, in the end of the questionnaire, I couldn’t guarantee
the result for some reason. First: Sara may tried to present
herself in a socially acceptable manner, in sequence, she may
not respond honestly. Second, even though I tried to explain the
questions for Sara, I was not really sure that Sara understood all
of the question. In sequence, I was not able to collect
valid/credible data which affect the result.
Reflection of Reinforcer Survey
Reinforcer survey is a simple survey that ask people questions
in order to distinguish the primary types of rewords they value.
By using this assessment tool with Dalia I find it very useful for

6. the following reason:
1/the result of this survey was very important in Dalia satiation.
Dalia’s mother and teacher wanted to know the perfect type of
reword to Dalia, so they can effectively reword her.
2/the sentences were clear and easy to understand.
3/ the choices were clear and non-dispersed
4/ the survey was easy to apply and it doesn’t require long time.
However, in Dalia satiation the result of the survey was not
precise. The result show that the primary type of reword to
Dalia was Independence (Dalia answer 4 questions that show
that she prefer Independence type of reword). However, this
type followed closely by consumable(Dalia answer 3 questions
that show that she prefer consumable type of reword). In my
opinion such survey have to cooperated with observation to
make sure of the result.
*S.N. Interrupt others adults conversation.
*The result show that S.N tried to get attention from adults
when she engaging in inappropriate behavior.
*Alyazi usually yells when she assign to work with her peers.
