The purpose of this chapter is to provide readers with a review of the ethical and legal issues that must be considered regarding the implementation of school-based behavior interventions. First, the chapter reviews relevant laws governing the use of school-based behavior interventions. Second, it reviews the ethical codes of three professional organizations to highlight considerations for providing behavior interventions. Third, it identifies broad ethical and legal issues that are relevant across several aspects of service delivery. Fourth, it provides a more comprehensive review of the ethical and legal considerations for four issues that may be the most pertinent for practitioners. Fifth, the chapter discusses ethical decision-making and reviews a systematic problem-solving model. Finally, it reviews ethical challenges reported by practitioners in previous empirical work that are related to behavior interventions.","PeriodicalId":404909,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Behavioral Interventions in Schools","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122907310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, it is necessary to identify behavior change strategies that promote appropriate social behavior in students who exhibit severe aggression and other disruptive behaviors.

Next, considerations for implementing antecedent interventions are discussed, including developing a comprehensive plan and ongoing data collection. The chapter then presents a range of antecedent interventions.

Contrasting behavior interventions that do not address behavior function, the main goal of function-based behavior interventions is to disrupt the relationship between a specific problem behavior and its reinforcing consequence. In theory, by providing the hypothesized reinforcing consequence (e.g., attention) contingent on a less effortful functionally equivalent behavior or by withholding the reinforcing consequence when the target behavior is exhibited, the target behavior will cease to be functional and can be reduced or eliminated. This chapter will not focus on the process of conducting a functional behavior assessment but will instead provide a guide for practitioners as they match identified functions to individualized intervention strategies.
