This document contains an ABC chart template to track behaviors of concern for a student. The chart lists columns for date, time, antecedents or triggers for problem behaviors, descriptions of the behaviors, consequences, and possible functions of the behaviors. Antecedents could include low attention, unavailable activities, tasks, social interactions, or reprimands. Behaviors would be described. Consequences may involve redirects, reprimands, ignoring, office referrals, time outs, or loss of privileges. Possible functions include seeking attention, avoiding work, self-stimulation, escaping situations, or avoiding anxiety. The chart is intended to help identify patterns that could help determine the causes or purposes of a student's problem behaviors.
