Behavior analysts focus on defining behaviors of social significance, often referred to as target behaviors. They will study the environment in which the individual’s target behaviors occur and determine what factor of the environment is maintaining the target behavior (known as the FUNCTION of the behavior). Using this information, an intervention that addresses that same FUNCTION is implemented to create an appropriate and positive change in behavior! The behaviors targeted are those that may cause harm or interfere with the individual’s learning.
