abstract="Using a case study method (&quot;Level 1&quot; research), we evaluated an antecedent intervention for tantrum behavior of a 5-year old girl who had cognitive, language, and motor challenges. The setting was a kindergarten classroom in a public elementary school. A functional assessment indicated that tantrums were most likely to occur during several &quot;high demand&quot; activities and that novel staff were associated with absence of tantrums. The antecedent intervention, consisting of having novel staff conduct instruction, was implemented during the &quot;high demand&quot; activities each day. Tantrum behavior was eliminated during intervention and remained absent at a 1-month follow-up. Staff who participated in the intervention judged it to be highly effective and acceptable.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
