Behavior Modification Plan

The four behavior modification steps are contemplation, preparation/determination, action/willpower, and maintenance. These steps involve acknowledging the problem, getting ready to change, making the change, and then maintaining the behavior change.

Behavior modification involves modifying the environment to provide incentives for desired behavior. For example, praising a child for doing chores consistently can help make it a habit.

To write a behavior change plan, acquire informed consent, collect baseline data, analyze for the function of behavior, research interventions, and assemble the plan.
