Tally ABC Results Within each column, tally how often each event occurred. Then, identify the most frequently observed event by circling the event. Write the event next to the #1 in the corresponding box below. Ratio = total number of observed occurrences of #1 / total intervals observed Large Group Instruction: Small group work: Independent work: Unstructured time: Specify: Given task/asked question: Given directive/ correction: No adult or peer attention given: No activity/unclear directions: Peer comment: With peers: Preferred activity removed: Transition/change in activity: Other: Behavior Adult attention provided: Peer attention provided: Got preferred activity/item: Obtained sensory: Adult attention avoided: Peer attention avoided: Task/activity avoided: Avoided sensory: Activity Antecedent Behavior Consequence #1 Ratio / #1 Ratio / #1 Ratio /
