When writing an ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) or similar plan, the following worksheet may be helpful. (This is specific for children; however, it would be similar for adults.)
Plan Writing Work Sheet
Complete all that apply. In most cases all will apply.
What is the problem behavior? ________________________
What is the function of the problem behavior? What benefit is the child getting from this? Remember that the same problem behavior may derive different benefit in different settings. ____________________
Measurable Behavioral Objective:
1. Whose behavior is being modified? (name of child) _____________________________________________
2. What behavior do you want to increase or initiate? ______________________________________________
3. What is the cue that will tell the child that it is time to do the behavior? _____________________________
4. How will you know that the objective has been met? _____________________________________________
How will you show (data) that this has been met? _________________________________________________
What is the current baseline for the desired behavior? (Don’t know, is unacceptable. Trials should be run
during the comprehensive, functional assessment or previous therapy) _____________________________________________
What is the reinforcement for the child if the child completes the desired behavior as prescribed? _________________________________
What will be the reaction of the therapist (or parent) if the child does not do the desired behavior within the

What additionally will be done to prevent the problem behavior? _____________________________________
What will be done to minimize aversives in this interaction? _________________________________________
What will be the next steps in this objective? _____________________________________________________
How will this skill (behavior) be generalized? ____________________________________________________
Could any therapist or the parent pick up the plan, carry it out and collect data as required without any additional background or discussion? Yes ____ No ____
