Abstract
This chapter outlines a process that early childhood professionals can use to address challenging behavior with behavioral strategies. The process begins with identifying a problem, considering why the problem is occurring, designing an intervention to address the problem, and using data to determine whether the intervention was effective in reducing the behavior and improving adaptive outcomes for the child.
