What Is an ABA Contingency Map?
Feb 27, 2024 Episode 139
Shira Karpel & Shayna Gaunt

It can be tough for our learners to understand what they may have done wrong and how they can do it better. One of the best ways to guide them is with a contingency map. Here, we walk through the ins and outs of ABA contingency maps and how to utilize them in practice. We often use contingency maps in two ways: as a reflection of something that happened in the past and as a way of priming for something that could happen in the future. Using a map gives our students a visual of their options.

We discuss how to create a contingency map and all the elements you want to include. We also talk about how to introduce contingency maps to teachers, when it’s appropriate to use them, why it’s important to understand the function of behavior or triggers, and how to incorporate role play.

What’s Inside:

  • How contingency maps are used in ABA
  • Tips to create your own contingency map
  • Why it’s important to understand the function of behavior or triggers
