- Title
"Something Like It" Behavioral Applications Usually Do Not Work.

- Abstract
Some practitioners who attempt to implement behavioral teaching tactics change essential elements necessary for these practices to work effectively. They may add, modify, or omit relevant aspects of procedures that render the original practices useless. Such modifications can result in "something like it" behavioral approaches that can lead to unfortunate and unintended behavioral consequences. This paper examines one second grade student's experiences to illustrate the potential harm of one "something like it" approach, and recommends ways to translate this kind of approach into effective behavioral practices. This paper concludes that teachers should understand how poor behavioral practice can negatively impact students' behavior and should carefully and correctly use behavioral techniques to ensure positive student and classroom outcomes.
