We use the Triple T- which stands for Trigger-Target-impacT.\u202f These three cords are your summary statement.\u202f When this happens, the student\/child does this, to gain or escape this.\u202f Once we know the summary statement, we can develop a plan that includes the Triple R- which stands for Revise the Environment-Replace the Behavior-Reframe the Response.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For the sake of this example, we will use teacher instruction as the trigger and peer attention as the impacT. We will give this example student at the age level of 13. The behavior only occurs in Math class. The student is very good at math and also very musically inclined.\u202f Most of the blurts are music-related<\/span>\u00a0yet<\/span> tie into the lesson.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
