Frequently asked questions

When should I use observation notes instead of ABC?

Use observation notes when you want more narrative space and a short checklist of possible reasons; use ABC when you want tight before/during/after rows.

Is this a BIP?

No. It is a classroom observation worksheet, not a behavior intervention plan.
