The session places ABA in everyday settings, including classroom reward jars and employee bonuses. LaMarche moves from defining behavior to collecting initial data, considering its function and reviewing data after an intervention is introduced.

Her ABC-chart discussion connects what happens before a behavior with what happens afterward. Later examples cover reinforcement, prompt fading and a tooth-brushing behavior chain, giving concrete illustrations of the introductory terminology.
