Many of the youth with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) who are served within alternative education settings experience behavioral challenges including displaying behaviors of concern while having difficulty demonstrating the expected behaviors. Through the low-intensity behavioral strategy of precorrection, staff in alternative education settings can proactively assist youth with EBD in reaching behavioral and academic goals. The following article details the eight specific steps of precorrection, including a review of the prior literature, steps for implementation by staff in alternative education settings, and considerations for implementation.
