Behavior chains are wonderfully simple–just use cues to reinforce cued behaviors–yet it’s so easy to get drawn into complexities. Especially when things start to go wrong, we can get caught up in superstitions or wishful thinking (“If we just keep doing it, he’ll start to get it right! Any moment now!”).

Let’s talk about the care and feeding of behavior chains, how to maintain them reliably and how to repair them efficiently when something goes wrong. We’ll even discuss when we might want to break them, and of course how to build strong chains when we want to keep them.

By the end of this session, you will know how to identify the broken link in a chain (which may not be the one which looks broken), how to keep chains reliable, and how to test your chain before you assemble it.
