What is an ABC chart template?

The ABC Chart is a well-established tool for analysing behaviours by systematically recording what happens before (antecedent), during (behaviour), and after (consequence) a behavioural event.

ABC charts help to identify triggers and patterns in specific behaviours you want to observe, providing a clear picture of the factors influencing the individual’s actions. Through consistent use of the ABC Chart, carers can develop more targeted strategies to manage and support positive behaviour.
