01 · What you'll notice
What it keeps track of.
- Antecedent: what happened right before
- Behavior: what was observed, described without judgment
- Consequence: what happened right after
- Where it happened, who was there, and how intense it was
02 · Why it helps
Something firmer than a hunch.
Behavior makes more sense once you can see what surrounds it. The ABC structure captures the before and after, which is where the explanation usually lives. It also gives a behavior analyst or teacher a clean, consistent record to work from.
03 · How it works
Three steps.
- Log an event in three parts: what came before, what happened, what came after.
- Describe the behavior plainly, without judgment.
- Your report counts where events happened, who was there, and how intense they were.
04 · The thinking behind it
What it's built on.
Based on the ABC framework (antecedent, behavior, consequence) widely used in applied behavior analysis and classrooms. It is a structured observation log, not a behavior plan, and it keeps the language descriptive rather than evaluative.
Specthrive's trackers are developed with a licensed clinical counselor (LPCC) on our founding team.
