Abstract
This poster describes instruction-based concurrent operant assessments (IB-COA) and how to use them to increase students’ engagement with low preferred activities. Concurrent operant assessments (COA) are an observation-based means of assessing preference, which means preference is determined by observing what an individual actually does rather than what they report as enjoyable (Pollack et al, 2020). An IB-COA uses the same principles and can be used to increase students' engagement with low-preferred activities. Participants will understand the research base supporting COAs. Implementation of IB-COAs to increase students' engagement will also be discussed. Finally, participants will learn how they can use the results of IB-COAs to develop interventions.
