Welcome to the Constructional Approach to behavior analysis community!
Welcome to the nonlinear analysis and constructional approach community. Explore our resources, case studies, and practical applications to see how constructional principles can create lasting change in education, therapy, and everyday life. Whether you’re a practitioner, researcher, or someone simply interested in behavior science, we invite you to join the conversation and contribute to a world where behavior analysis is focused on growth and opportunity.
The Constructional Approach in Action:
Unlike approaches that focus on eliminating “pathology,” we view the current behavior as understandable and even adaptive within your specific circumstances. By analyzing the costs and benefits of current patterns of behavior as well as the available alternatives, we can identify more effective and less costly ways to achieve the outcomes you value.
Key Principles of the Constructional Approach:
Focus on Outcomes: We begin by clearly defining the successful outcomes you want to achieve, stated in terms of observable accomplishments and behaviors, exploring what life would look like once you’ve reached your goals.
Understanding Maintaining Consequences: We identify the natural outcomes and consequences that will support and maintain your progress as you build new patterns.
Building on Strengths: Current relevant skills and resources are the starting point for positive change, identifying what you’re already good at and how those strengths can be leveraged
Continuous Monitoring: Progress is tracked while the program is underway, using tools like daily logs to provide ongoing feedback and guide further steps. This allows for adjustments and ensures the program remains effective and aligned with your goals.
Creating Change Procedures: The development of clear and manageable steps move you from your current situation towards your desired outcomes. These procedures are tailored to specific goals and existing abilities.
The Constructional Approach offers a direct and empowering path towards creating a more fulfilling life.
