Using Pre-Corrects to Support Compliance

Understand how pre-corrects prepare learners for expectations before problem behavior occurs.

Using Pre-Corrects to Support Compliance

Pre-corrects are proactive statements or prompts delivered before a challenging transition or expectation.

Rather than responding after problem behavior occurs, pre-corrects help learners anticipate what is expected and prepare for upcoming demands. When used effectively, pre-corrects reduce confusion and increase compliance.

Pre-corrects are most effective when paired with reinforcement and clear follow-up expectations.

  • Deliver pre-corrects at appropriate times
  • Use clear, concise language
  • Allow adequate processing time
  • Follow through consistently
