Time out refers to the practice of excluding the student from ongoing classroom activities for a brief period of time. Time out may be used as a consequence step in a sequence of intervention steps that starts with systematic recognition of other behavior and recognition of incompatible behavior, followed by more ignoring of the negative behavior while reinforcing other students, leading to the complete ignoring of the target student until an approximation of the target positive behavior is demonstrated.
