Intensive behavioral practice is the teaching practice carried out at home or in the institution with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, based on the principles of practical behavioral analysis, for 20-40 hours a week and mainly with separate tests. The teaching with intensive behavioral practice and separate trials requires the OSB-recognized student to participate in the teaching activity for a long time and sit in place; also, the practitioner must meet the numerous reactions that the practitioner requires. Therefore, the teaching environment in which the intense behavioral practice is carried out, the teaching practice and the instruments included in the teaching can gain the motivating stimulus for the student. Therefore, during intensive behavioral practice, it is very often faced with various behavioral problems. Connecting with the student is a pre-found arrangement that serves to reduce the incentivity of unwanted activity; pre-session matching is a special connection process that is developed for intensive behavioral application. In pre-session matching, the new application environment for the student is aimed at reducing the incentive of the teaching that the student will participate for the first time and increasing the possibility of the student to participate in the teaching without problems by combining the applicants and the application tools with positive reinforcers. The purpose of this article is to introduce the research and application process in the field of pre-session matching.
