As a practicing independent Behavior Analyst, you have received an email from
As a practicing independent Behavior Analyst, you have received an email from a staff member representing a provider of education and/or human services requesting your services. Specifically, this staff member has asked you to meet with other staff and/or administrators to develop a behavior intervention plan for a third-grade student at a local elementary school. This student is demonstrating significant problem behaviors in the form of disruptive behaviors in his classroom and in other settings within the school (lunch, recess, specials, etc.). Disruptive behaviors have been termed “aggressive” and “non-compliant” by school staff.
Begin by specifying the referral problem. Be creative and consider the type of provider that has requested your services, the client, and provide operational definitions for the problem behaviors indicated in the scenario.
In a script or narrative format, provide information to the members of the “planning” meeting including the following:
Describe the specific purposes of a functional behavior assessment (FBA) and discuss why conducting the FBA prior to the development of a behavior intervention plan is important.
Describe, in specific detail, how antecedent stimuli and conditions could be potentially important for the assessment of the target behaviors in the scenario.
Please include discussion of the influence of discriminative stimuli and motivating operations in triggering the target behaviors.
Describe, in specific detail, how consequence stimuli and conditions could be potentially important for the assessment of the target behaviors.
Be sure to indicate the influences of positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, and automatic reinforcement in maintaining the target behaviors.
Select three indirect assessment procedures that you may be implementing during the process of the functional behavioral assessment.
Describe how each applies to the scenario.
Be sure to specify how they will be used and the purpose of each tool.
Select three direct descriptive assessment procedures you may be implementing during the process of the functional behavioral assessment.
Describe how each applies to the scenario.
Be sure to specify how they will be used and the purpose of each tool.
Describe, in specific detail, at least two ethical obligations and/or concerns that would be necessary to address within the current case scenario
You may use either, or both, ABA and BACB guidelines as reference.
IMPORTANT
The staff that you are presenting to think that, as a Behavior Analyst, you will be able to develop a behavior plan on the spot during this meeting that is both easy to administer and effective at modifying the behavior of the client in question. The staff clearly knows nothing about behavioral assessment processes. It is your job to assist them in understanding the process of Functional Behavioral Assessment and its necessity before any interventions can be developed and implemented. Be sure to discuss antecedent stimuli and consequence stimuli based on the function (purpose) that the target (problem) behavior serves and not the choice of intervention.
The goal is to identify variables that are related to the occurrence of the problem behavior, not to develop an intervention. Be mindful of making solid choices of the procedures you will be highlighting based on the scenario presented as well as rationales for your choices.
• DO NOT focus on the use of diagnoses or labels.
• You may take creative license and add to the scenario by fleshing out the student’s history or presenting problems if you choose.
Indirect Assessment Tools/Procedures:
• Review of records • Analysis of rating scale results • Interviews • Behavior-Analytic Problem-Solving Interview (BAPS-I) • Behavioral Stream Interview (BSI) Directive Descriptive Tools / Procedures: • The Functional Behavioral Assessment Form • Incident-Based Functional Assessment Form • Conditional Probability Record • Interval Recording Procedures • Task Analysis Recording Procedure -

You should utilize your textbook, but can also utilize any additional resources you find
Follow the rubric to guide you, which can be found by clicking on the 3 dots in the right upper quadrant of the screen
Review the case study example as to how to format and speak to each category -
Although you will be utilizing websites for information to answer the questions,
Although you will be utilizing websites for information to answer the questions, you do still need to follow the rubric related to resources–incorporation of your text, another provided resource from the lecture materials, and a peer-reviewed journal article that you find in the literature. The lecture materials provide a great foundation to understanding bills, your legislators, advocating, etc. that you can incorporate into your questions. As an example, you might use your resources when providing the rationale of why you chose the legislator to contact.
You will need an in-text citation to support your discussion for questions 1, 2, & 3; however, an intext citation is not needed for your recording (question 4). Just as for your letter assignment, you can state a resource, such as “According to the CDC, …” However, there are not intext citations or resources in the reference list for the recording. Please let your instructor or I know if you have any questions. Discussion Board Items—Refer to Discussion Board Guidelines and Grading Rubric as you complete these items. (The expectations are outlined in the syllabus and Module 0)
Identify your legislators for the state and national level. Please include the name of your state, district numbers for both your state level representatives and senators, as well as those on the national level. To respond to this item, you will have two US senators, one US Congressman, one state senator and one state representative.
Identify one contemporary health care issue. Go to gov, (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., click Legislation at the very top, then check the current Congress on the left margin. Or you can look at your state level legislative site to search for current bills. Look for bills that are related to your practice issue. Choose the bill that you will use for your Letter to Legislator Assignment. Outline the components of the bill. Choose one of your representatives as you identified in question. Go to either your state website or back to Congress.gov and see which committees your legislator is on and/or what their policy interests are—this is helpful in choosing which legislator to approach for assistance. Be specific and share what committees he/she is on and/or their policy interests…not all of them, but the ones that relate to your rationale. Explain why you chose the legislator to contact for your chosen bill. Record a short audio recording or video (3 minutes or less) of how you would discuss your health care issue and bill if you had the opportunity to meet with your legislator. Include the following information:Introduce yourself—name, nurse, constituent.
Briefly discuss the health care issue, bill, and outline the social, ethical, and economic impact of the issue related to health policy.
Request support or opposition of the bill
