NOTE TO WRITER: I have attached a Template for the ABA/IBI Assessment and Intervnetion Design named “Template for ABA_IBI Assessment and Intervention Design Assignment BHS204 (1).docx” The scenarios to pick from are outline in the Template file. Please use this document as a guidline and follow the instructions this template provides to complete the assignment and so you can understand the different scenarios to pick from. Note TO WRITER: Also there is a file named “ABA/IBI Assessment and Intervention Design Assignment Example” please use this example given by the Prof if you are confused on what to do and how the assignment should look like. Students will select from one of three different scenarios and develop a hypothetical Intervention behavioural assessment and intervention plan: Assignment Instructions: Using the template provided: 1) Define the target behaviours you would like to decrease or increase. You can utilize any definition (label) or form that you can think of, but make sure that it corresponds to the scenario that you have selected and that your definition is as clear as possible (see lecture slides that described operational definitions). Make sure your definition corresponds to the dimension of “behavioral” as outlined by Baer, Wolf, & Risley (1968). NOTE: PLEASE CITE THIS ARTICLE FILE ADDED TO ORDER 2) Identify how you would have assessed the function of problem behaviour (if applicable) and support your approach/strategy using examples from the behaviour-analytic literature as well as the factors associated with the scenario you have selected. If you are selecting target behaviour(s) to increase, describe how you will assess the person’s current level of skill/fluency. NOTE: PLEASE USE CITATIONS FOR THIS PART OF THE ASSIGNMENT. Please also describe the independent and dependent variables 3) Identify a behaviour-analytic approach you may recommend for this scenario to attempt to help the people described in it. For example, you may recommend a form of differential reinforcement, extinction, antecedent strategies, or even punishment procedures if you believe they are necessary. Describe how you would apply these approaches (e.g. prompting and reinforcement procedures). Explain your rationale. Explain your rationale. NOTE: PLEASE USE CITATIONS FOR THIS PART OF THE ASSIGNMENT. Please also describe the independent and dependent variables 4) Describe how you would collect data to determine whether your intervention is effective. Provide a rationale for selecting this method. 5) Describe strategies to generalize and promote any newly acquired skills by either the mediators/caregivers, or the person who is the subject of behavioural intervention. Provide a rationale.
