F Flashcards
What are 6 things to consider before starting an FBA
Severity of the problem behavior
Frequency of problem behavior
Potential for harm to client or others
Environmental variables, setting
Time, Staffing, and monetary constraints
Alternative ways to provide effective implementation
What does FERB stand for
Functionally Equivalent Replacement Behavior
What does prioritizing socially significant goals mean
Selecting what goals are most important to address first (safety)
How do you assess if making changes to a target behavior is socially valid
prerequisite for a useful skill
will the behavior increase the client’s access to environments where other important behaviors can be learned?
Will changing the behavior predispose others to interact with the client?
If the target behavior is reduced or eliminated what behavior will replace it?
How do you Identify socially significant goals
what goals are important to the person firstly, those close to them second, society third
things that a client wants to do better, has not yet accomplished, want to feel more confident while doing
skill deficit
things that a client does well, has already mastered, feels confident doing
skill strengths
A type of procedure that is used to determine what types of stimuli a person prefers
preference assessment
Preference assessment
open-ended questions, choice format, and/or ranking
Direct Questions
Preference assessment
Stimuli are presented one at a time and the person’s behavior(s) toward each one is recorded
Single Choice
Preference Assessment
Two stimuli are presented to a person and the person’s choice is recorded. All possible combinations of pairs are presented
Paired choice
Preference Assessment
Array of stimuli are presented and the person selects which one they want most. This stimulus is removed from the array and the other stimuli are rearranged and the process is repeated.
Multiple Stimulus without replacement
Preference assessment
an array of stimuli are presented and the person selects which one they want most. This stimulus remains in the array and the other stimuli are replaced with new stimuli
Multiple stimulus with replacement
What are the four functions of behavior
sensory/automatic
escape/avoidance
attention/connection
tangibles/attaining
A function of behavior where the person engages in the behavior regardless if other people are around or not because it feels good, helps with regulation
Sensory/automatic
A function of behavior where a person engages in a behavior in order to reduce pain, frustration, anxiety, or otherwise get away from an unpleasant stimulus or situation
escape/avoidance
A function of behavior where a person engages in a behavior in order to interact with another person
Attention/Connection
A function of behavior where a person engages in a behavior in order to gain access to an activity or something they want, need, or are interested in
tangibles/attaining
What type of FBA is information gathered from sources with no direct observations
Indirect FBA
What type of FBA is information gathered from direct observations in naturally occurring settings
Descriptive FBA
