ABA
science from tactics derived from the principles of behavior applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for behavior change.
the scientific study of principles of learning and behavior
how could you assist in training stakeholders?
RBT can assist by giving them instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback with regard to behavioral skills training
personal conflict
RBT’s recognize their personal problems may impact their ability to perform their duties and refrain from providing services when this is the case
learning disabilities
due to genetic and/or
neurobiological factors that alter brain functioning in a
manner which affects one or more cognitive processes
related to learning and interferes with organization, time planning, abstract reasoning, long or
short-term memory and attention
% of disabilities
one in seven Americans (15%) has some type of learning disability,
- specific learning disability (SLD)
conditions thats affect ability to read, write, listen, speak, reason, do math

more than one condition covered by IDEA (needs specific program)
how many disabilities under IDEA?
13
individual education plan (IEP) in CA
both a process and written doc; child must have one more more eligible disabilities, must affect their educational performance, must require SpEd services
high functioning/level 1 autism
patient’s skills/behaviors are only noticeable without support
autism/level 2
skills/behaviors are still obvious to casual observer, even with support in place
severe autism/level 3
skills/behaviors severely impair daily life
Leo Kanner
identified autism in 1943
Bruno Bettelheim
referred to autism as the refrigerator mother theory in 1960
CDC

ASD criteria (DSM 5)
A. deficits: social-emotional reciprocity, nonverbal communicative behaviors, developing and maintaining relationships
B. repetitive (2) behaviors: speech, movements, patterns, fixated interests, hyper/hypo reactivity to sensory input
C. symptoms in early childhood
D. symptoms limit and impair everyday functioning
who can diagnose?
medical doctors or licensed psychologists; districts can only identify if they meet eligibility
visual cortex
autism can be identified in this part of cerebral cortex (back of skull); processes visual info, difficulty shifting focus
antecedent based interventions (ABI)
arrangement of events or circumstances before activity in order to increase the pref behavior
augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)
using system of communication that is not verbal such as device or sign language
behavioral momentum intervention (BMI)
more difficult responses are embedded in less effortful responses to increase persistence
cognitive behavioral strategies (CBIS)
instruction on management of cognitive processes
differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA)
positive consequence when engaging in specific desired behavior other than the undesired one
differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI)
positive consequence when engaging in behavior that physically impossible to do while exhibiting undesirable behavior
differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO)
positive consequence for not engaging in the undesirable behavior
direct instruction (DI)
scripted protocols or lessons to promote mastery and generalization
discrete trial training (DTT)
instructional approach with repeated trials with carefully planned consequence (clear and concise)
exercise and movement (EXM)
intervention uses physical exertion, motor skills, or mindful movement
extinction (EXT)
removal of reinforcing consequences of a challenging behavior in order to reduce it
functional behavioral assessment (FBA)
determining the underlying function or purpose of behavior for intervention plan
functional communication training (FCT)
practices that replace a challenging behavior with more appropriate communication
modeling (MD)
demonstration of desired target behavior
music mediated intervention (MMI)
incorporates songs, melodies, rhythm to support skills
naturalistic intervention (NI)
techniques embedded in typical activities or routines
