24
Q

Identify the essential components of a written behavior education plan.

26
Q

Implement interventions based on modification of antecedents such as motivating/establishing operations and discriminative stimuli.

A

-Antecedent: modifications are made to antecedents by manipulating some aspect of the physical/social environment before the behavior occurs to prevent/reduce occurrences of maladaptive behavior.
-MO: altering the value/effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event (Deprivation/Satiation).
-Discriminative: cue or stimulus that is present when a behavior is reinforced and can be changed/manipulated to alter behavior.

27
Q

Implement differential reinforcement procedures.

A

-DR: reinforcing a desired behavior while withholding reinforcement for an undesirable behavior
-DRI: DR of Incompatible Behaviors
-DRA: DR of Alternate Behaviors
-DRO: DR of Other Behaviors
-DRL: DR of Low Rates

28
Q

Implement extinction procedures.

A

-Extinction: reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior is discontinued resulting in a decrease in the frequency of behavior.
-Extinction burst: a predictable, temporary increase in the rate and intensity of a behavior when an extinction procedure is first used.
-Spontaneous recovery: a behavior reappears after it has decreased or stopped entirely during extinction procedures.

29
Q

Implement crisis/emergency procedures according to protocol.
Prevention
Reaction

A

30
Q

Implement crisis/emergency procedures according to protocol.
-Restraints
-Incident

A

-Restraints: last resort when a person is a danger to self or others, discontinue quickly as soon as safe, report to supervisor and HR department.
-Incident: anything that causes an employee or client damage, report to supervisor immediately and contact HR department.

31
Q

Q

Generate objective session notes for service verification by describing what occurred during the sessions, in accordance with applicable legal, regulatory, and workplace requirements.

A

-Complete session notes objectively (disclosing only facts and actual information/observation) and professionally.
