Unit 6 Flashcards
Referral/screening Indirect assessment Descriptive assessment Preference assessment Functional analysis
5 activities to complete prior to the BIP
Indicate client & caregiver bx change
Based on functional assessment
Conceptually systematic
Fits with values, resources, &skills Includes SR+ &least intrusive procedures
5necessary features of a behavior plan
Staff/caregiver issuesFunding/administrative support
Time & availability of BCBA
3 considerations to evaluate prior to BIP
Determine if procedures are effective &realistic in natural environment
Use of probes in the BIP
Formal
Step-by-step
2 types of behavior intervention plans
For the clinical record, described in conceptual terms, linked to outcome statements
Formal behavior plan
Brief guide for caregivers/staff, written to avoid jargon,&functions as task analysis
Step-by-step intervention plan
Client name, birth, date of plan, name/credential of BIP creator, current status of plan
Basic informationlistedin BIP
Describes the broad goal of services & why the individual needs them
Rationale for BIP
Statements about lifestyle changes to enhance an individual’s quality of life
Outcomes
Family profile Living situation Educational/job status Preferred/non-preferred activities/foods Special skills Functional deficits Social relationships Other professional services received
Consumer profile information in the BIP
Important medical issues that may/may not be related to issues in BIP
Diagnostic and medical information in the BIP
List of prescribed medications that could affect bx
Medication in the BIP
Medications used for behavioral purposes
Psychotropic medication
Medication’s indirect effect on behavior
Secondary effect
Medication’s direct effect on behavior
Side effect
Descriptive assessment tool used
Who was interviewed # of observations made
Time period of assessment
Pattern and sequence analysis
Functional assessment information in the BIP
List of reduction target bx’s & their operational definitions
Problem behavior in the BIP
Predicts the onset of the target bx for reduction
Precursors
Only includes the bx in the operational definition
Response definitions
Includes both antecedents and the bx in the operational definition
Functional response definitions
Identifies potential reinforcers to assist with interventions based on SR+
Preference assessment in the BIP
Bx taught to displace problem bx & help the individual meet a functional need
Replacement behavior
For every behavior targeted for reduction, appropriate bx is targeted for increase
“Fair Pair”
Antecedent-based interventions
Consequence-based interventions
Teaching strategies/protocols
3 main elements of a formal BIP
Procedures to prevent occurrences of problem bx
Antecedent-based interventions
Procedures to decrease problem bx over time
Consequence-based interventions
Procedures to teach alternative responses & other skills
Teaching strategies/protocols
Where the BIP will be in effect(home, school, work, etc.)
Target environments in the BIP
Numerically quantifies bx for tracking and evaluation over time
Response measures in the BIP
Based on environmental assessment, target bx characteristics& available resources
Selection of response measures
Dimensional quantities
Dimensionless quantities
2 main types of response measures
Who will collect data
What type of data will be collected
When collection periods will occur
How long data collection periods will last
Data collection of response measures in BIP
Gives precise instructions on data collection procedures
Data collection in the step-by-step BIP
Outlines data processes by identifying how &to whom the data will be reported
Data collection in the formal BIP
Assesses treatment integrity of procedures written in the BIP
Reliability checks
Ensures consistency when implementing the behavior plan
Training plan in BIP
Includes who, what, and where to train, length of training & type of competency check
Characteristics of the BIP training plan
Individual demonstrates mastery in demonstrating various skills during training
Competency-based training
Who will monitor and for how long, what tool to use, & how feedback is delivered
Characteristics of BIP monitoring plan
Procedures to obtain generalization of the broad behavior plan results
Generalization in the BIP
Indicates consent & authorization for implementing the plan
Signatures & consents in the BIP
Helps caregivers recall target bxs, definitions, program components, etc.
Data sheets linked to the BIP
Consumers give explicit written permission of all BIP components
Consent
Additional approval required from those with direct legal responsibility for consumer safety
Prior administrative approval
Interventions which restrict an individual’s rights in some way
Restrictive procedures
Supportive/protective devices
Contingently applied restraints
Emergency procedures
3 types of restraints
Occurs before implementation Ongoing Competency-based Provide opportunity for feedback Supervisor-involvement in live setting
5 characteristics of BIP training
Meetings with caregiver to discuss program progress & challenges
Program meetings
Regularly occurring
Scheduled in advance
A safe place to discuss ideas &failures
Document decisions in writing
4 key elements for program meetings
Behavior analysts who review BIPs in their local area
Peer review
Peer Review Committee Human Rights Treatment Committee Advocacy groups State identified oversight boards Legal counsel (in rare cases)IRBs and HRCs (research oversight)
6 groups providing BIP oversight
Generalize BIP and transfer control to natural environment
Fading out behavior plans
End services once the identified quantified objectives in the BIP are reached
Terminate the case
Maintain case files for (destroy after a period of) 7 years
Timeline for storage/destruction of records
