Formal behavior plan:

Generalization and maintenance section:

How to fade treatment and eliminate the need for services

Service authorization

Formal approval to provide behavioral services

Service authorization: Required by...

Funding sources paying for services

ABA flowchart

Shows sequence of events during behavior plan implementation

Implementation

Putting the program procedures into effect

Implementation: Best accomplished through

A clearly written set of task-analyzed procedures

Program meetings: Who attends?

Behavior analyst, behavior technicians, and caregivers

Program meetings: What happens? (2):

(1) Review progress (2) Solve program implementation problems

Troubleshooting

Systematic search for problem and solution

Peer review committee: Who sets it up?

State, institution, or agency

Peer review committee: What does it do?

Provides review, feedback, oversight, and approval for behavior programs

HRC stands for

Human rights committee

HRC: What they protect

Consumer's basic, constitutional, and legal rights

HRC: What they do

Review and approve or reject service plans

Restrictive procedures

Limit or control an individual's rights in some way

Function-based treatment: Way it works (3)

(1) Eliminates the SR contingency (2) Alters the MO (3) Establishes new behavior with the SRcontingency

Behavior maintained by social positive reinforcement: Common treatments (3)

(1) Extinction (2) Differential reinforcement (3) NCR

Behavior maintained by social negative reinforcement: Common treatments (3)

(1) Extinction (2) Differential reinforcement (3) Antecedent-based interventions

Behavior maintained by automatic reinforcement: Common treatments (3)

(1) Extinction (2) Differential reinforcement (3) Competing stimuli

Treatment suitability is determined by

Client characteristics, topography, and function of problem behavior, context, and resources, treatment fidelity, preferences

Influences behavior plan structure and content

(1) Best practice standards (2) Legal/administrative requirements

Behavior plan: Documents included (2)

(1) Formal behavior plan (2) Step-by-step intervention plan

Formal behavior plan: Types of monitoring (2)

(1) Implementation accuracy (2) Program effectiveness

Step-by-step intervention plan: Characteristics (3)

(1) Written in everyday language (2) Functions as a task analysis of plan procedures (3) Instructs implementers on what to do and not do

Interviews, case management meetings, observations, and probes are examples of

Ways to troubleshoot in ABA

When prior approval is required to implement (2)

(1) Restrictive program procedures (2) Dangerous consumer behavior

Examples of restrictive procedures

Punishment, negative reinforcement, deprivation of certain stimuli, restraint

Extinction of SR+

Non delivery or termination of attention or tangible item - Highly Effective - Potential for behavior to worsen before it gets better - Restricts access to SR+ - High-level integrity required, but may be difficult

DRO for SR+

Delivery of attention or tangible item for the absence of responding - EXT component - SR+ component - No functional replacement skills taught - High-level integrity required

DRA for SR+

Delivery of attention or tangible item for appropriate alternative response - Functional alternative to SIB - High-level integrity required

NCR for SR+

Delivery of attention or tangible item independent of SIB - Ease of implementation - No functional replacement skills taught

DNRO

Provide functional reinforcer contingent on absence of problem behavior for a specified amount of time

DNRA

Provide escape from, or avoidance of, aversive stimulus contingent on an appropriate alternative response - With or without EXT

Antecedent-Based Interventions (3)

1) NCE 2) Demand (or instructional) fading 3) Curricular (or instructional) revision

NCE

Escape or break from aversive stimulus on time-based schedule independent of responding - Initial schedule: Usually dense - Increase time between reinforcer deliveries

Demand (or instructional) fading

Aversive stimulus removed and then gradually reintroduced contingent on low levels of problem behavior
