PP applied behavior analyst

You will be composing PowerPoint slides and using voice-over
narration. Your PowerPoint slides should contain bullet points that you
then describe and elaborate on in your narration. You should avoid long
lengths of text in your slides. Stick to short sentences and bullet
points.
Prepare your presentation in a way that presents a professional image
to your clients. Your narration should be consistent with the culture
and characteristics of behavior analysis. The language you use should be
behavioral and you should avoid mentalistic wording and explanations.
Relate your understanding of how behavior analysts perform in the work
setting through your slides and tone.
Your PowerPoint must be your original work; plagiarism will not be
tolerated. Be sure to review the Syllabus in terms of what constitutes
plagiarism. Please make sure to provide proper credit for those sources
used in your case study analysis in proper APA format. Please see the
APA Quick Reference for any questions related to APA citations. You must
credit authors when you:
Summarize a concept, theory, or research
Use direct quotes from the text or articles
In this assignment, you will play the role of a Behavior Analyst
working with a family in the home setting. You have already conducted
your interview with the family and have conducted the Functional
Behavior Assessment for the behaviors identified in the referral (See Referral Form and Brief Summary of
the Functional Behavior Assessment). You are ready to begin your
intervention plan, but you need to get the parents’ approval first. In a
meeting with the parents, you describe your behavior intervention plan
and provide a rationale for your intervention choices. You will prepare a
narrated PowerPoint that covers the following topics:
Behavior Excess for Decrease: Skin Picking
Define the target behavior by writing a 1–2 sentence operational definition that meets all of the following criteria:
Observable
Passes the “Dead Man’s” test and the “stranger” test
Uses no labels or hypothetical constructs
Explain the difference between habit behaviors and behaviors controlled by social reinforcers.
Explain how you plan to implement all four components of habit reversal with this client. Include a specific competing response.
Explain why you expect this procedure to be effective, including a
description of the applicable behavioral principles that explain why
habit procedures work to reduce habit behaviors.
Behavior Deficits for Increase: The Mand and the Tact
Begin by explaining to the parents the difference between the
behavioral view of language and the cognitive view of language.
Accurately represent the behavioral view of how language is learned.
Define the two verbal operants you plan to teach, i.e., the mand and
the tact. Clearly differentiate between the two by providing examples
for the parents. Your definitions should include the controlling
antecedents and consequences for each verbal operant.
Identify which verbal operant you will teach first and explain your rationale for this choice.
Explain your procedures for teaching each verbal operant. Include details of what a typical teaching session would look like.
In your description of how you will teach a mand, identify:
A specific mand to teach
How you will set up the relevant motivating operation
A description of how you will use shaping to teach the new verbal operant
Include how you will prompt and differentially reinforce the mand (identifying the reinforcement to be used).
How you will fade your prompts
In your description of how you will teach a tact, identify:
A specific tact to teach
How you will set up the relevant discriminative stimuli
A description of how you will use shaping to teach the new verbal operant
Include how you will prompt and differentially reinforce the tact (identifying the reinforcement to be used).
