Develop and implement a behavior intervention plaan tht is based on the data obtained in the functional behavioral assessment and is likely to create lasting behavior change.

FBA PRESENTATION

General Overview: Select THREE of the following targeted behaviors for reduction and create a 10-minute powerpoint presentation (video or voice over) that details the steps you would take to conduct a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA). You can use hypothetical scenarios to support your demonstration of ideas. Please keep in mind that the purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate your underestanding of the FBA process and your ability to gather pertinent information, gather relevant data, and access research to inform treatment.

Choices for targeted behaviors for reduction:
Self-injury
scratching
head banging
eye gouging
skin picking
pica (eating nonnutritious items)
skin rubbing
Physical aggression
hitting
kicking
punching
spitting
head banging
slapping
Self-stimulation
hand flapping
rocking
angling
Echolalia
pacing
verbal stereotypy
Task Refusal
Inappropriate sexual behaviors
Fecal smearing
Property destruction

Next, based on your understanding of the target behaviors, address the following points that pertain to essential FBA elements:

Clerarly define the target behavior in observable, measurable terms

Gather data using multiple sources to better understand the function of the behavior as well as antecedents that serve to strengthen or weaken the behavior. Please describe in detail the assessments you would use to inform this process

Complete a behavior pathway summary and form a hypothesis about the function and conditions under which the behavior is likely/not likely to occur. Please describe the steps you would take to forumlate a hypothesis (i.e., assessments, what questions would you ask, what steps would you take?)

Develop and implement a behavior intervention plaan tht is based on the data obtained in the functional behavioral assessment and is likely to create lasting behavior change. Please utilize peer reviewed articles and detail whata evidence based treatment is effective for the targeted behaviors you chose. Remember APA citations.

Guidelines for Submission: You will upload the Powerpoint to Blackboard for grading and feedback. Each of the questions listed above must be addressed in a concise and carefully thought out paper. Be sure to support your answers with citations from peer reviewed articles. Please remember to use APA format, proofread for grammatical and spelling errors.
