ABA assessment and Intervention Design Assignment
Define the target behaviors you would like to decrease or increase.  You can utilize any definition (label) or form that you can think of, but make sure that it corresponds to the scenario that you have selected and that your definition is as clear as possible (see lecture slides that described operational definitions).  Make sure your definition corresponds to the dimension of “behavioral” as outlined by Baer, Wolf, & Risley (1968).

Identify how you would have assessed the function of problem behavior (if applicable) and support your approach/strategy using examples from the behavior-analytic literature as well as the factors associated with the scenario you have selected.  If you are selecting target behavior(s) to increase, describe how you will assess the person’s current level of skill/fluency.

Identify a behavior-analytic approach you may recommend for this scenario to attempt to help the people described in it.  For example, you may recommend a form of differential reinforcement, extinction, antecedent strategies, or even punishment procedures if you believe they are necessary.  Describe how you would apply these approaches (e.g. prompting and reinforcement procedures). Explain your rationale. Explain your rationale.
