Study Notes
- The text emphasizes the importance of integrating goals and objectives into everyday activities for individuals with adaptive skills and maladaptive behaviors, including infants and preschoolers.
- Assessments like Curriculum Based Assessments for Preschool and older, ABLLS-R, SCERTS, Ziggurat, and CAPS are used to determine functioning levels, determine Individualized Education Program (IEP) and/or Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) goals, and monitor progress.
- Assessments cover various skills such as requesting (manding), labeling (tacting), intraverbals, social skills, play skills, motor skills, concept development, writing, imitation skills, and communication skills.
- Goal monitoring is important for educational teams to prioritize goals and embed objectives into activities, assess engagement and intervention effectiveness, and make timely adjustments if progress is slow.
- Resources like guides, manuals, and data sheets offer ideas for curriculum activity embedding and monitoring tools, as well as comprehensive guidance on implementing applied behavior analysis strategies.
- Goal Attainment Scaling is a personalized, measurable goal-setting approach used in research and education to measure intervention impact on individualized goals, employing a uniform 5-point scale for progress tracking based on specific dimensions.
- Program evaluation involves assessing outcomes to determine if a program effectively meets its stated objectives, with effective programs characterized by positive behavior support plans, efficient instructional time management, data-driven accountability systems, regular student feedback, high expectations, and positive, supportive interactions with students.
- The Autism Environmental Rating Scale (APERS) assesses program components for implementing evidence-based practices across preschool-elementary and middle-high school settings, identifying strengths and areas for improvement in ASD programs.
- The text mentions various assessments and resources, but does not provide specific details on the scope or methodology of the research or studies referenced.
