Study Notes
Assessment
A-01: Conduct assessments to identify variables affecting behavior
- Identify and define problem behavior
- Gather data to identify variables maintaining behavior (e.g., antecedents, consequences)
- Use assessment tools (e.g., functional analysis, scatter plots) to identify functional relationships
A-02: Conduct preference assessments
- Identify reinforcers and their relative value
- Use methods (e.g., multiple-stimulus without replacement, paired-stimulus) to assess preferences
- Identify potential reinforcers for behavior change programs
A-03: Conduct skill assessments
- Identify skills to be taught or improved
- Use assessment tools (e.g., skill acquisition assessments, task analyses) to identify strengths and weaknesses
- Develop goals and objectives for skill acquisition programs
A-04: Interpret and summarize assessment data
- Analyze and interpret data from assessments
- Identify patterns and trends in data
- Summarize findings to inform behavior change programs
A-05: Develop and implement behaviour-analytic assessment procedures
- Develop procedures for conducting assessments (e.g., functional analysis, skill assessments)
- Implement procedures with fidelity
- Monitor and adjust assessment procedures as needed
Conducting Assessments
- Identify and define problem behavior to understand its underlying causes
- Gather data to identify variables maintaining behavior, including antecedents and consequences
- Use assessment tools, such as functional analysis and scatter plots, to identify functional relationships between variables
Conducting Preference Assessments
- Identify reinforcers and their relative value to determine their effectiveness in behavior change
- Use methods, such as multiple-stimulus without replacement and paired-stimulus, to assess preferences and identify potential reinforcers
- Identify potential reinforcers for behavior change programs to increase their effectiveness
Conducting Skill Assessments
- Identify skills to be taught or improved to address skill deficits
- Use assessment tools, such as skill acquisition assessments and task analyses, to identify strengths and weaknesses
- Develop goals and objectives for skill acquisition programs to guide instruction
Interpreting and Summarizing Assessment Data
- Analyze and interpret data from assessments to identify patterns and trends
- Identify patterns and trends in data to inform behavior change programs
- Summarize findings to develop effective behavior change programs
Developing and Implementing Assessment Procedures
- Develop procedures for conducting assessments, such as functional analysis and skill assessments
- Implement procedures with fidelity to ensure consistency and accuracy
- Monitor and adjust assessment procedures as needed to ensure they remain effective
Selecting and Implementing Interventions
- Identify the importance of selecting effective interventions based on client needs, resources, and environmental factors
- Consider the following factors when selecting interventions:
- Functional assessment results
- Client's preferences and values
- Cultural and linguistic diversity
- Available resources and constraints
- Potential risks and side effects
- Implement interventions based on evidence-based practices and best available research
- Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions and make data-driven decisions
- Consider the use of single-subject designs to evaluate intervention effectiveness
