Study Notes

Crisis Preparedness and Behavior Management

Punishment should always be paired with reinforcement of replacement behaviors to promote positive change.
Crisis plans are essential for individuals who exhibit self-injurious or aggressive behaviors, ensuring proper intervention strategies are in place.
Antecedent interventions aim to alter the environment and conditions to reduce the likelihood of crisis behaviors occurring.
Environmental manipulations create a safer setting for both the interventionist and the individual being supported during potential crisis situations.
A key issue with extinction as a behavior reduction method is that it fails to instruct individuals on alternative, replacement behaviors.
Interventions in a crisis plan should be based on the function of the behavior, which allows for targeted responses.
A crisis plan details preventative strategies and methods to respond effectively to crisis behaviors when they arise.
Antecedents are the contextual triggers that contribute to behaviors, encompassing the activities, settings, and social dynamics surrounding the individual.
A functional behavior assessment (FBA) must occur prior to accurate intervention planning, revealing important insights about crisis behaviors.
After experiencing a crisis, individuals should engage in pre-crisis tasks and activities to regain stability and routine.
Punishment is characterized as a stimulus following a response that lowers the chance of that response reoccurring in the future.
The Client section of a crisis plan should contain the individual's name, date of birth, and the creation date of the plan for identification and tracking purposes.
Behavioral functions encompass attention-seeking, tangible rewards, escape behaviors, and automatic reinforcement.
Physical interventions should only be implemented after less restrictive measures have been proven ineffective to ensure the least intrusive approach is taken.
For individuals exhibiting escape behaviors, it is vital to tailor antecedent interventions based on data collected from the FBA for effective support.
Differential Reinforcement combines reinforcement and extinction to encourage desirable behaviors while reducing the undesired ones.
An FBA is conducted to hypothesize the underlying function of behaviors, aiding in the development of effective intervention strategies.
Extinction is classified as a behavior reduction procedure, focusing on the removal of reinforcement for undesired behaviors.
A comprehensive crisis plan should consist of sections including Antecedent Interventions, Escalation, Crisis, and Post Crisis strategies for a thorough approach to managing potential crises.
