Category: Applied behavior analysis (ABA)

For the week 5 assignment, you will focus on writing about Elimination Diets, a controversial treatment used for individuals with autism, but is not behavior analytic. This is your assigned topic for Week 5, and you must write about elimination diets in relation to individuals with autism. this assignment has two parts: a video presentation (five minutes maximum) and a written reflection. In the video, you will role-play a mock conversation with a clients family about the assigned treatment. You will not use a real client. You may use a friend or family member to play the caregiver, or you can complete the role-play on your own by either saying both parts of the conversation or saying only your part and pausing when it would be the other persons turn. In the reflection, you will explain what you learned from the role-play. You will identify the sources you used, reflect on your conversation, consider the role of soft skills, and discuss which ethics codes are most important when evaluating nonevidence-based treatments. Together, these parts will help you practice evaluating a controversial treatment, applying the Ethics Code, and communicating with a client’s family. Detailed Instructions Part 1: Video Presentation View the Week 5 topic in the Announcements. Read and select at least 3 of the articles from each of the following categories in the Week 5 announcement. One scholarly source about the assigned procedure. One behavior-analytic source on how to determine if a procedure is evidence-based and behavior analytic. One behavior-analytic source on soft skills and/or communication strategies. Use the Week 5 Script Template [DOCX] to create a transcript for the hypothetical conversation with a client’s family. With the family you will: Explain the assigned controversial treatment and how it is used as a treatment for autism. Discuss one pro and one con of using the controversial treatment as an intervention. Explain how behavior analysts determine if a procedure is behavior-analytic and evidence-based, with an example of a behavior analytic procedure that meets these criteria. Consider providing an example of a treatment that may be an appropriate alternative to this controversial treatment. When determining if a procedure is behavior analytic, consider the seven dimensions of ABA and if the treatment meets the criteria of all seven. Explain the importance of using evidence-based and behavior-analytic strategies. Select at least three BACB ethics codes from the following list that would be violated if the treatment were implemented: Week 5 Ethics Codes [PDF]. For each code, state the code number, title, and a brief description, and explain how implementing the treatment would violate the code. Record a video role-playing the conversation (5 minutes maximum). You may use a friend/family member to play the other role. If no one is available, record yourself reading both parts. Do NOT use a real client’s family; this is a hypothetical conversation. Upload your video to Canvas My Media to obtain a Kaltura link that will go in your reflection paper.

Assignments one and two are related. My topic and draft are outlined below. I need both assignments done. My topic is Improving Operational Readiness at the 4 Engineer Battalion through Optimized Logistics and Supply Chain Management Practices.

The application of applied behavior analysis consultation across schools and organizations has similarities and differences with regard to the overall objectives, assessment procedures, interventions, monitoring, and maintenance. In this discussion, compare and contrast the use of ABA across these environments, making sure to highlight the similarities and differences within the consultative process in clinical vs. OBM-focused work. Given this information, explain how you think your approach to consultation would differ across these environments. Be sure to cite your sources to support your opinions.

Discussion Forum #2 Directions (SCROLL DOWN FOR GENERAL DISCUSSION GUIDELINES)

Assigned Reading:

Penney, A. M., Bateman, K. J., Veverka, Y., Luna, A. C., & Ilene Sharon Schwartz. (2023). Compassion: The Eighth Dimension of Applied Behavior Analysis. Behavior Analysis in Practice.

SATURDAY NIGHT BEFORE MIDNIGHT: After reading the article, write your initial discussion post, in which you should address the following:

1. (1) First, describe whether or not you would advocate for compassion as an added dimension of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and why or why not. (2) Next, describe two primary pieces of information that stood out to you within the article. (3) Lastly, relate those primary points to your current or previous work experience within ABA.
2. Make sure to include in-text citations with page numbers (see examples below).
3. Length of response is not as important as the content; aim for a complete but concise post.

SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE MIDNIGHT: Review classmates’ posts and respond to two classmates that have not yet received a response.

• You are encouraged to make connections with the classmate in the post and affirm your classmate’s response or respectfully provide additional information on a different perspective. Please be sure to mention course-specific content in your response. Your response should add a layer of depth to the conversation, not serve primarily as behavior-specific feedback.
• Make sure to include in-text citations with page numbers that direct the reader to the locations in the article that prompted your responses (see examples below).

GENERAL DISCUSSION GUIDELINES

Discussion posts (initial posts and responses to classmates) should be written professionally. Make connections to the weeks assigned readings with in-text citations that include page numbers, even if you are not providing a direct quotethis will help the readers locate the sources that inspired your responses. (Note: In APA-style papers, you are only required to provide page numbers with quotations.) In-text citations should follow one of these formats:

• As a parenthetical expression: …….(Cook et al., 2019, p. 23).
• As part of the narrative: As Cook et al. (2019) noted, “…………” (p. 23).

For these forums, if you refer only to the directed articles for the discussion, you do not need to include a reference section.

Instructions For this assignment, you will fill out the DSM-5 Intervention Matrix Template [DOCX], as a foundation for your ASD treatment plan you will complete in the Weeks 7 and 9 assignments. Download and save DSM-5 Intervention Matrix Template [DOCX] to your computer. Review the Core Autism Symptoms and Behavior Analytic Intervention table in this template. Define operationally one behavior that would fall under each category. You may review the Gilliam Autism Rating Scale-2 (GARS-2) Sample Results [DOCX] (or other resources) for some possibilities. Behaviors can be something you are actually seeing as a clinician (remember to leave out all names and identifying information), or can be hypothetical behaviors or behaviors you find in a case study. Make sure definition is observable and measurable, clearly stated, and includes examples and non-examples. Review the peer-reviewed literature to find behavior analytic intervention that would be appropriate for that particular behavior. You might start your search by reviewing evidence-based practices in this week’s readings. Week 5: DSM-5 Potential Intervention Matrix Links to an external site. reading list. Make sure the intervention is behavior analytic and has a strong scientific evidence base. Review the literature to find at least two peer-reviewed journal articles that support that intervention. One must have been written in the last 5 years. (Contact instructor if you are unable to find this.) Be sure to consider functions (hypothetically if needed) when reviewing the literature, if you are targeting a challenging behavior. Fill out the remainder of the DSM-5 Intervention Matrix Template. Write an ABA intervention strategy you could use, and cite your chosen journal articles. (This should be 24 paragraphs.) Remember that you could combine several strategies (you don’t have to for purposes of this assignment), or you can use the same strategy for different behaviors (differences would be found as you develop your comprehensive plan). Note: This should be written below the table in the template, after the “ABA Intervention Strategy” header. Overall, your assignment submission will be assessed based on the following criteria: Define at least one behavior for each of the seven DSM-5 criteria: Deficits. Identify at least one behavior analytic intervention for the defined behavior for each of the seven DSM-5 criteria: Deficits.
