ABA506 Assignment 1
For 2 of the following scenarios, you will do the following:
1. Briefly describe how you will conduct a functional behavior assessment of the target behavior in the scenario (to meet ethical standards and demonstrate
evidence-based practice). Assessments may be informal for some of the scenarios, but they should be descriptive assessments based on direct and indirect
observations of behavior.
2. Provide a hypothesis statement about the function of the behavior based on the FBA.
3. For each scenario you choose, discuss 3 strategies you could use to either increase a desirable behavior, train a replacement behavior, and/or decrease an
undesirable behavior. The discussion of each strategy must include a description of the strategy and the rationale for using it (in at least 2 sentences).
