points_about_the_unit_7_assignment.docxI wanted to discuss some important points about the Unit 7 Assignment. This assignment consists of a scenario in which you, as an independent Behavior Analyst, have been contacted by an educational and/or human services provider who is requesting your services to develop a behavior intervention plan for an individual who is receiving their services. You will have to create a scenario in which you will specify the referral problem (example: services are being requested to address aggression and disruptive behavior in the classroom setting by a 13-year-old male student who recently moved from another state and is new to the school). You will need to describe the provider that requested your services (e.g. Betty Boop, Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Orange County Public Schools), a description of the client (e.g.13-year-old Caucasian male whose parents were recently divorced), and provide an operational definition of the presenting problem behavior(s). Try to be creative in your development of this scenario.
The main theme of the assignment is that the staff that will be in this meeting thinks that a behavior plan can be easily developed on the spot during this meeting. It is your goal to provide information to the members of this meeting about the purpose of Functional Behavioral Assessment by discussing 3 Indirect Functional Assessment procedures and 3 Direct Descriptive Functional Behavioral Assessment procedures that you may be implementing to understand the function of the presenting problems.
