After the initial phone call, you met with Jeanette to conduct a parent interview for your indirect assessment. The parent interview provided some crucial information you need to complete your FBA. Listen to the recording to learn more about the information you collected during the interview.
Conduct a functional behavior assessment (FBA)
Apply the single-subject research design to this FBA.
First, complete an Indirect Assessment with those who are familiar with Axel:
Fill out your interview form (created in the Unit 3 assignment) based on the interview completed with Axel’s mom.
Then, review Axel’s diagnostic report. On Axel’s diagnostic report, Axel was diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder at Level 3, requiring very substantial support. Explain the deficits that someone with this diagnosis might exhibit.
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
Based upon information gathered during the indirect assessment, schedule direct observation visits at the times, and in the environments where the target behaviors are likely to occur.
Based on the information collected, you choose to target tantrum behavior. Next, create an operational definition for tantrum behavior and choose the dimension of the behavior you will be targeted. Lastly, create a line graph of the provided data for baseline. (In your Unit 9 Assignment, you will be designing a behavior intervention plan (BIP) based on this behavior).
Baseline data:
Day 1: 10m, 15m, 12m, 15m
Day 2: 8m, 7m, 10 m, 5m, 11m
Day 3: 20m, 18m, 5m
Day 4: 12m, 11m, 9m, 10m
Day 5: 19m, 22m, 8m
Explain your choice for selecting tantrums for your target behavior.
Summarize three the considerations you must take into account when selecting a target behavior when a client exhibits multiple interfering behaviors.
Collect direct observation data using the most appropriate forms for the behavior and setting. Complete the following measurement forms for your chosen behavior:
Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence Form (Hint: You must identify the antecedents and consequences before you can hypothesize the function of the behavior(s). Behavior plans based upon the probable function of the behavior(s) are more effective.)
Frequency Data Sheet OR Duration Datasheet
Based upon the indirect and direct assessment results, identify the target behavior’s probable function.
Summarize the information collected during the indirect assessment and direct assessment in the Functional Behavior Assessment Report for Parents (FBARP) for Axel’s parents in understandable terms. Include in the FBARP three projected positive outcomes of addressing the target behavior with a behavior intervention plan (BIP).
