What are the 3 domains of ASD? - ☑☑Social Communication Social Interaction Restrictive, repetitive patterns of behavior What are some red flags a child may be at risk for ASD? - ☑☑No big ... smiles or other warm, joyful expressions by 6 months or thereafter No babbling, back and forth sharing sounds, smiles, or expressions by 9 months Lack of response to name No back and forth gestures by 12 months (pointing, reaching, waving) No words by 16 months No two-word meaningful phrases (without imitating or repeating) by 24 months Any loss of speech, babbling, or social skills at any age Unusual Prosody (little variation in pitch, unusual voice quality) Explain the fundamental principle of ABA - ☑☑ABA - is a scientific approach, that uses the principles of learning to understand the relation of behaviors and the environment. -* Consequences that follow a behavior control whether that behavior will increase or decrease. What two components does a comprehensive ABA treatment program include? - ☑☑1. Behavior Reduction - change antecedents and consequences to decrease inappropriate behavior: stereotypy, noncompliance, tantrums, aggression, SIB 2. Skill Repertoire Building - increase appropriate behavior Behavior management and Skill Acquisition -> DTT & NET 3 levels of BACB certification? - ☑☑1. RBT - Registered Behavior Technician 2. BCABA - Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst 3. BCBA - Board Certified Behavior Analyst ABA treatment team consists of...? - ☑☑Supervisor, RBT, parents, caregivers, other professionals (Speech, OT...) Roles/responsibilities of RBT? - ☑☑- Direct implementation of skill acquisition and behavior reduction plans developed by the supervisor - Data collection- skill acquisition and behavior management - Assist with certain assessments (i.e. preference assessments) - Safety of the client Two roles of the BT in assisting with assessments? - ☑☑1. Provide information about clients' current skill set 2. Assist with behavior management and motivation during a formal assessment. 3. Does preference assessments What activities do most therapy sessions include? - ☑☑Preparation and clean up Rapport building - "pairing with client" Skill acquisition tasks Behavior management Data collection Explain the two types of formats that learning activities are performed in? - ☑☑1. DTT - Discrete Trial Training - More formal instruction, repetition of instructions, often conducted sitting down with specific materials being presented. 2. NET - Natural Environment Training - Less formal instruction, variety of instructions, centered on naturally occurring activities, moving around in natural environment. What does a BT collect data on? - ☑☑1. behavior reduction within the BIP & new behaviors 2. skill acquisition target 3 instances where a BT should call the supervisor on the case to relay information: - ☑☑1. client is sick (sessions are being cancelled) 2. Behaviors have unexpectedly increased 3. Parent expresses concerns or has questions 4. Changes in environment that are affecting therapy sessions 5. Client is having difficulty with a particular task/lesson. How can BT assist with parent training? - ☑☑- Model target skills and provide hands on support as parents learn to implement new producers with their child. - May teach parents how to teach new skills and manage behaviors - Provide positive feedback and support during a behavior What are some behaviors more commonly observed in individuals with autism? - ☑☑Task avoidance (noncompliance) Tantrums self-injurious behaviors (SIB) Aggression Stereotypy (self-stimulatory/repetitive body movements or behaviors) (hand flapping) What are the ABC's of behavior? - ☑☑A - Antecedent- what happens right before the behavior occurs B - Behavior - what specifically does the behavior look like C - Consequence - what happens right after or in response to the behavior What information in included in the Skills Acquisition Plan? - ☑☑specific instructions, expected correct response, specific target being taught, specific materials or stimuli being used, any other information related to the teaching of this skill. Define positive and negative reinforcement: - ☑☑positive reinforcement - technical term for getting good stuff when you do something correct. Negative reinforcement - escaping or taking away/removal of bad/negative stimuli *both increase or maintain behavior What are the 4 functions of problem behavior? - ☑☑1. Attention - someone gives attention for problem behavior 2. Tangible - someone gives access to a tangible item or activity for problem behavior. (Toys, food, activity) (Julie wants a cookie, she screams, mom gives cookie to keep her quiet) 3. Escape/Avoidance - someone allows escape from an aversive task upon problem behavior - discontinuing a task or demand once bad behavior presents. 4. Automatic - feels good to do it, not socially mediated, sensory stimulation Antecedent vs. Acquisition - ☑☑Antecedent - thing or event that occurred before, what happened before behavior occurred. Acquisition -the learning or developing of a skill, habit, or quality. Example of an antecedent modification: - ☑☑- Task Modification - Still have to do the same amount/all of the problems but they get to choose what order they want to do them in. - Demand Fading - reduce the amount of tasks the child must do - Noncontingent Reinforcement (NCR) - time based schedule, they get it for free no matter what. The behavior feels good. (for attention - pat Melony on the back overtime you pass by her chair - Functional Communication Training (FCT) - teach child to request access to the reinforcer (can't stand at refrigerator and cry anymore, must show a picture of juice) - Behavioral Momentum - (High P Low P) High Probability Low Probability - 3 High P, 1 Low P. Other examples of antecedent considerations to utilize for aggressive/dangerous clients: - ☑☑- Potentially dangerous items are removed from environment (scissors, hot coffee...) - Dress Accordingly - long sleeves, pants, hair pulled back. - Avoid exposed skin, no jewelry Define Extinction: - ☑☑Breaking the relationship between the behavior and reinforcer that previously followed it. No longer give the reinforcer for a previously reinforced behavior. (planned ignoring - attention, tangible - don't give her the cookie, escape - make them finish the demand) What is an extinction burst and when would it occur? - ☑☑The behavior will get worse before it will get better when implementing Extinction. Dramatic but temporary increase in problem behavior. NEVER GIVE IN!!! Explain Differential Reinforcement - ☑☑Reinforcement of some behaviors and not others. The results is an increase in desired behaviors that are reinforced and an elimination of problem behaviors that are not reinforced. (Reinforce desired behaviors AND don't reinforce (extinguish) undesired behavior) What are the three Differential Reinforcement (DR) procedures? - ☑☑1. Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA) - has both antecedent and consequence component. A specific appropriate response is taught to replace an inappropriate response. (Like FCT) 2. Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO) - presenting a reinforcer contingent on the absence of a problem behavior for a specified period of time. (Whole interval/momentary interval) 3. Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI) - an incompatible behavior that is impossible to occur simultaneously with the problem behavior is reinforced. (ex: hand mouthing -> playing with toys) What components are included in the behavior intervention plan (BIP)? (6) - ☑☑1. Operational definition - definition of the behavior in detail. 2. Hypothesize function - what behavior function 3. Antecedent Modifications 4. Replacement Behaviors 5. Consequence Modifications 6. Data Measurement What should you do if you observe a behavior that is not in the BIP? - ☑☑Take ABC data and extinction planned ignoring or which best fits the behavior. Let your supervisor know immediately What is the Safety Care curriculum designed for? (Crisis Management) - ☑☑Is designed to provide a set of skills and strategies that allow staff in a variety of setting to safely and humanely provide support to individuals who may sometimes exhibit disruptive or dangerous behavior. What behavioral instruction methods are incorporated into Safety Care? - ☑☑Errorless learning Task analysis Role-playing What are the three levels of safety care training? - ☑☑a. Level 1 Introduction b. Level 2 Specialist c. Level 3 Trainer Define Satiation: - ☑☑a. Consuming substantial amounts of a reinforce temporarily decrease reinforcing effectiveness b. Reduces the effectiveness of a reinforce ("I can't eat another hot dog") (Don't want to watch a movie later if you spent all day watching TV). What is Deprivation? - ☑☑a. Withholding a reinforce which increases reinforcing effectiveness b. Increases the effectiveness of a reinforce (Haven't had cookies all week!) Explain the three types of direct preference assessments: - ☑☑1. MSWO- Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement- Present array of 5-7 items and instruct the child to "pick one". Once selected, allow the child to access that item for 30 seconds. Af [Show More]
