Module 1: Many Faces of Autism
ASD stands for this.
What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?
This means that you first give a child a chance to show you what they can do and you provide assistance only when needed.
What is Presumed Competence?
This is a science in which tactics are derived from the principles of behavior which are applied systematically to improve behavior.
What is Applied Behavior Analysis or ABA?
This is a term used to describe how new behaviors and skills are learned.
What is Skill Acquisition?
This signals the beginning of the trial and that reinforcement is available.
What is a discriminative stimulus or SD?
People with this experience a wide range of abilities and challenges in social communication, restricted interests or patterns of behavior, sensory processing, cognition and information processing, and emotion regulation.
What is Autism?
This is something you should NOT do to build a positive relationship with a child you work with.
What is make a lot of demands/ask the child a lot of questions?
This is anything you can observe someone doing and/or Any action taken in response to the environment.
What is a Behavior?
This is response, skill, or behavior that is the focus of the intervention.
What is a Target Behavior?
This is an analysis of the purposes (functions) of problem behavior, in which antecedents and consequences representing those in the person's natural routines are arranged within an experimental design so that their separate effects on problem behavior can be observed and measured.
What is Functional Behavior Analysis?
Difficulties with this may mean that people with ASD are often anxious, easily stressed, experience meltdowns, have low frustration tolerance, or have reactions that appear extreme for the situation.
What is emotion regulation?
This person is your first resource for questions or concerns about the client and responsible for the work you do with the client.
What is your supervisor?
This helps clients realize that they did something great and motivates them to do it again.
This is a goal that specifies the expected change in behavior or response by how much, how frequent, and/or what standard or level of change is expected.
What is a Measurable Goal?
This is a stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest.
What is a Consequence?
People with autism often have differences in this such as lights, sounds, smells, tastes, movement and touch. These may be perceived more or less strongly than in a person without autism.
What is their sensory systems?
To follow through with the work assigned to you by a supervisor it is appropriate to communicate about the client by using this rather than their first and last name.
What is their Client Code (first 2 initials, last 2 initials)?
This person is a paraprofessional who practices under the close, ongoing supervision of a BCBA or BCaBA.
What is a Registered Behavior Technician/RBT?
The three-term contingency describes the relationship between these three things.
What are Antecedents, behaviors, and consequences?
These are those things that happen inside of an individual but may not be seen, like their thoughts, physiological reactions, medical and biological factors, all of those also affect behaviors.
What are Private Events?
A person with autism that focuses repeatedly on a special topic or interest is known as this.
What is a restricted interest / perseverative interest?
This is when an individual is active in making the decisions that impact their life.
What is Self-advocacy?
This is the way ABA refers to an object, event or situation that cues a change in behavior.
What is Stimulus/ stimuli?
The three parts of the discrete trial are these.
What are discriminative stimulus, response, and consequence?
Behaviors identified in a behavior intervention plan that serves the same function as the interfering behavior and are more appropriate or acceptable is called this.
What is a Replacement Behavior?
