Data Collection
Purpose of ABC data.
Supports the identification of a behavior function; a data collection method that help to identify the function of a behavior.
Implemented before a behavior occurs
Antecedent modifications
Appropriate behaviors that are taught
Replacement behaviors
Either follows the occurrence of a problem behavior or replacement behavior
Consequence Manipulations
"RBTs are honest and work to support an environment that promotes truthful behaviors in others"
Ethics code 1.01
Assess behavior function
Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)
A daily written or visual schedule
Activity Schedule
Key to reducing problem behavior over time
Replacement behaviors
Withholding any preferred activity/attention/escape that was previously given as reinforcement
Extinction
"RBTs are aware that their personal biases and challenges that may impact their ability to effectively carry out their behavior technician services."
Ethics code 1.09
Components of the BIP (5)
Operational Definition, Function? Measurement?, Antecedent modifications, Replacement Behaviors, and Consequence Manipulations
Individual is taught to use a form of communication which results in accessing the same reinforcement as the problem behavior
Functional Communication Training (FCT)
Enter if you dare:)
FREE SPACE Congratulations!!
2 primary components for consequences
increase appropriate behaviors, decrease challenging/maladaptive behaviors
"RBTs conduct themselves in a professional manner during all work activities."
Ethics code 2.03
"This is fun/makes me feel better!"
"I don't want to do that."
"Pay attention to me."
"I want that!"
The four functions of behavior; sensory, escape, automatic, tangible
Presenting an SD a different way to avoid behaviors that are generally set off by specific words
SD modification
Replacement behaviors must be...
Functionally equivalent, Easier, Taught
Appropriate functional alternative behaviors are reinforced
Differential Reinforcement
"RBTs do not share identifying information about clients on social media."
Ethics code 2.09
Maintains the behavior
What's The Function (WTF???)
Helps reduce the client's need to engage in challenging behaviors
Antecedent modifications
Examples of skills taught as replacement behaviors (4) *hint...each one matches a function of behavior:)
Gaining Attention (A), Basic Manding (T), Waiting (E), Vocal/Nonvocal Inhibition (S)
Used to minimize reinforcement for a challenging behavior and increase reinforcement of a desired behavior
Consequence Manipulations
No BIP?
Ensure safety of all individuals, attempt to avoid reinforcing the behavior, redirect to another activity, once compliance is gained transition to another activity.
