Make it Measurable
Intervention goals should describe behavior that can be seen and measured.
Observable and measurable
Intervention selection should begin with the results of this.
An assessment
A behavior taught in place of problem behavior is called this.
Replacement behavior
RBTs collect this to show whether behavior is changing.
Data
A temporary increase in problem behavior when extinction first begins is called this.
Extinction burst
“Remain seated during independent work for 10 consecutive minutes” is an example of this type of goal.
Measurable goal
Client likes and dislikes are called these.
Preferences
Teaching a client to ask for a break instead of hitting is an example of this procedure.
FCT
Following a treatment plan correctly is called this
Treatment integrity
Aggression, emotional responding, or new behaviors may be examples of these.
Unwanted side effects
Frequency, duration, and percentage are examples of this part of a goal.
A treatment should be supported by this, not just someone's opinion.
Research
The replacement behavior should help the client access the same thing as the problem behavior. This is called the behavior's _____.
Function
Level, trend, and variability can be viewed on this.
A graph
Staff should continue following this when problem behavior increases during treatment
Treatment plan
The amount of behavior required for the goal to be considered met is called this.
Performance criterion
Staff training and available materials can affect whether a plan will do this.
Work in the setting
Staff should provide this after the client uses the replacement behavior correctly.
Reinforcement
Before deciding a treatment is not working, staff should make sure the plan was implemented this way.
Correctly/as written
When a behavior that previously decreased comes back, this is called this.
Target behavior, measurement system, performance criterion, and relevant context are the four parts of this.
Well-written goal
RBTs should implement treatment plans this way.
As written
If the replacement behavior takes too much effort, the client may return to this.
Problem behavior
RBTs should report concerns about treatment or changes in client behavior to this person.
The BCBA
Teaching and practicing skills with different people and in different settings can help support this.
