BEH PS365 Unit 9 Final Assignment Guide
As you move through the course, please start thinking about the
Final Project, which is due by the end of Unit 9. Your Final Project will
consist of an analysis of questions related to two separate case studies. Each
case presents a problem that you, the future ABA professional, will need to
assess. You will design an effective behavior modification program as well as a
plan to evaluate this program. Each case covers the theories, concepts, and
research discussed this term. Your answers to the questions should consist of
information from the text and supplemental readings.
Your primary sources should be the readings assigned for the
course, but you also may use sources from the Kaplan Library or other credible
Internet sources. These include:
Academic Search Premier
EBSCO
ERIC
Pub Med
This will help you demonstrate your mastery of the material
covered this term.
After reading each case, please fully answer the questions
below. Responses to the questions should be typed in a Word document,
double-spaced in 12-point font and submitted to the Dropbox. Most students will
need to write 3-4 typed pages for each case in order to address all required
parts of the Final Project.
Your final paper must be your original work; plagiarism will not
be tolerated. Be sure to review the Syllabus in terms of what constitutes
plagiarism.
Please make sure to provide proper credit for those sources used
in your case study analysis in proper APA format. Please see the APA Quick
Reference for any questions related to APA citations. You must credit authors
when you:
1. Summarize a concept, theory or research
2. Use direct quotes from the text or articles
Case Study 1: William
Ms. Tooley contacts you, an ABA analyst, to assist her with a
child in her classroom named William. William is a healthy 6-year-old boy who
has been terrorizing his classmates. The problem has been occurring since the
beginning of the school year. William pushes, kicks, hits or bites other
children in the class. This has often happened during recess time. Ms. Tooley
first addressed the issue by scolding William. That did not appear to reduce
the behavior, so she then required him to visit the principal’s office whenever
an episode of hitting/biting occurred. These visits also had little effect in
reducing the negative behaviors.
1. What is the target behavior(s) that you will
plan to address? Write a target behavior definition using terms that can be
observed and the appropriate behavior analytic language.
2. How would you first assess William? Discuss
the rationale for your choice of assessment.
3. Discuss one reason why the teacher’s original
methods of behavior management may have failed.
4. Design an effective behavior modification
program for William using a combination approach treatment package(two or more
behavior techniques from the relevant literature).
5. Discuss your rationale for selecting the
combination approach, drawing upon behavior theory.
6. Explain how you would evaluate the
modification program.
Discuss issues related to spontaneous recovery of behavior,
extinction and maintenance of desired behavior.
Case Study 2: Annie
Hospital Administrator Rodriguez contacts you because she is
experiencing difficulty with an ABA program that you designed for one of her
psychiatric patients, Annie. The patient, a 40-year-old schizophrenic female,
has been exhibiting a great deal of difficulty with a few daily care routines,
including brushing her teeth and making her bed in the morning. The program
that you originally designed was a token economy system in which she would earn
one token for each completed activity and then collect a reward (extra time in
the courtyard) once 10 tokens were obtained. Ms. Rodriguez reports that Annie
is not completing the tasks and then as a result, not earning any tokens. She
asks you to revisit the hospital to determine what is not working.
1. What are three possible issues that can occur
with a newly implemented behavior change program? Discuss what aspects of the
program you would want to check on first before making any changes.
2. Choosing one of the three potential issues,
elaborate on how this may be negatively impacting the program and how you could
address the problem to increase the likelihood that the program would work.
3. Provide a step by step alternative behavior
modification program (instead of the one presented) for Annie. Your new plan
must include the following:
1.
A description of the
data-based intervention that you have chosen.
2.
Your rationale for
using the intervention as supported by relevant literature (your text and
Journal articles)
3.
The overall behavior
goals associated with the use of the plan
4.
The step-by-step
procedures that the staff will take to implement the plan
5.
How data will be
collected
6.
How progress will be monitored
For this project you can refer to the syllabus to ensure
everything was answered properly

Please pay attention to question 6 of the project which is worth
more and need to be very detailed as far ration, data what you will graph and
what it will look like. You don’t to do a graph, but you need to explain one.
