  6. Understanding the function of behavior: Behavior is lawful When we understand why a student is demonstrating a behavior, we say that we understand the function of that behavior

  7. What does the “function” of the behavior mean?

  8. Obtain Desirable Events Avoid/Escape Undesirable Events Internal External Internal External Attention Objects/ Activities Objects/ Activities Attention • Difficult • tasks • Change in • routine • Interruption • of desired • activity • Rhythmic • rocking • Endorphin • release • Visual • stimulation • Smiles, • hugs • Frown, • scolding • Surprise • Smiles, • hugs • Frown, • scolding • Surprise • Sinus • pain • Skin • irritation • Hunger • Food • Preferrred • activity • Money

  9. Why is it important to identify the function of a behavior? • It is empirically validated as best practice

  10. Functional Assessment of Behavior (FBA)

  11. Strategies for Assessing Antecedents/Consequences

  12. Motivation Assessment Scalehttp://www.monacoassociates.com/mas/aboutmas.html • A 16-item survey that assists in developing a hypothesis about the function of the problem behavior

  13. Strategies for Antecedents/Consequences

  14. Scatterplot: An interval recording system that assists in determining if patterns of problem behavior exist during specific time periods

  16. If you don’t have a planYou’re planning to fail What do I do with all of this data? H. Wong, 1998

  17. Hypothesis Development

  18. What can we change?

  19. Setting Events: Conditions that increase the likelihood that the problem behavior will occur

  20. What can we change?

  21. Environmental Interventions

  22. What can we change?

  23. Stress and ASD

  24. Example: Writing • “having to engage in handwriting is the most significant and serious impediment to academic participation for students with autism spectrum disorders in schools in North America today. (Dr. Richard Simpson, 2007) • multiple tasks (printing and thinking) leads to “a system wide resource constraint”—blood and oxygen for each component task are reduced and coordination of brain decreases

  25. Make Problem Behavior……

  26. What is Reinforcement?

  27. Reinforcement is not a bribe!

  28. Choosing Reinforcers

  29. Schedules of Reinforcement
