Presentation Transcript

  1. The Impact of Communication and Behavior on Learning/Evaluation • SpEd 417/517

  2. Guest Speaker

  3. Instruction • Integration and performance of cognitive, social, and motor skills • Communication Bill of Rights - • National Joint Committee for the Communicative Needs of Persons with Severe Disabilities, 1992 • Trend shift to multimodal communication • Six tenets

  4. Skill Development • Early communication • pre-linguistic skills • pragmatics • Intentionality • perlocutionary stage • illocutionary stage • locutionary stage

  5. Means & Functions • Means used for communicative functions • non-verbal • idiosyncratic behavior - eye poking, slapping, etc. • conventional means - pointing, words, etc. • Above means used to express communicative functions • behavioral regulation • social interaction • joint attention

  6. Assessment • Skills assessment • receptive and expressive language • ecological assessment • communication mode

  7. Augmentative and Alternative Communication • Family involvement • Gestural communication • Aided systems • Selection and use of AAC

  8. Instructional Strategies • Interaction style • Social exchanges • Interaction • Designing strategies • Naturalistic procedures • Interrupted chains • Conversational skill training • Van Dijk Method

  9. Challenging Behavior • Trends • Communicative intent • Behaviors may signify a more global problem

  10. Defining Problem Behavior • Stereotypic • Self-injurious • Aggressive • Socially inappropriate

  11. Functional Approach to Behavior Modification • Eliminative approach • Positive behavior support • Functional assessment • Support plan development • Plan implementation and evaluation

  12. Functional Assessment • Indirect assessment • Direct assessment • Setting events • Hypotheses development • Experimental analysis

  13. Components of a Functional Behavioral Assessment • Strengths • Problem behaviors • Desired behaviors • Slow triggers • Fast triggers • Actual consequence • Perceived function • Hypothesis

  14. Behavior Support Plan • Teach functionally equivalent communication skills • Develop support plan • long-term supports • replacement skills • prevention strategies • consequence strategies • ongoing assessment process • Reinforcement strategies • Consequent strategies

  15. Designing a Behavioral Intervention Plan • Consider one behavioral category • Stereotypic behavior • Self-injurious • Aggressive • Socially inappropriate

  16. Westling & Fox Chapter 9 • Evaluating student progress • Alternate assessment • Student portfolio assessment • Direct measurement procedures

  17. Alternate Assessment • Authentic skills • Skills across domains • Measures taken across time • Adequate supports • assistive devices • people • other supports • Serve to improve student programming

  18. Portfolio Assessment • schedule of student activities • daily log • incident record

  19. Direct Assessment • defining the behavior • observation of the behavior • recording the data • event recording • rate measures • partial-interval recording • momentary time sampling • latency measurement • duration measures • whole-interval recording • task analytic recording

  20. Direct Assessment • Data collection during baseline, instruction, and probe sessions • Data collection during generalization • Graphing direct measurement data • Interpreting graphs

  21. Activity Analysis • Generic response components identified • Discriminative stimuli that prompts target response • Range of stimulus characteristics • Response variation of the learner • Anticipated problems, errors, exceptions • Peer interaction
