    You are an experienced BCBA who is consulting at a startup ABA company. About si

    You are an experienced BCBA who is consulting at a startup ABA company. About six months ago, the owner asked you to design a shaping procedure for staff attendance. Good news! Your plan was effective! Staff attendance significantly improved in months two through four and reached desired levels in month five. However, in the last 3-4 weeks, the data reflects an increase in staff call outs. The owner will be opening a second location in about six months from now. They would like for attendance to return to the improved levels of month five and for that improved attendance to carry over to the new location.
    Discussion
    Please complete your assigned readings and respond to the following:
    Detail three approaches you could incorporate into the shaping procedure that would increase the probability of the desired attendance occurring in the new location, as well as future clinic locations.
    Explain how these three approaches increase generalization of modified behavior.
    Discuss why increasing generalization also increases the probability of response maintenance.
    Explain how technician evaluations align with the guiding principles for promoting generalized outcomes.
    Illustrate how the programming for generalization and maintenance are aligned with the BACB Ethics Code in maximizing client outcomes in a given setting and responsibility to supervisees and trainees.

    I will upload the capella compassion code
    Overview
    When working within a school district, it is important to know and understand all levels within the system from leadership down to the school and classroom level, all the way to the individual students receiving services. It will be important for you as a consultant to know and understand the roles and positions that will be essential for you to work directly with, as well as the roles and positions in leadership above you in the system. Attaining agreement for consultative behavior analytic support is essential at multiple levels within that system. In most cases, behavior analysts are the experts regarding behavior support and evidence-based instructional delivery; however, if we do not present our expertise respectfully, we risk damaging the opportunity to share our knowledge with others. This assignment will help you investigate the systems you will be working in and reflect on the cultural and relational aspects of the client/consultant relationship.

  • Certification by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) as a board cert

    Certification by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) as a board cert

    Certification by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) as a board certified behavior analyst (BCBA) is different and a separate qualification than licensure of behavior analysts at the individual state level. How behavior analysts practice in schools is determined by licensure laws and regulations, depending on the state. Licensure holds more power than certification and impacts the way in which you can practice. This assignment will help you discover if licensure exists in your state and how that affects how behavior analysts practice in schools.
    Preparation
    To prepare for this assignment, complete the following:
    Research the licensure requirements for a behavior analyst in your state. Visit U.S. Licensure of Behavior Analysts Links to an external site. to get started.
    If your state does not require licensure, research the requirements in a nearby state.
    Review the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA Links to an external site..
    Research your state’s special education laws.
    Research any other requirements that may exist at the state level that would affect a behavior analyst’s practice in public school settings.
    Instructions

    Describe at least 2–3 differences and similarities between BACB certification and state licensure.
    Discuss the state licensure requirements for behavior analysts in your state.
    If licensure does exist, what are the requirements to become licensed? What board or council has governance over the behavior analyst license? What does the license allow you to do? What are the limitations? What are the pros and cons of having a licensure requirement at the state level?
    If there is no licensure requirement in your state, research a nearby state and answer the questions above.
    Explain how licensure requirements, or the absence of licensure, affect a behavior analyst’s practice in public school settings. What limitations exist if any?
    Identify and discuss any other specific guidance at the state level (licensure board, state professional association of behavior analysis, state department of education) that affect a behavior analyst’s practice in public school settings.
    Special Education Law
    Explain the role of the behavior analyst on an individualized education program (IEP) team according to the federal law (IDEA).

    Once a week, you will write a brief journal entry (1-2 paragraphs) explaining ho

    Once a week, you will write a brief journal entry (1-2 paragraphs) explaining how a recent social interaction demonstrates a concept discussed in lecture. Each entry is worth a maximum of 5 points. Points will be awarded based on how clearly you described the social interaction and how accurately you related it to a social psychology concept. Journal entries will be made – and available for others to view – on this discussion forum. Each will be due at 11:59PM on Sunday night between Weeks 1-10. Click on the “Reply” button below to begin your entry.
    Example journal entry:
    Today as I was driving into work, a car cut me off on I-5 and almost caused me to rearend him. I was furious. I drove up next to him to look into his car and saw exactly what I was expecting: a young, a male driver. I immediately thought, “what an asshole!” My assumption that his behavior (cutting me off) was a product of his disposition (being a young man), rather than his situation illustrates the fundamental attribution error discussed in class. Perhaps he is not an asshole, but was late for work. We are more likely to commit the fundamental attribution error when explaining others’ behavior, so I bet that if I were the one to have cut somebody off, I would have more quickly considered the impact of the situation.
