A board certified behavior analyst with over 30 years experience in the field, will conduct first a:
1) Comprehensive Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) including but not limited to the following:
- Functional Analysis Screening Tool (FAST) (questionnaire)
- Motivational Assessment Scale (MAS) (questionnaire)
- Records review (psychological assessments, medical reports)
- Interview with Resident Manager and Group Home Staff
- Interview with Adult Day Training staff or
- Interviews with school personnel
- Interview with caretakers
- Review of incident reports (for law enforcement, medical attention, elopements, etc.)
- Review of data (antecedent-behavior-consequence data)
- Probes (behavior analyst presents a treatment briefly and documents the results)
- Preference assessment (to determine what the person may like)
- Reinforcement Survey (to determine what is reinforcing)
- Structural analyses (to determine under what conditions does the behavior occur: attention, alone,
demands, or tangible) - Natural Observation (behavior analyst or assistant observes and documents the behavior seen or heard)
2) Then, develop a Behavior Analysis Services Plan (BASP).
- Includes results of the functional assessment
- Rationale (why does the person need assistance)
- Prior Strategies (what treatments were tried in the past)
- Hypotheses (why the person behaves a certain way)
- Behaviors targeted for reduction (what behaviors you’d like to happen less often)
- Replacement behaviors for acquisition (what behaviors you’d like to see happen more often)
- Medical summary (medications, allergies, chronic or acute medical conditions)
- Quality assurance (how will data collection be reviewed by the behavior analyst and presented to the
local review committee). - Least intrusive, most effective (the treatment that is the least intrusive to the person, yet is the most
effective for him/her) - Procedures (how will the treatment take place)
- Reactive strategies ( how will the emergency be handled: when he/she is a danger to himself/herself or
others) - Maintenance/generalization (after the treatment, how will the person’s new skills continue at home and
in public) - Integration (Providers of services to the person will be briefed about the best way to assist the person)
- Outcomes (desired ultimate goals=life style)
- Proficiency checklists (behavior analyst uses a checklist which designates how caregivers treat the
person) - Informed consent (permission to conduct the service must be granted by the person and or his legal
guardian/surrogate)
3) ) Then, train and monitor caretakers, updates the plan, review data, graph data, analyze data, observations
of consumer, develop probes for new interventions, crisis intervention and programming for generalization.
