Discussion:
Create a table similar to the one you created in the first assignment in Unit 5 and to the one on page 83 of Functional Assessment.
If you have not done so already, view the short video of Chris, a boy with autism from this unit's studies (also provided in the Resources). Additional information is provided on the Web page below the video. Be sure to turn up the volume, as Chris's verbal behavior repertoire includes clear vocal mands.
To complete this assignment:
Use the table to describe each of Chris's mands that occur during the video, with the relevant antecedents and consequences.
Below the table, provide a summary of your observation including the frequency of Chris's mands and any other verbal operants you may have observed.
Write a behavior definition for Chris's self-injurious behaviors (SIB). Provide a frequency count of all observed SIBs.
Analyze the prompting strategies of the adult and recommend improvements for future training sessions, if needed.
Be sure to support your choices with the unit readings and other scholarly resources.
