Assignment task:
Background/Purpose of the project.
Please develop an academic intervention for the following students.
His name is: MV
He is in second grade, diagnosed with Autism and ADHD. He currently receives speech therapy, occupational therapy and counseling services. The main concern is that he refuses to do any academic task. When the teacher ask to complete an assignment he gets mad and the behavior he displays is throwing furniture on the floor such as chairs, desks, pencils.
MV disrupt the learning of other students in the classroom and his grades are being negatively impacted since he refuses to do any academic task.
As an intervention; it is proposed that he uses a personalized schedule and a timer to indicate when he will take a break, two breaks of 5 minutes within a period will be allow so MV can go to a sensory corner of do a prefer activity with the condition that he needs to do academic tasks when he is not in breaks. It is predicted that if the intervention works in 8 weeks, we can start decreasing the amount of breaks so MV can be more present in class.
Please include these sections and the graphs. (Calculate the effect Size/PND of the data as shown on the example)
Please see attached document as a reference.
The academic intervention should include the following sections and the graphs::
Section 1: Problem Identification
1. Referral source and reason for referral.
2. Operational Definition of the problem behavior - defined in the context of appropriate grade and/or peer expectations.
3. Explanation of collaborative discussion with referral source and others (i.e. parents/teachers).
4. Explain the discrepancy between current and desired level of performance. Need Assignment Help?
5. Develop a baseline.
Section 2: Problem Analysis
1. Perform a functional analysis
2. Develop hypotheses
Section 3: Intervention
1. Define Goals of intervention within context of appropriate grade and/or peer expectation
2. Describe intervention that is selected. Be sure to discuss how intervention is:
a. linked to observable, measurable goals.
b. based on data from problem analysis and hypothesis testing.
c. evidence-based
d. developed collaboratively
e. monitored
f. approved by supervisor (university and on-site)
3. Describe how intervention reflects sensitivity to individual differences, resources, classroom practices, and other system issues.
4. Discuss logistics of setting, time, resources and personnel
5. Discuss how Intervention is monitored and data is provided
Section 4: Evaluation
1. Provide data and charts that reflect student performance as it pertains to operationally defined goals.
2. Show how Data are used to inform further problem solving and decision making (i.e. if performance did not improve what was done to alter the plan)
3. Discussion of strengths and weaknesses of the intervention.
4. Discussion of follow up
5. Discuss how intervention results were reviewed with team members (i.e. referral sources such as parents/teachers)
