Problem:
You approach the group and tell them to stay on task and practice the dribbling and passing skills. Three of the students from the group apologize and immediately resume practicing. However, Steven folds his arms across his chest and, without saying a word, walks to the far side of the gym and sits against the wall. He remains there, refusing to participate, until class ends. Understanding that Steven's negative behavior is ongoing and starting to be a disruption to the other students in the class, you conclude that you must develop a strategy address the issue. Your task for Discussion 4 is to develop a strategy to manage the behavior exhibited by Steven in the narrative. Taking the concepts that you have been learning from Chapter 5 in the textbook, thoroughly explain an intervention strategy to prevent Steven's inappropriate behavior. What type of reinforcement will you use? How can you utilize the Premack Principle? How might you employ the ABC model? What are some specific consequences that you could employ to change Steven's behavior? Explain which of the 3 Strategies to Decrease Inappropriate Behavior (Pg. 74-75) that you could use with Steven. What other methods can you possibly use? Need Assignment Help?
