Provides a clear step by step breakdown of the behaviors that make up the selected task, including any antecedent stimuli or cues, materials needed, setting or environmental stimuli, etc.
Selects a specific step from the task analysis list, and describes the target outcome behavior in observable and measurable terms.
Identifies how each measurable dimension of behavior might apply to your target outcome behavior (rate, duration, latency, inter-response time), and selects an appropriate method to record these behaviors.
With the target behavior in mind, discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using continuous versus sampling techniques (e.g. partial and whole-interval recording, momentary time sampling).
Selects an appropriate schedule of observation and recording, given your specific target behavior and the logistics of observing and recording.
Discusses in detail how you would assess what step a client is on within your task list. What methods of functional behavior assessment would you use here and why? Provides a clear justification and explanation for your selection.
Discusses the different methods of charting and graphing that you should consider using when presenting the results of your intervention (e.g.- histogram, line graph, celeration chart, etc.). Provide a clear argument as to why your selected method is best, and how it demonstrates parsimony.
Selects and creates a data display that effectively presents the mock data visually using charts/graphs.
Discusses how you would interpret the results, and what your recommendation would be regarding the client's progress.
