Problem:
A behavior analyst designs an intervention to increase functional communication in a 5-year-old non-verbal child using a speech-generating device. After four weeks, the data shows that the child is using the device to request preferred items in 25% of opportunities during therapy sessions. However, the parents report that the child rarely uses the device at home and still resorts to tantrums when denied access to desired items. Which of the following best reflects a consideration of the "effective" dimension of ABA in this scenario? Need Assignment Help? Group of answer choices The intervention is effective because the child demonstrated some use of the device during therapy sessions. The intervention may need to be revised because the behavior change is not significant or meaningful across settings. Effectiveness is not a concern as long as the data show some improvement in the target behavior. The intervention should only be evaluated after six months to properly assess generalization.
