DEVELOPING AN EFFECTIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION PLAN: A 20 STEP TASK

ANALYSIS

Presenter: Cicero, Ph.D., BCBA

The behavioral principles behind developing a behavior plan for decreasing

challenging behavior are very familiar to most behavior analysts. In

applied settings, however, obstacles such as time constraints,

non-behavioral team members, untrained staff and pressure to decrease the

behavior with the least disruption to day-to-day routines, sometimes cause

behavior analysts to cut corners with their ABA procedures. This leads to

the development of less effective treatment plans. The current workshop

will present the audience with a concise, 20 step task analysis for

developing an effective behavior reduction program. Steps include basic

procedures such as choosing a target behavior and data system to more

advanced procedures such as analyzing establishing operations and

conducting reinforcer assessments. Information will be demonstrated through

case-study data. Time will be left for audience questions and discussion.
