- Completed FBA Clinical Document (from template provided).
- A narrated video presentation script of your individual FBA Hypothetical Data. Use the group assignment for this. (use only the behavior in the group assignment attached bellow)
- Summary PowerPoint explaining the BA templet with the hypothetical data.
Based on the assessment plan that your team develops, you will individually complete the provided FBA template. You will make up and graph your own set of hypothetical data from each section of the FBA and present the results of the complete FBA in a PowerPoint that will be presented via Kaltura. Your presentation should be written and narrated as if you were presenting your assessment results to parents or teachers or other caregivers who are not trained in ABA.
[INDIVIDUAL] Functional Behavior Assessment Hypothetical Data and Summary: Pretend that the procedures designed in the first component have now been conducted. Complete the FBA template that is provided using hypothetical data that you create for each of the assessment components (indirect assessment, descriptive assessment, functional analysis, skills assessment, and preference assessment). After you have completed the FBA template provided, use that information to design a PowerPoint to present the summary of data for each assessment procedure as well as an overall summary of the hypothetical function(s) of behavior. Identify the variable(s) likely responsible for the maintenance of the behavioral excess and explain how you came to that conclusion. Then you will make a Kaltura video of yourself presenting your PowerPoint and your results. This presentation should be written and narrated to explain the results of an assessment for consumers who are not trained in ABA (ex. teachers, parents, etc.)
