+1 862 207 3288 Select 1-2 of the four assessment documents that BEST FIT the needs of your target child. Do not simply select the shortest or easiest form! To get the most out of this project, you must determine how to best address the needs of your target child and decide which assessment(s) will yield the most meaningful and useful information.
I recommend using 2 of the above forms, one of which being the Support Planning Chart (same one we’ve been using repeatedly during class with application cases).
4. Complete the selected assessment form(s). You may adapt and revise the form(s) as you see fit. For example, if you are unable to complete certain sections (i.e., parent interview) then skip it and simply state why that section wasn’t attempted.
Completed functional assessment forms = 50 points for this section
o Validity of selected assessments and accuracy of data = 30 points o Clarity of reported data = 25 points
Review and analyze the data you collected with your chosen assessment forms. Draft conclusions and write up your results as follows (total 50 points for this section):
Provide an overview of your target child’s challenging behaviors. Include a brief description of the child (age, sex, background) in a short narrative. (5 points)
Summarize the results of your functional assessment. (20 points)
o Triggers and antecedents?
o Maintaining consequences?
o Possible communicative intents (i.e., functions) of the challenging behaviors o Other important information to consider?
Draft a behavior intervention plan (20 points). I suggest that you review the handout “APP-B Positive Guidance Plan” to help you with this section.
o Proactive/Preventive Strategies? o New skills to teach?
o New responses?
o Other?
Self-Reflection (5 points)
o What were your experiences with the assessment process?
What went well and what didn’t? Why?
What might you do differently next time? Why?
What were the most meaningful lessons for you in this assignment?
