Based on the interactive media scenario, speculate on the possible functions of Tracey’s behavior, identify one that you think would be a likely function, and develop a short intervention based on your judgment regarding that function.

Assignment Question

FUNCTION-BASED SUPERVISION

A primary goal of your supervision experience is to apply the knowledge you gain in the classroom to real-world settings. This week, you have examined FBA as an effective supervision approach to address behavioral improvement.

For this Assignment, you consider a real-world case study about an individual who is not meeting the goals and objectives established in their supervision contract. You will apply FBA to the case by identifying possible functions of the individual’s behavior and designing a corresponding intervention.

TO PREPARE: Review the FBA Learning Resources. Consider how you could use your knowledge of the importance of identifying the function of behavior when supervising an individual who is not meeting the goals and objectives established in their supervision contract. Review the interactive media in the Learning Resources, “Function-Based Supervision Scenario.”

ASSIGNMENT (1–2 PAGES) Based on the interactive media scenario, speculate on the possible functions of Tracey’s behavior, identify one that you think would be a likely function, and develop a short intervention based on your judgment regarding that function. Be sure to support your Assignment with specific references to behavior-analytic theory and research. In addition to the Learning Resources, search the Walden Library and/or the internet for peer-reviewed articles to support your Assignment. Use proper APA format and citations, including those in the Learning Resources.
