You will exercise your clinical writing skills to create a detailed behavior intervention plan including the following:Operational Definitions and Functions of Identified Target Behaviors: For this section, summarize all results of the assessment portion. Prioritize and define the behaviors to be targeted, and list the functions of each of those behaviors.Antecedent Procedures: Based on the results of the functional behavior analysis (FBA), describe the antecedent procedures you recommend to prevent the behavior from occurring. Be sure to cite the research justifying your use of these procedures.Replacement Procedure: Based on the functions of behavior, describe the replacement behaviors you would like to address, as well as your plan for how they would be taught and reinforced. Be sure to cite the research justifying your use of these procedures.Consequential Procedures: Based on the results of the FBA, describe how you would want others (therapist, teacher, or caregiver) to respond if the behavior occurs. Describe how to arrange the environment such that others will respond accordingly.Short-Term Goals: Describe behavioral goals for the client to be achieved with three months of service. Be sure to cite the research justifying these goals.Long-Term Goals: Describe the ultimate goals of the intervention. Describe the discharge criteria for the recommended ABA services. Be sure to cite the research justifying these goals.Generalization and Maintenance Procedures: Describe your recommended plan to generalize the skills learned in this treatment plan. Describe your recommended plan to withdraw any treatment components while maintaining low rates of challenging behavior. Be sure to cite the research justifying your use of these procedures.Monitoring Systems Support for BehaviorPresent your design for effective performance monitoring and reinforcement systems for your chosen case study.Implementation of ABA TechniquesDiscuss the research that supports your decision for the implementation of intervention strategies here. Reference the literature gathered in previous units to help you create an empirically valid intervention plan.Assignment RequirementsYour assignment should meet the following requirements:Written communication: Should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.APA formatting: References and citations are formatted according to current APA style guidelines.Resources: 5 scholarly or professional resources.Length: 4 double-spaced pages, excluding title page and list of references.Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12-point.

Week 1 Discussion-Psychology and Gender

/in /by

According to Bem (1981), gender roles furnish the material for gender stereotypes. This is because when people associate a pattern of behavior with men or women, they tend to overlook individual variations and draw conclusions about the behavior associated with a particular gender.In the United States, sexism toward women has always been an issue in advertising, especially in the 1950s. Women have traditionally been expected to fulfill gender-specific roles, such as rearing children, cleaning, and cooking. Today’s society has evolved to a place where such discrimination is discouraged and looked down upon. Men too have experienced gender bias, especially those who embraced roles typically associated with women (for example, nursing and stay-at-home dads).In your exploration of these concepts, your response answer the following:How do images represent genders inaccurately or unfairly? Be sure to define gender, gender roles, and gender stereotypes.How does the media impact people’s views about gender stereotypes—the concept of being male or female?A gender stereotype consists of beliefs about the activities appropriate to men or women. Who determines what is appropriate?How does the media influence this perception of appropriateness and gender roles?Reference:Bem, S. L. (1981). Gender schema theory: A cognitive account of sex typing.Psychological Review, 88(4), 354–364.Justify your answers with appropriate reasoning and research from your textbook and course readings. Start reviewing and responding to at least two of your classmates as early in the week as possible. You can ask technical questions or respond generally to the overall experience. Be sure to be honest, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language, even in criticism, to work toward the goal of positive progress. Using questions and seeking clarifications are good ways to make your reviews substantive!Use an APA style reference list with in-text citations in your initial response.Use an APA style reference list with in-text citations in at least one of your two responses to classmates.
