Question

A new behavior analyst is working with a family who has received ABA services for the last five years. A functional analysis has been conducted and the BCBA identifies that the child's screaming behavior is attention maintained. A plan is written for the screaming behavior and presented for consent prior to implementing. Has the BCBA missed anything?

Answer 1

Answer:

The BCBA did miss something.

Explanation:Children's behavior do not not elapse very easily because they are caused many factors which sometimes can be household factors.these factors contribute in a bad way in  a child's life.Proper analysis helps with tackling  the behavior very well and hence avoiding wrongful detection's.

The child screaming behavior has been maintained for 5 years,It is not easy to conclude that the child is back to normal for a short space of time,since the services were utilized by the family for 5 years.Alone that says a lot because the new analyst requires at-least half of the years which the ABA used to maintain the child's behavior in order to fully assess the situation.Proper maintenance requires patience and commitment in-order to achieve a desired goal, this case  a written plan of a screaming behavior for consent prior for implementation.
