Literature reviews reveal that larger reductions in problem behavior are evident when a functional analysis is part of the functional assessment process (Campbell, 2002; Hayvaert et al., 2012). Nevertheless, most BCBAs do not conduct functional analyses prior to addressing a severe problem (Oliver, Pratt, & Normand, 2015). This course provides content relevant to closing this apparent research-to-practice gap. Interview-informed, synthesized contingency analyses (IISCA) (Hanley, Jin, Vanselow, & Hanratty, 2014) are emphasized for enhancing the speed, safety and efficacy of functional analyses. Procedures for maximizing the efficacy of skill-based treatments in general and of functional communication and delay tolerance in particular are also emphasized.
Objectives:
- Describe why it is important to conduct a functional assessment with a functional analysis as part of the process prior to treating severe problem behavior.
- Describe the functional assessment tools that can be omitted from an effective functional assessment process.
- Describe the essential components of a functional analysis of problem behavior.
- Describe the essential features of an IISCA that distinguish it from a standard functional analysis.
- Describe the relative efficiency of the IISCA relative to other functional analysis formats.
- Describe the relative amount of control afforded by the IISCA relative to other functional analysis formats.
- Describe how to determine the validity of functional analyses.
- Describe the measures of behavior that are important for determining the success of function-based intervention for problem behavior.
- Describe the critical elements of functional communication training.
- Describe the critical features of programming to teach children to tolerate delays to and denials of the reinforcers found to be maintaining their problem behavior.
- Describe how to program for functional communication responses to maintain even when most of these responses cannot be reinforced.
- Describe several strategies for having multiple people implement this skill-based treatment throughout the day.
