Kaleb and Keynon's class currently has twenty students enrolled. The Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and the Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

QUESTIONS

KALEB

1. When it comes to Kaleb what hypothetical procedure using Applied behavioral analysis methods would you use to change his behavior? The procedure must be backed by research that supports it.
2. Describe how you would implement the intervention for Kaleb?
3. Clearly identify the data recording method (frequency, duration, etc.) used and explain why that method was selected.
4. Describe the instrument you used for recording the data and why it was selected.
5. Describe the schedule for data collection you used (when it was collected, where, by whom, etc.).
6. Describe how baseline data was gathered.
7. Discuss what method of interobserver agreement was used. Explain how it was calculated, the percent of sessions it was collected, and the percent agreement.

Include a description of how it was implemented for each participant in a specific situation. Be clear about how the intervention was implemented (technological), rather than just naming the intervention.
