| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Main goal of ABA practice | To help individuals achieve meaningful outcomes by using methods and procedures that are validated by ABA researchers |
| Tasks performed by ABA practitioners | Direct observation, measurement, graphing/charting and manipulation of antecedents and consequences |
| ABA Practice | The application of the principles of operant and respondent learning derived from the experimental analysis of behavior and the application of methods and procedures validated by ABA researchers to assess and improve socially important human behaviors |
| Outcomes | Life changes that represent a person’s aspirations, dreams, and broad preferences |
| Outcome statements | Statements that clearly define broad goals relating to areas such as choice, access to reinforcers,avoidance of aversive stimuli, health and safety, and interpersonal relationships |
| Leads to outcomes | Behavior and behavior change |
| Adaptive behavior | Skills or abilities that enable the individual to meet standards of personal independence and responsibility that would be expected of his or her age and social group |
| Target behavior | Any defined, observable, and measurable behavior that is the focus of assessment, analysis, and intervention |
| Types of problems with behavior | Skill deficits, problems with strength of behavior, problems with performance, problems with stimulus control, problems with generality, behavior excesses |
| Skill deficit | Can't Do at all; or does, but not independently |
| Problems with strength of behavior | Does, but not well enough(lacks mastery), does well enough but lacks fluency, does well enough but not frequently enough |
| Performance problem | Won’t do |
| Problems with stimulus control | Does the behavior at the wrong time or in the wrong place |
| Problems with generality | Does the behavior, but only under limited circumstances |
| Behavior excess | Does the behavior too much |
| Reasons for selecting target behavior | Helps achieve outcomes, behavior deficit makes person dependent on others, behavior is harmful, dangerous or illegal, behavior is controlled by meds or restraints, behavior excludes from social situations, behavior interferes with independent functioning |
| General guidelines for selecting target behavior | Pass the Dead Person's test: a behavior NOT a label; countable; more specific is usually better; choose one that will have the greatest impact; if targeting a behavior to decelerate you must choose at least one replacement behavior for increase |
| Social validity | The treatment goals and the achieved outcomes are acceptable, socially relevant, and useful to the individual receiving services and to those who care about the individual |
| Preliminary assessment | The practitioner gathers basic information about the case, determines if behavioral services are appropriate, and if he/she is the appropriate provider of those services |
| Steps of preliminary assessment | Determine who has authority to give consent for services; Determine whether or you have the permission, skills, time, resources to begin assessment; Complete intake paperwork; Review records and data; Meet client and begin observations; Document |
