ABAT Competency Standards 2023/2024 CORRECT ANSWER

ABAT Competency Standards 2023/2024 CORRECT ANSWER Section D - CORRECT ANSWER-1-3 1. Define and identify positive behavior support systems (PBS) - CORRECT ANSWERDefinition: A process to understand and resolve the problem behavior of individuals or children that is based on values and empirical research. It can be used to address problem behaviors that range from aggression, tantrums, and property destruction to social withdrawal. Define and identify positive behavior support systems (PBS) - CORRECT ANSWER-6 Steps for implementing pbs: 1. Building a behavior support system 2. person-centered planning 3. functional behavioral assessment 4. hypothesis development 5. behavior support plan development 6. monitoring outcomes 2. Behavioral momentum - CORRECT ANSWER-to build up momentum to what you really want the child to do. ex: "Hi Andrea!" (Andrea looks up at me) "Nice looking! Give me a high five" (Andrea gives me a high five) "Awesome! Clean up your toys" 2. Premack principle - CORRECT ANSWER-"grandma's rule" "first/then" "if/then" you want to explain what he reinforcement is first. 2. Priming - CORRECT ANSWER-an evidence-based antecedent strategy in which the learner is exposed to materials or activities that are likely to present difficulties later. 2. Forced choice - CORRECT ANSWER-Each trial consists of presenting two items and recording the person's choice of the two. Data is recorded on how many times an item was chosen and then items are rank ordered. 3. PECS Picture Exchange Communication Systems - CORRECT ANSWER-knowing what to do for a specific procedure. This system is used for kids who can't talk, you communicate with the through pictures. this is also a form of discrimination training 3. TEACCH - CORRECT ANSWER-an evidence-based academic program that is based on the idea that autistic individuals are visual learners, so teachers must correspondingly adapt their teaching style and intervention strategies. 3. social stories - CORRECT ANSWER-telling a story through pictures with words to match each photo. ex. if a child or parent is not fluent in English, you could print a social story in their primary language so they're able to understand the story. 3. video modeling - CORRECT ANSWER-teaching strategy in which the learner watches a video of other people engaging in a desired behaviour and then copies this behaviour. 3. visual schedules - CORRECT ANSWER-graphic representation of scheduled tasks and activities. ex. a schedule of your morning routine; toilet, brush teeth, groom hair, getting dressed, eat breakfast, take medicine. 3 part contingency ABC's - CORRECT ANSWER-Antecedents: be sure to ask the "wh" question. A stimulus of environmental events. Behavior: a measurable/observable response Consequence: reinforcement or punishment Part A ASD & common characteristics and deficits - CORRECT ANSWER-ASD: autism spectrum disorder, a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in social communication and social interaction and the presence of restricted, repetitive behaviors. ASD & common characteristics and deficits - CORRECT ANSWER-Characteristics & deficits: three core deficits: impaired communication, impaired reciprocal social interaction and restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behaviors or interests. Difficulty with changes in routine Autism as a spectrum disorder w/ triad of primary impairments - CORRECT ANSWER-- qualitative impairment in social interaction -qualitative impairments in communication -restricted repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activities. Red flags used in early diagnosis - CORRECT ANSWER-social communication, interaction and repetitive behaviors and restricted interests Risk factors to autism spectrum disorder - CORRECT ANSWER-Your childs sex, family history, other disorders, extremely preterm babies, parents ages How and when diagnosis disorders commonly assoc. - CORRECT ANSWER-ASD can sometimes be detected at 18 months or younger. By age 2, a diagnosis by an experienced professional can be considered very reliable [1]. However, many children do not receive a final diagnosis until much older. Identify co-morbid disorders associated w ASD - CORRECT ANSWER-Anxiety, ADHD, Bipolar disorder, clinical depression, down syndrome, fragile x, gastrointestinal Symptoms, development delays, motor difficulties, OCD, seizures and epilepsy, sleep problems, Tourettes syndrome and tuberous sclerosis. Scope and role of practice for ABAT - CORRECT ANSWERPart B Basic assumptions in behaviorism and behavior modification - CORRECT ANSWERMethodological behaviorism, first written about by John Watson, revolves around the goal of predicting behavior and in turn learning to control it. Radical behaviorism, founded by B.F. Skinner, adds onto methodological behaviorism in the sense that mental events can be used to analyze behavior. 3 part contingency- ABC's - CORRECT ANSWER-Antecedent: environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist or occur prior to the behavior of interest. Behavior Consequences: stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest. Principles and types of reinforcement and punishment - CORRECT ANSWER-Types: A fixed-ratio schedule of reinforcement means that reinforcement should be delivered after a constant or "fixed" number of correct responses. -When using a variable-ratio (VR) schedule of reinforcement the delivery of reinforcement will "vary" but must average out at a specific number. -A fixed-interval schedule means that reinforcement becomes available after a specific period of time. -The variable-interval (VI) schedule of reinforcement means the time periods that must pass before reinforcement becomes available will "vary" but must average out at a specific time interval. Contingent and non-contingent - CORRECT ANSWER-non-cont: providing reinforcement freely and often contingent: dependent and/or temporal relations between operant behavior and it's controlling variables. Primary and secondary reinforcement and punishment - CORRECT ANSWER-Positive reinforcement- presentation of a stimulus, behavior occurs more often in the future. Negative reinforcement- termination of certain stimuli, future probability of a behavior is increased.
