A chain interruption strategy as a contingency is essential for __________ problem behaviors. In order for the problem behavior to be ameliorated, it must be weakened in its ability (i.e., disabled) to directly contact the sensory or tangible reinforcer. Correct answers direct access ______________: Identify a requesting behavior that would allow staff to mediate such a request or choice by providing the client with a more appropriate setting (area) in which to engage in the problem behavior....

strategies for implementation of CBC with diverse families Correct answers 1. Practice cultural sensitivity- examine one's own cultural beliefs; engage in cross-cultural learning; use clear communication strategies; focus on family-identified needs 2. Build trusting relationships- spend time getting to know families; learn about unique cultures; follow-up with family after consultation services have ended 3. Address diversity issues directly- demonstrate respect for different cultural style...

Between behaviors, you either provide instructions or show images that indicate what you want them to do. This falls under what instructional strategy? Correct answers Prompting A colleague reports that they are using an NDBI with a client that is working really well. As they explain the NDBI, you think that it may be beneficial for a client of yours. You ask your colleague if you can review the manual to learn more about it.
