You will learn how to define behavior (part 1) and then apply that knowledge to analyzing a case study of a student with challenging behavior (part 2).

Part 1: Defining Behavior (4%) Read: Star Sheets: p. iii, p. 7, 9, 11, 13, & 15 Complete Case Study: LEVEL A*CASE 1: Write a Target Behavior and desired behavior for student using criteria provided in ONE TYPED PAGE. Part 2: Case Study (Juanita or Fred) (26%) CHOOSE a student, Juanita or Fred, to focus on for this assignment. Once you have chosen a focus student, you will write a 6 to 8-PAGE PAPER in APA format addressing each of the topics described below. The page count does not include title page or bibliography. You will support your ideas with academic research about various aspects of the behavior, intervention, outcome, appropriateness, and the maintenance of using the intervention. DESCRIBE EACH OF THE TOPICS: Behavioral Challenges: Describe the student’s behavior challenges. Define the behaviors using the criteria for defining behavior from the IRIS module that you completed. Behavioral Interventions: Describe the behavioral interventions that the student received. Discuss the research that supports these interventions using at least two academic resources. Behavioral Outcomes: Describe the student’s behavioral outcomes after he/she received the behavioral intervention. How will you maintain the student’s appropriate behavior(s)? Provide at least one academic reference about maintaining this behavior. Conclusion: In what circumstances might you foresee using this intervention? What are some downsides of these interventions? Are there cultural, ethnic, and/or gender considerations to using this intervention? Does this intervention appeal to you? Why or why not. Provide at least one academic reference on research to the downsides of this behavior.
