Behavior Analysis Practicum

Case Presentation Guidelines

1.  Give a brief overview statement of the case you are presenting.  Include the following: 
A.  The referral problem 
B.  Description of the client (age, diagnosis, basic skill levels) 
C.  The living arrangements of the client (home, group home) and any critical environmental variables that could be a factor in treatment

2.   Assessment techniques used to gather the data for the functional analysis

3.   Results of the functional analysis (graphs or charts are important here)

4.   Intervention strategy.  Cite specifics; give the rationale for these specifics as they relates to research from Applied Behavior Analysis journals.  What are your expected results.

5.   How will you measure the success of your intervention or progress in this case?

6.   If this is an UPDATE REPORT, repeat #1 and #4 from above and then say what the current data indicate.  Will you be making any adjustments in your treatment plan?  Why?  How has your original functional analysis changed?  Review your current results.

7.   Follow-up plans to maintain the behavior change and generalize the treatment methodology to other key members of the client's environment.
