Then, based on the assessment plan that your team develops, you will individually complete the provided FBA template. You will make up and graph your own set of hypothetical data from each section of the FBA and present the results of the complete FBA in a PowerPoint that will be presented via Kaltura. Your presentation should be written and narrated as if you were presenting your assessment results to parents or teachers or other caregivers who are not trained in ABA. Throughout all of the components, be sure to use the materials provided in previous units and peer-reviewed, behavior analytic resources to demonstrate that your selections, procedures, and/or assumptions in each section are based on relevant research literature and best practice standards.
- [INDIVIDUAL] Functional Behavior Assessment Hypothetical Data and Summary: Pretend that the procedures designed in the first component have now been conducted. Complete the FBA template that is provided using hypothetical data that you create for each of the assessment components (indirect assessment, descriptive assessment, functional analysis, skills assessment, and preference assessment). After you have completed the FBA template provided, use that information to design a PowerPoint to present the summary of data for each assessment procedure as well as an overall summary of the hypothetical function(s) of behavior. Identify the variable(s) likely responsible for the maintenance of the behavioral excess and explain how you came to that conclusion. Then you will make a Kaltura video of yourself presenting your PowerPoint and your results. This presentation should be written and narrated to explain the results of an assessment for consumers who are not trained in ABA (ex. teachers, parents, etc.)
Your individual assignment should include the following elements:
- The completed FBA template
- Title slide: Provide your name, title of assignment, course and section number, and date.
- Content slides: Answer all the questions, reflecting appropriate personal and professional insights.
- The assignment must be written in Standard English and demonstrate superior organization, including a highly developed viewpoint and purpose. Your responses should reflect professional writing standards, using proper tone and language. The writing and writing style should be correct, accurate, and reflect knowledge of skills and practice inthe profession.
- Presentations are visual; therefore, use clear, concise bullet points and avoid crowded slides. You may include the use of graphics and SmartArt to streamline information in a memorable manner. Additionally, images and diagrams are wonderful presentation tools, but be sure to include all required citations. Please review the Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations resource for tips and suggestions. Submissions must be in .pptx format and no larger than 40 MB.
- Note: Visual effects and some dark-colored themes, such as Slate, may prevent Turnitin from fully processing a PowerPoint file and, consequently, from generating a Similarity Report. Review the file requirements to ensure a report will be generated.
- Reference slide: Sources listed in current APA format.
- Include a minimum of three of the materials provided in previous units and/or peer-reviewed, behavior analytic resources from the Purdue Global University Library to demonstrate that your selections, procedures, and/or assumptions in each section are based on relevant research literature and best practice standards.
- Use Arial or Times New Roman 24-point font.
- Use current APA formatting and citation style.
- Please use this helpful video resource, APA Style Formatting in PowerPoint, to format a PowerPoint by applying current APA style to a title slide; body slides using bullet points, figures, tables, and copyright statements; and a reference list with hanging indentations.
