create a task analysis (TA) for the skill. Explain how you would validate the task analysis you created (e.g., how you would determine what steps need to be completed for the skill). Remember to individualize your TA according to the age, skill level, and prior experience of the individual client.

Unit 6:
Given the following two potential target behaviors, choose one for intervention using either differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO), or differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA). Make sure you explain what your goal for the behavior is and how either DRO or DRA will best help you accomplish your goal. Identify the target behavior’s likely function and discuss how your intervention strategy (either DRO or DRA) is matched to the behavior’s function, as well as how you determined the schedule for reinforcement. Describe your intervention procedures technologically (i.e., in enough detail so that someone could implement your intervention). Finally, make sure that you weave relevant ethical and social validity concerns regarding your behavior-change intervention throughout your post. As you discuss relevant ethical concerns, cite specific codes from the BACB’s Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts.
Potential Target Behaviors (choose one):
A school-aged child engages in disruption in his classroom (e.g., throwing his writing utensils at his teacher and peers) during independent reading time, which results in him being sent to the principal’s office.
An adolescent engages in nail biting to the point of injury (i.e., bleeding nail beds) when bored or by himself.

Instructions
Review what you’ve learned in Weeks 1-3 to create a 9-10 slide PowerPoint presentation that you would be able to present to your colleagues/staff to equip them to work with families of children with autism in a compassionate way. Include the following:
Title slide.
What is autism?
Brief history.
Current issues.
Screening and diagnosis.
Early intervention process.
Compassionate care.
Resources for families.
References slide. (At minimum, each of this week’s readings should be cited at least once.)
Remember that slides should be succinct, readable, and visually appealing for an audience. Make sure your presentation is 9-10 slides long. Do no go over 10 slides. Review the following or another resource your choice.
Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations [PPTX].
Provide speaker’s notes (scriipt) under each slide, writing what you would say to your audience to discuss the slide.
This is not a presentation on intervention. Rather, it should be a presentation on general autism knowledge and general process for early intervention, with a heavy emphasis on compassionate care. Intervention will come later in this course. For this presentation, consider how would you prepare your colleagues or staff to effectively and compassionately support families of children with autism as they navigate the beginning steps in diagnosis and early intervention.
Overall, your assignment submission will be assessed on the following criteria:
Explain relevant characteristics, history, and current issues related to autism.
Summarize screening, diagnosis, and early intervention processes for autism.
Explain resources and strategies to help provide compassionate care for individuals with autism and their families.
Convey purpose in a well-organized text, incorporating appropriate evidence and tone in grammatically sound sentences.
Create detailed speaker’s notes for the PowerPoint using APA format and citing appropriate references.
Additional Requirements
Your assignment should also meet the following requirements:
Length of submission: A 9-10 slide PowerPoint presentation with detailed speaker’s notes.
Number of references: Cite a minimum of four sources of scholarly or professional evidence. Resources should be no more than five years old.
APA formatting: Both PowerPoint slides and speaker’s notes should follow current APA style and formatting.

the paper is to be approximately 3 and ½ pages long, double-spaced. The paper is to be in APA. There should also be a title page and a reference page. There should be at least 3 in-text citations and three references. Information regarding the disorder from the DSM-V such as the essential features should be in on of the first three paragraphs. After discussing the disorder, the student will look at the disorder from two of the perspectives covered in class.( Psychodynamic, Biological perspective) In addition, how would the disorder be treated from that perspective? In additional paragraph can be why you chose to look at that disorder. NO PLAGIARISM AND NO AI PLEASE

For Individuals: Your proposal should include the following elements: (1) Title

For Individuals:
Your proposal should include the following elements: (1) Title page, (2) Introduction, (3) Method, (4) References, and (5) Materials. See below for more detailed information regarding each element.
(1) The Title Page should include Running Head (with a page number), Title, your Name (as the Author name), and your Affiliation (in this case, it is University of California, Irvine). See “Professional Title Page” at https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/paper-format/title-page. Also write “Working Independently” underneath your name for our reference.
(2) The Introduction section should include the following:
Statement about the general purpose of your study (e.g., What are you trying to investigate?)
Description of the general significance of your study (e.g., Why is your research question important in general?)
Summary of the relevant literature. Write a brief annotation (~200 words max) for each article/study you have found. Note that your annotations should not include direct quotes or paraphrases.
Statement of your tentative hypothesis (e.g., What do you expect to find as a result of this study?)
Note that you need to incorporate all of the above but not in a “bullet-point” format. Your Introduction should flow as a text with proper paragraphs as needed.
(3) The Method section is where you describe how you will test your hypothesis in detail. It typically consists of several sub-sections, each of them having their own heading. Your Methods section should include the following sub-sections:
Participants: Who are your participants going to be? Explain (a) where you think your sample of participants will be drawn from, (b) expected demographics of your sample (such as age range, gender distribution, education level), (c) how many participants you will have in your study. Note that the total number of participants that you will need for your study is a minimum of 40 (if your strategy is Experiment and/or Quasi-Experimental, minimum 20 in each condition).
Design: What is your research strategy (e.g., Correlational, Experimental, or Non-Experimental/Quasi-Experimental?). If Experimental, Between- or Within-Subjects Design? What are your variables? If Experimental, indicate the Independent Variable (IV) and the Dependent Variable (DV). If Non-Experimental or Quasi-Experimental, indicate the grouping variable and the outcome variable. For all strategies, indicate whether each variable is continuous or categorical; if continuous, indicate the range of possible answers, and if categorical, list all the possible categories.
Materials: This is where you briefly describe the measures, or scales, or questionnaires that you are going to use in the study. You will also provide the full materials as a part of your proposal (see below Materials and Step 5)
Procedure: Describe how you will collect data step by step. Are you going to administer the measures individually or to a group? Are you going to administer the measures in person or online? If the latter, via phone or email or social media etc.) If the former, paper & pen or computerized? Describe what the researcher and the participants will do during the administration (including consenting and debriefing on the researcher side).
Proposed analysis: Describe what descriptive statistical analysis you are planning on using (i.e., means, correlations, frequencies and/or percentages).
(4) The References section includes a list of all of the references you cited in your proposal. Note that you need to have at at least 3 peer-reviewed sources and 1 of them has to be an empiricalone.

(5) The Materials section (which will later serve as an Appendix) consists of all the materials you use to collect data. If your study is conducted online, make sure to include a link to your survey that can be accessed by us; otherwise include a copy of your questionnaire/whatever your data collection instrument is.
The entire proposal should be written in accordance with the APA format and no longer than 7 pages altogether (excluding Materials section).
