Identify & Define Target Behavior – What is important here?
The first target of the capstone project allows for you to demonstrate your ability to take initial information about a client and develop a full case conceptualization, balancing issues related to things like ethics, environmental considerations, and DEI. From there, you will also be asked to demonstrate your ability to take all of these considerations and choose behavioral targets.
Assignment
Choose one scenario based on comprehensive initial assessment.
Write brief case conceptualization – addressing referral concerns, current level of functioning, environmental considerations, ethical considerations, and considerations related to DEI.
Identify behavioral targets for BOTH behavior reduction and skill acquisition and defend why you chose the targets (relate it back to your case conceptualization).
Identify TWO goalsBehavior Reduction – operationally define, discuss potential function, and identify and define replacement behavior.
Skill Acquisition – (MUST be different from replacement behavior above), operationally define, discuss precursor behaviors, etc.
