Paula: Thank you
for your interesting discussion post for this weeks topic. I think you chose an
appropriate behavior to address. Utilizing a utensil appropriately is an
extremely important skill to have within our society. This skill may determine
how one is viewed by their peers within their school setting as well as their
professional one. If they do not utilize a utensil appropriately they may be
looked down upon. I also liked how you pointed out the fact that an analyst
really needs to evaluate how addressing this particular skill may impact their
cultural background. I know many cultures do not utilize utensils when
consuming their meals so this skill may not be particularly important to them.
All in all good work! Thank you.
Sara: Great job
on your post. When I read the definition for the behavior rule, I think of
choosing behaviors that will be self-sustaining or choosing behaviiors that
will become a habit for the individual or perhaps replace a negative habit with
something more positive. For example, wearing a seat belt is a habit. People
who wear seat belts whenever they are in a motor vehicle as required by law
have a habit of exhibiting this behavior. This is generally a habit that will
continue especially with “click it or ticket” campaigns all across
the country. I like the behavior you chose!

Nia: I really
liked your idea of labeling everything out in the box. I had to use it
because it helped me to keep my thoughts organized for this discussion
post. I really like the behavior that you chose for this discussion as
shoes are an important part of our daily clothing items. Many places do
not even allow people to come into their establishment unless you have shoes
and a shit on. I cannot believe how many people run around in the summer
months barefoot. I think it is a safety issue as well as a health
concern. I personally have an issue with feet so really like your
idea of keeping shoes on when in a public place. Great job on your
post.
Ashton: I think
most of these strategies can be used in almost all behavior change programs to
promote generalization. For example, the first strategy suggests
including all relevant settings the behavior will need to occur in. When
there are multiple settings, the challenge is to select and focus on those
environments that will be visited the most often. As you mentioned, it
would not be realistic or possible for that matter, to expose a client to every
possible environment if there are many. However, through training for
generalization for the most important environments first, hopefully, the target
behavior will eventually generalize to other settings not included in training.
In addition to this first strategy, as you mentioned, it would be easy to
design a bathroom similar to the one at your client’s home to increase the
chances of generalization to occur. Also, as I mentioned in your first
post, use of the timer will support self-monitoring and therefore
generalization.

Gayle: I enjoyed
reading your post. Maintaining confidentiality is so important and can be
easily violated with the use of teleconsulting if multiple family members are
present during sessions. One also runs the risks of any communication
completed through email and what not being accessed by others. I think
that teleconsulting is a great option for emergencies, such as bad
weather. The only concern would be if the bad weather prevents the
equipment from working properly. Having face to face time allows behavior
analysts to pick up on little things that may not be apparent during
teleconsulting sessions as their view is limited. Great job!
Brittany: I
agree with you regarding the meaning of telepsychology and the possible ethical
challenges of using it when providing behavioral services. According to Bailey
& Burch (2011), its important to remember that certain behavioral
procedures are more effective when given face to face with the client than when
using telepsychology. Another possible issue when using telepsychology relates
to the damage or misuse of the equipment by others, therefore; practitioners
must explain clients parent about the importance of taking care the equipment.
On the other hand, I really like the example you have mentioned and how you
deal with the clients needs. Thanks for your post! I agree with you regarding

Brittany: A good editing of the declaration based on
your experience in the field. I did like the personal nature of your area of
expertise. I think that it would assist with establishing rapport as it seems
down to earth. I like in the explanation of what you do that you expanded the
training to include not only the signee but also the other caregiver who may
not be present. To have a successful intervention, if both parents are present
with a child, I think having them both involved would increase the
effectiveness of the intervention. The language used was easy to understand as
well and explained the process in detail.
Christina : I
enjoyed the way that you set up your discussion this week. You left in all of
the relevant parts from the example and changed the facts about yourself. I
have approximately the same level of experience as you do in the filed: a few
months of ABA supervised work. I wonder how potential clients would view this.
I work for a company that is supervising me so that I can get my hours in to
sit for the BCBA exam as well. The BCBA always goes to the initial assessment
to meet the families. They are the ones who give an introduction to what it is
that our company will be providing. Is this the same situation for you or do you
have a different situation? I know that we all have to start somewhere, but it
just seems a bit awkward to put it in print like this. I suppose this is part
of the reason that the BACB ensures that we all have 1500 hours of experience
in before we sit for the exam. What are your thoughts on this? Good post,
