...and reflect on the use of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with students who have Autism. Aims The aim of my project was to gain knowledge of Applied Behaviour Analysis and its effectiveness in working with children with Autism. My focus questions ask • What are the key principles underlying Applied Behaviour Analysis and how and why it benefits children who are autistic? • What is involved in setting up an Applied Behaviour Analysis program in the classroom environment? Both focus questions have helped me to investigate ABA, implement strategies that ABA employ and reflect on the program as a whole. I became part of a withdrawal program established for the purpose of intensive early intervention based on the principles of ABA. Harris, (2002 p19) explains “Applied Behavior Analysis takes basic principles in behaviour science and emphasizes the intensity that is needed for particular children”. As I progressed through my journey I discovered that ABA was indeed an extremely effective intervention program for autistic children. I felt that the whole process was a huge learning curve which in turn has had positive affects on my future practice. PARTS OF THE REPORT Rationale Explains why I embarked on this particular topic, process I used in decided topic, list of research strategies to achieve aims, Kemmis & McTaggarts (1988) Action Research Planner model Process -What were the key principles underlying Applied Behaviour Analysis and how...

...An Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapist provides behavior modifications as a treatment for autism allowing increased social communication. As a result of the limited treatment options available to those diagnosed, the role is currently under very high demand. Applied Behavioral Analysis is in such high demand because every year one out of every eighty-eight kids are being diagnosed (ABA Therapist Job Description). An effective ABA therapist performs their job description, deals with autistic children and the rewarding benefits of of the treatment. In order to become a Applied Behavioral Analysis Therapist you should have a minimum of a bachelor's degree, however, a master’s or doctorate degree would allow them to work independently...

...In this article, Baer, Wolf, & Risley (1968) state that applied behavior analysis consists of three parts, which are the applied, behavior, and analysis parts. First, they make the claim that the better the application of the principles of ABA will hopefully make society more willing to contribute to the overall betterment of society. The writers point out that this is not a new topic, but the analysis part of the concept is new. After defining analytic behavior analysis, the write that the difference between applied and basic research is what the study looks at for the reasoning behind the behavior. Baer, Wolf, & Risley claim that applied research looks at what is going to be helpful in making the behavior better, but non-applied research can look at any part of the behavior. Another difference between the two types of research, they claim, is that applied behavior will look at a behavior that is important socially and will look at the behavior usually is an environmental situation....

...All children with autism don’t need Applied Behavior Analysis therapy. There are other medications kids can take to deal with autism. However, as mentioned in the Early Treatment article, those kids who need the therapy should start it at an early age to be able to get good outcomes. It can essentially eliminate developmental delays for them by the time they reach age 3. It is also very important to develop communicative competence for adults with autism since that is a key factor to everything in their life. As they prepare for the real world, they gain knowledge and skills to develop good...

...ent Applied Behavioral Analysis and Case Studies Bobby, Jackie, and Emma Joshua Stewart Kaplan University PS360- Unit 4 Assignment Prof. Chrystal Ayala June 15, 2015 Applied Behavioral Analysis and Case Studies Bobby, Jackie, and Emma Applied Behavioral Analysis is a natural science that aims to systematically apply intervention processes using the behavior learning theory in order to remove or change undesirable socially significant behaviors (Cooper, Heron, Heward, 2007). Applied behavioral analysis can be applied in many setting and situations and the intervention process and techniques depend on those settings and individual situations. Applied behavioral analysis is used to modify target behaviors that can occur in the home, in the community, in an educational setting, and is even used to aid in treatment for rehabilitation programs. Through the use of different components of ABA such as operant conditioning, reinforcement, modification programs, and extinction to name a few, one will develop a behavioral modification plan to best suit each client’s specific needs. In the first case, Bobby is an 8-year-old boy who cannot keep his room cleaned or organized despite the fact that he is constantly reminded by his father to do so. Mr. Kelley would like to establish a modification process for Bobby to encourage him to keep his bedroom clean on a regular basis. First the target behavior and modification process must be identified in order to determine the appropriate...

...Applied Modeling with Military Operations (non-war) Modeling or model is a simplified representation of a situation or problem and modeling is the process of building, refining, and analyzing that representation for greater insight and improved decision making. Modeling is also a mathematical or logical depiction of a system’s behavior. Simulation, is otherwise the device that implements the model. In many military operations, simulation is distinguished among three classes (rough). Live simulations, this involves real people using real equipment in the physical world (real world), like large field exercises. Virtual simulation, involves real people using simulators, flight simulators and/or actual information systems, this often provides realistic acts. Lastly, constructive simulations, this involves simulated people and systems operating in the simulated world, as in things like simulated combat, here users set the initial conditions and run the simulation to see what happens. Simulations are developed from the thoughts of human designers. All simulations are tested to assure accuracy and effectiveness, to illuminate specific issues or problems. The process that covers these mistakes and issues is associated with verification, validation and accreditation. These three sources are applied to a simulation development cycle that operated by the real world system, and is replicated and identified and the conceptual model of it is then identified. This conceptual model is...

...APPLIED ETHICS A. What is applied ethics? 1. So far we have been focused either on normative ethics, which studies what features make something good/bad, an act right/wrong or a trait virtuous or vicious - or metaethics, which studies philosophical questions about the meaning of ethical words, or the nature of ethical facts 2. Applied ethics is a distinct category of ethical philosophy A. What is applied ethics? 3. Deals with difficult moral questions and controversial moral issues that people actually face in their lives Examples: the moral issues regarding… abortion euthanasia giving to the poor sex before marriage the death penalty gay/lesbian marriage (or other rights) war tactics censorship so-called “white lies” etc. A. What is applied ethics? 4. Given the time we have left in the semester, we’re going to focus on only two example issues: • Whether or not we are morally obligated to help the less fortunate (especially those in other nations) • Whether or not abortion is morally wrong 5. Why we haven’t spent more time on this: • Often results in gridlocked or endless discussions • Having some prior knowledge of some normative theories helps give a framework for discussion • Brings in issues that are not philosophical E.g., a discussion about whether or not the death penalty is morally OK may require sociological information about its effectiveness, etc. B. Suggestions for having good discussions 1. Abortion is a very emotional and charged issue - Students are bound...
