...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 and why this benefits...

Many of these techniques include Role playing, scheduling of weekly activities, self-monitoring and behavior modification. This field is my top choice as I have grown interest in this field since my son was diagnosed with being on the Autism Spectrum. Many schools designed for Autism use ABA (applied behavioral analysis) which is a program of behavior therapy that helps the individual reach success in their individual goals. Behavior modification which includes rewarding the individual for doing something towards positive behavior. Behavioral Therapy is like any other therapist career and requires a Master’s Degree. You will find that many Behavioral Therapist hold doctoral degrees as well, since this type of therapy is so broad and can withstand specialty studies (e.g. ABA). Behavioral...

Some other IT auditors work for CPA firms that provide auditing services, and are required to travel to evaluate the information systems of clients.

...Ethics Awareness Inventory Analysis Ethics Awareness Inventory Analysis According to my Ethics Awareness Inventory Scoring Summary I learned my ethical profile is most closely aligned with obligation and least closely aligned with equity. I interpret the obligation part of my ethical profile as my decisions are based on obligation, responsibility, and devotion. I make moral decisions based on my upbringing and my personal and professional experiences. Growing up I was taught to respect, to have dignity, to want the best for every person, and to treat others equally. I feel an obligation to treat everyone equally. I believe every person should be free to make his or her own decisions. I interpret the lack of the equity part of my ethical profile as sometimes having difficulty making fair and impartial decisions. I will sometimes make ethical decisions based on experience, knowledge, and current circumstances versus what is right or wrong. I can admit I have an inclination to change my beliefs based on experience, knowledge, and current circumstances. Personal Development My educational and professional experiences have affected my ethical thinking, decision-making, and how I react to conflict in situations where people have different interpretations of ethical behavior. My educational experiences have thought me to behave with integrity, show excellent character, take responsibility seriously, and to follow through. These characteristics have given me a solid ethical...

We also found that non-professional investors use more fundamental tools such as "analysts' recommendations" when they buy stocks and more technical tools such as "support and resistance lines" when they sell stocks.

In 1972, the first CMA exam and accreditation was administered to accounting professionals (CMA Handbook, 2012). Forty years later, the program has developed into an internationally recognized program. Individuals who wish to distinguish themselves from thousands of other accountants have the opportunity for a board of regents to review their credentials and pass a two-part examination, which will provide certification. The areas of expertise include: financial planning, analysis, control, and decision support (CMA Handbook, 2012). This paper will cover the basic requirements of following the CMA designation and benefits it will bring. The first step that must be taken by a candidate is becoming a member of the Institute of Management Accountants. Becoming a member requires paying dues and upholding the ethical/professional stance of the organization. To fulfill the educational requirements of a CMA, an individual must receive a bachelor’s degree, in any major, from an accredited university or college. A complete listing of pre-approved schools is found at http://univ.cc/world.php (CMA Handbook, 2012).
