Assignment

Cultural competence is an important value
in many aspects of ABA, including functional behavioral assessments. For the
Unit 7 Assignment, you will evaluate and analyze a case study. The case study
will provide you with information gained from a week of continuous recording.
In the case study presentation you will see a specific client, but you are
required to create your own hypothetical client with a specific cultural or
linguistic identity, age, gender, and other relevant details. So, even though
you see a girl in the case study, you can create a boy or an older person, for
examples. Make sure you describe the cultural, linguistic, gender, age and
other details explicitly.

For your hypothetical client, you will
watch the case study provided, observe and quantify the problem behaviors,
interpret the data, and create a descriptive functional behavioral assessment
(see figure 24.2 for reference). Even though you have created your own client,
use the data from the case study. Also, create a visual display of the data
(see figure 24.1 for reference). Then, identify an appropriate target behavior
and select an intervention. Be sure to discuss behaviors using observable,
measurable terms. Evaluate the data in at least two peer-reviewed research
studies, cite them, and use that evaluation to support your strategy. Discuss
your culturally or linguistically diverse client and how his/her culture might
affect the perception of his/her behavior. Last, discuss how diverse family
systems affect the planning, execution, and results of interventions.

Your Assignment should be typed in a Word
document, double-spaced in 12 point Times New Roman font, meeting the length
requirements (6-8 pages) for your work (not including the title page and
