Description

Learning Module Assignment and Journal entry.

Your Final Project requires you to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention on the

behavior you focused on in Units 1, 3, and 6. In Unit 1 you identified a personal target behavior to

change. In Unit 3, you answered a number of questions about that behavior. In Unit 6 you conducted a

functional behavior assessment and selected an intervention to use. By now you have had at least 2

weeks of attempting to change the behavior by implementing your intervention.

Clearly, describe the intervention you implemented. Provide sufficient detail such that readers of your

intervention procedure would be able to replicate the procedure with high treatment fidelity. Provide a

scholarly description of the evidence base supporting the approach you selected to change your

behavior. Then, describe how effective the intervention was in changing your own behavior, what

problems you had, any steps you could have taken to achieve better results, and any other relevant

insights that might be applicable regarding your attempt to modify the behavior.

Now consider all of the tools you have available to you now that we are nearing an end in the course.

Are there changes you would make to enhance your intervention since you created the plan for it in Unit

6? In particular, would you now incorporate antecedent approaches or punishment-based approaches?

Why or why not?

Please be sure to discuss any ethical considerations that might be applicable with respect to the type of

the intervention you chose and the behavior being addressed.
