Steps to Prioritizing Behavior
Definition
1. This is the literal number one priority– behavior that poses a danger to the client or to others. Not much else to say about that.
2. Behaviors that the client will use often, like going to the store, putting on clothes, sitting in a car seat, etc.
3. Chronic long-lasting behaviors or skill deficits like loud vocalizations, limited self-help skills, and limited communication, to name a few.
4. Behaviors that will produce high rates of reinforcement, like buying something, social skills, job skills, etc.
5. Behaviors that are needed for future skill development and independent functioning, like certain prerequisite behaviors, or behavior cusps, pivotal behaviors.
6. Behavior that will reduce negative or unwanted attention from others. I urge you not to prioritize behaviors that make other people feel better. But, if a behavior is preventing the client from doing things they would enjoy, or causing them harm, then this would be important.
7. Behaviors that will produce reinforcement for significant others. Not what you think. But it is all about the things you wish your significant other would do. It’s also hygiene-related behavior– learning to flush the toilet or help with some of the household chores.
8. Behaviors that are likely to be changed with intervention. There is a behavior change that has proven effective, especially given the knowledge and expertise of the particular behavior analyst. If it’s likely to help and be effective, then consider it.
9. The behavior change is cost-effective. What is the cost and expected time commitment for behavior change? Is it reasonable? Cost should not be a barrier if a behavior is in need of change.
Write all that down because it’s probably going to be on your test.
Term
Social Significance of Target Behavior: Assess the relative Social Significance of Target Behaviors: (10 questions)
Definition
1. Will the behavior produce reinforcement in the client’s natural environment after treatment ends?
2. Is the behavior a necessary prerequisite for a useful skill? (e.g holding a writing utensil correctly is a necessary prerequisite to learning to write).
• Consider cultural norms when assessing the “usefulness” of a behavior.
3. Will the behavior increase access to environments where other important behaviors can be learned and used?
Think: Mainstreaming
4. Will changing the behavior predispose others to interact with the client in a more appropriate and supportive manner? (e.g, turn-taking skills reduction in aggressive behaviors, participate in community and cultural events, etc.)
5. Is the behavior a behavioral cusp or a pivotal behavior?
• Associated with pivotal response training (PRT) and teaching social skills to individuals with developmental disabilities.
6. Is this an age-appropriate behavior? (E.G, driving, toileting, cutting food, reading, etc.)
• Consider cultural norms and expectations for “age-appropriateness”
• Especially important if the client’s functional skills are significantly below typical per-formance.
7. If the proposed target behavior is to be reduced or eliminated, what adaptive behav-ior will replace it?
• Take a constructional approach if planning to eliminate a behavior, establish an adaptive replacement behavior, and design a plan that ensures that the replacement behavior is learned.
• Constructional approach: A physiphical approach to behavioral treatment that in-cludes building replacement behaviors when the behavioral intervention aims to eliminate challenging behavior.
8. Does the behavior represent the actual problem or goal, or is it only indirectly re-lated?
Example: Teaching phonics as a prerequisite to reading as a primary target wouldn’t be sufficient. My real target is reading skills.
9. Is this just talk or is it the real behavior of interest? (e.g., admitting you have a problem is not a behavior change)
10. Is the goal of the behavior change program a behavior?
Example: Passing the exam Behavior, but increasing fluency, studying, and answering questions correctly-Behavior.
Example: Losing weight is a behavior, but increasing healthy eating and exercise are behaviors that can be targeted.
