Identify one or more techniques from recent research the clinician might use to address this clinical scenario. | How might the technique be adapted for learners with an assessment and learning history that might be generally classified as lower-functioning? |
---|---|
Keep the topics or activities used the same across both settings and new partners | Provide frames for the client to substitute words in |
use multiple exemplars for a variety of scripts | teaching a frame for scripting |
Ensure that they are using multiple exemplars whenever something is being scripted. | Use script frames |
Behavior analyst should test conversational skills across different stimuli, people and environments | Probe generalization across one thing first, before programming for several things. For example, across stimuli instead of across stimuli and people |
Teaching in multiple exemplars with BCBA prior to generalization with RBT | Teaching one exemplar with RBT only |
Use a variable version of the stimuli that was used to teach the skill. Switch settings. Use multiple exemplars. | Teaching the frames or certain phrases/questions to asl from a script. |
social validity | keep one variable consitent and generalize one compenonet at a time |
multiple exemplars, multiple people, multiple settings | generalizing one thing at a time |
Competency-Based Training | simplified scripts, visual supports, frequent reinforcement, errorless learning, consistent routines, breaking down tasks into smaller steps. |
conversational skills that the learner can practice during RBT visits | Before the behavior analyst implements the program she goes back to check whether there are adequate considerations for generalization. |
good examples | |
Generlaization across stimuli | Only change one stimuli at a time |
Check with individual, Check with peers and family or school...observe | Check with individual, Check with peers and family or school...observe |
probes | provide a visual of prompts |
Use multiple exemplars, but keep one of them constant during this phase. | Keep more than one exemplar constant |
Involve a sibling or another peer that would be available during that time to ensure that the client is practicing with more than just one person, his RBT. | Initially have the learner practice the skill with his RBT, once mastered introduce the skill with another adult. Then start introducing other peers while still using prompting. Once it has been mastered with both adults and peers begin fading the prompts. |
Interviews | Generalizations |
Observe client with peers and assess what peers through social validity measures may be available for generalization sessions (e.g., siblings). | Using script frames may be useful during BST. |
Observe, survey | Visuals, facilitated, |
Observation of peer conversations | Using script fading |
use a variety of scripts from the beginning | provide a frame |
Test | Test |
Consider multiple examples of scripts for conversations during different environments | Consider master criteria before implementation in novel environments |
Role play, using scripts and frames. | Start with us |
role playing in different settings | guide the learner on interactions across different settings |
