| Intermittent. He clearly does not have mastery of turing/starting the machine. | No. Choice of alternative activities. Access to additional reinforcement following the completion of the task. The ability to a "get out of exercise free" card 1-2 times per week. Video modeling to teach the starting up procedure. | Video modeling above. Higher rate of reinforcement for self initiating/completion. |
| Adam will most likely engage | Yes | better reinforcer |
| Minimal | Using more positive reinforcement while engaging in the task | Taking the individual walking in a different setting with a group of peers |
| Low | It requires a staff member to get him started with the task. Working on completing the task without staff help should be a priority. | Find an exercise routine that is more preferred. |
| low | no, increase staff support | changed to something meaninful and applied like a walk to a park, walk to the store, etc |
| low for the treadmill and high for the video | this program requires staff prompting and help with starting treadmill and requires video. Not sustainable without staff support. May consider making video contingent on certain distances walked and then extending distance walked over time | see to find other exercise activities such as walking outside or in a mall |
| Adequate | Probably. Teach Adam how to use additional exercise equipment…stationary bike…and give him a choir | |
| not alot of engagement | yes | walk alongside peers or timed |
| Low to medium | task analysis/chaining to teach individual how to start machine on own | |
| Low | Only requiring him to use the treadmill some days or get to watch the video after | Add rest time |
| moderate-with video | yes-video length | choice of video prior |
| good | more staff would make it reliabe | add staff |
| Low motivation | No | New videos |
| Client is engaged but activity is not meaningful and appears to be becoming aversive as evidenced by behavior escalation | It is not if it’s leading to behavior escalation | Lessen the amount of time per session. Break the task up into two or tbeee shorten sessions throughout the day to become more manageable. As an alternative, have the client walk the same amount of time around the campus so the task is less mundane |
| Pretty motivated to watch the videos... | How many days per week? Also, allow the video watching ONLY if he's on the treadmill walking. | Follow up on videos... what did you learn? Follow up on weight - how much have you lost? |
| N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Moderate | No the staff needs to turn the machine on. | Teach a TA for turning the machine on at low speeds then starting his video then increasing speed. |
| Moderate engagement with reinforcement | It is only sustainable if he is not escaping. Changing the video could reduce escape | Going for a walk outside |
| Medium | No because he requires behavioral support | Sometimes walk outside |
| moderate | variety of movement activities to increase interest | choice of activities |
| The program task provides a moderate level of engagement for Adam. While he does not find the treadmill inherently enjoyable, his engagement is increased by the opportunity to watch preferred videos during the activity. On most days, this is sufficient to maintain participation, indicating conditional engagement that depends on external reinforcement. | Currently, the task requires some staff support to initiate (e.g., helping Adam start the treadmill), but is otherwise self-sustaining once he begins. To improve sustainability, teaching Adam to independently start and operate the treadmill could reduce reliance on staff. Visual prompts or a task analysis with gradual fading of staff assistance could be considered. | To make the task more meaningful, the treadmill activity could be paired with a choice component—allowing Adam to select the video he watches, choose the time of day, or alternate treadmill walking with another form of physical activity he might enjoy more. This would increase autonomy and potentially improve motivation and engagement. |
| In review | In review | In review |
| good | no | vary up the videos |
| low | No. | Walking outside or walking to a location that provides reinforcement/value to the learner. |
| Somewhat engaged but need to find more motivating things to watch. | Yes. need to find motivating videos and set up an expectation. | set parameters |
