4.01

Describing conditions for program _____.

(success)

describe to the client/guardian the conditions necessary for the program to be effective. 

4.02 

Envionmental conditions that preclude _________

(implementation)

If environmental conditions preclude implementation of a behavior analytic program, recommend that other professional assistance be sought.

4.03 

Environmental conditions that hamper __________

(implementation)

If environmental conditions hamper implementation of the behavior analytic program, eliminate the environmental constraints or identify the obstacles to doing so. 

4.04

Approving ________

(interventions)

obtain the client/guardian approval in writing of the intervention before implementation

4.05

Reinforcement/Punishment

Recommend reinforcement rather than punishment whenever possible. If punishment procedures are necessary, always include reinforcement procedures for alternative behavior in the program.

4.06

Avoiding harmful _______

(reinforcers)

minimize the use of reinforcers that maybe harmful to the long-term health of the client  (e.g., cigarettes, fattening food), or that may require undesirable deprivation procedures as MOs. 

4.07

Ongoing ______ collection

(data)

collect data necessary to assess progress within the program. 

4.08

Program modifications

modify the program based on data

4.09

Program modifications ______

(consent)

explain program modifications and the reasons for modifications to the client/guardian and obtain consent to implement. 

4.10 

Least restrictive _______

(procedures)

review and appraise alternative interventions and recommend the least restrictive procedures likely to be effective

B. Experimental Design: B-01

Use the dimensions of ABA (Baer, Wolf, & Risley, 1968) to evaluate whether interventions are behavior analytic in nature. 

C. Behavior change considerations: C-01

State and plan for the possible unwanted effects of reinforcement. 

C. Behavior change considerations: C-02

State and plan for the possible unwanted effects of punishment

C. Behavior change considerations: C-03

State and plan for the possible unwanted effects of extinction

G. Identification of the Problem: G-04

Explain behavioral concepts using nontechnical language

G. Identification of the Problem: G-05

Describe and explain behavior (including private events) in behavior-analytic (nonmentalistic) terms

H. Measurement: H-01

Select a measurement system to obtain representative data given the dimensions of the behavior and the logistics of observing and recording

J. Intervention: J-12

Program for maintenance

J. Intervention: J-13

Select behavioral cusps as goals for intervention when appropriate

FK: Explain and Behave in Accordance with the Philosophical Assumptions of Behavior Analysis: FK-09

Distinguish between the conceptual analysis of behavior, experimental analysis of behavior, applied behavior analysis, and behavioral service delivery
