For this assignment, you will create a sample case study, through which you will demonstrate application of various principles of applied behavior analysis in a practice setting of your choice. The hypothetical client you identify should demonstrate the need for a skills-based assessment to address the primary area of intervention, as opposed to an emphasis on problem behavior reduction. The case scenario will consist of the following components:
- Identify a hypothetical client, including setting for service delivery, age, and any diagnoses related to the need for behavior analytic services
- Describe the reason for referral, including socially significant areas of intervention that you choose to address through your treatment delivery
- Summarize hypothetical assessment results, including an overview of the assessment(s) conducted and the findings related to implications for treatment planning
- Summarize key items from the BCBA 5th edition task list that you will utilize within your behavior analytic treatment
- Develop a treatment plan to guide the implementation of these behavior analytic principles in an applied setting
