In order to create a behavior intervention plan behavior analysts have to conduct a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA). This assessment is necessary to determine what the functions of the problem behaviors serve. A functional behavior assessment helps to create a behavior intervention to decrease the problem behaviors and increase a more appropriate behavior (Cooper, Heron, & Howard, 2007). Furthermore, FBA also includes the illness, client’s medical condition and medications they may be taking. After utilizing direct observations, functional analysis and interviews behavior analyst can address the problem behaviors the client needs improvement with. It is essential to determine which behavior needs to be changed first. When behaviors poses any danger to a client or others it should be addressed immediately (Cooper, et al., 2007). Behavior analysts must define the target behaviors clearly so any one can understand what they are observing and recording. Toby’s…
In my self-directed behavioral change project, I encountered a lot of difficult challenges and obstacles in reaching my ultimate goal: a better night’s sleep. My goals for this behavioral change project were to establish a proper sleep and bedtime regimen, getting a full-night’s rest and ultimately feeling more alert and energetic through the day. My main goals were to improve my sleep cycle/regimen by getting the necessary eight hours of sleep I need every night and waking up in the morning feeling fully rested and not sleepy, tired, or groggy at all. This is what I set out to do and I recorded all the times I went to bed, times I’d fall asleep, times I’d wake up in the middle of the night, and times I’d wake up next morning. I recorded all of my observations and occurrences for two weeks and noticed some positive change in my bed-time pattern. I was able to get the necessary eight hours of sleep every night and felt a difference the next day.…
