ASSIGNMENT
You have been working at Parkville Elementary school as the behavior specialist for a few months now. You have conducted an FBA in Mr. Stanza’s classroom for Misha Parker, a 3rd-grade student in his class who is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. You have now been asked to develop a behavior intervention plan for Misha and develop a class-wide system of reinforcement. This classroom is self-contained and there are 10 kids in the class with a variety of needs in this classroom.
The results of the FBA Show that Misha would benefit from tier 3 interventions. According to the indirect assessment completed by Misha’s mother, she likes the following items: Bubbles, iPad games, Thomas the Train, Bubble Guppies, Bouncy balls, and swinging.
Using the scenarios from the Unit 7 Assignment, develop a behavior plan. Your job is to develop a behavior plan that includes tier 3 interventions.
Misha Scenarios for Unit 9 Assignment
Observation Day 1:
In the classroom, it is 11:00 am right before lunch and you notice Misha is fiddling with the items on her desk. The teacher, Mr. Stanza says, “Time for math,” and hands out worksheets to each student. Misha swipes the pencil, eraser, and worksheet from her desk and screams, “No!” The teacher says, “Misha you have to do your work,” and picks up the worksheet. Misha says again, “No!” and tears up the worksheet. Mr. Stanza says, “Ok well then you need to sit quietly.”
Observation Day 2:
At 10:30 am, Mr. Stanza hands out crayons and a coloring page to each student and says, “Now it is time to color the weather. How does it feel outside today, class?” Misha throws a crayon at a peer and giggles. Mr. Stanza says, “Misha please keep your crayons on the table and say sorry.” Misha throws another crayon and giggles.
Observation Day 3:
You decide to observe at 11:15 am today, and Mr. Stanza says to the class, “Time for math, get out your pencils.” Misha takes the items from inside her desk and throws them on the floor. She gets up out of her seat and runs around the room. Mr. Stanza says, “Misha you need to sit down.” She laughs and continues to run around the room. He guides her back to the seat and she sits down and picks up her items that she threw. Mr. Stanza says, “Now everyone writes your name at the top.” Misha throws her pencil and swipes her worksheet off of her desk. Mr. Stanza says, “Misha if you don’t want to do math sit quietly please.”
