ABA Therapist - ✔✔Refers to the behavior tech that works under the BCBA and implements behavior plans.
ABC's of Behavior (AKA: 3 term contingency) - ✔✔Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence
Acquisition Task - ✔✔A target that's in the process of being taught. This behavior is not yet a known skill.
Adaptive Skills - ✔✔Self-help skills the child uses for daily living.
Antecedent - ✔✔What happens directly before the behavior or trigger.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) - ✔✔Design, implementation, and evaluation of an environment to produce improvements in behavior.
Applied Behavioral Intervention (ABI) - ✔✔Evidence-based practice that is derived from ABA and are used to address both interfering and on-task behaviors.
Assessment of Basic Language & Learning Skills (ABLLS) - ✔✔An assessment tool created by Sundberg & Partington that allows you to assess across 25 varied domains (gross motor skills, receptive skills, etc) to get a complete picture of a child's functioning level, strengths, and deficits.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - ✔✔AKA: Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD).
A group of neurobiological disorders that affect a child's ability to interact, communicate, relate, play, imagine, and learn. These disorders not only affect brain development/function, but may also be related to immunological, gastrointestinal, and metabolic problems.
BACB - ✔✔The Behavior Analyst Certification Board. Nonprofit established in 1998 to meet professional credentialing.
Behavior - ✔✔Observable & measurable responses to cues in the environment. The future frequency of these responses are influenced by the consequences that follow them.
Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) - ✔✔A plan to manage a child's problematic behavior. Includes fostering positive behavior, environmental changes, reinforcements, and other necessary supports.
Childhood Autism Rating Scale, 2nd Edition (CARS-2) - ✔✔Behavior rating scale that helps to identify children with autism and determine symptom severity through quantifiable ratings based on direct observation. For ages 2+
Chaining - ✔✔Used to teach multi-step skills in which the steps involved are defined and numbered. The steps are defined through task analysis. (EX: Washing hands- 1st turn on water, 2nd pump soap into hands, 3rd rub hands together, etc)
Total Task Analysis - ✔✔The breaking down of a complex skill into smaller, teachable units.
Forward Chaining - ✔✔Teaching each step in order and only progressing when the individual step is mastered (step 1, step 1 and 2, step 1 and 2 and 3, etc.)
Backward Chaining - ✔✔When teaching a chain behavior, the last step is taught first and the learner learns the steps in reverse. (Ex: drawing a smiley face)
Co-morbidity - ✔✔Having multiple diagnoses at the same time. (EX: child having Autism, OCD, and ADHD)
Compulsions - ✔✔Deliberate repetitive behaviors that follow specific rules, such as pertaining to cleaning, checking, or counting.
Consequence - ✔✔What happens directly after a behavior. Can be good or bad.
Deprivation - ✔✔An ABA principle which states that the more deprived of a particular reinforcer, the more powerful that reinforcer will be.
Discrete Trial Training (DTT) - ✔✔A method of instruction in which a task is isolated and taught to an individual by repeatedly presenting the same task to the person.
Discriminative Stimulus (SD) - ✔✔a stimulus, associated with reinforcement, that exerts control over a particular form of behavior.
(EX: washing your hands in hot water- The hot water tap (faucet) is the SD in this situation because selecting the hot tap will lead to the delivery of reinforcement (hot water).
Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) - ✔✔Intervention approach that uses ABA principles and is delivered frequently (20-40 hrs weekly) to young children (under age 5) with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Echolalia - ✔✔Repetition of words, phrases, intonation, or sounds of the speech of others.
Expressive Language - ✔✔The use of verbal behavior/speech to communicate thoughts, ideas, and feelings with others.
Extinction - ✔✔Withholding of reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior, resulting in reduction of that behavior.
Extinction Burst - ✔✔An immediate increase in the frequency of a response when reinforcement is withheld (extinction).
Fine Motor Skills - ✔✔Is the coordination of small muscles, in movements-usually involving the synchronization of hands and fingers-with the
