Transcripts
um one of the the most uh important
things that we uh that we do is the
implementation of Behavior Support plans
or Behavior Support programs um it's
very important to uh to understand that
before uh you have any Behavior Support
plan or any type of behavior
intervention U you first have to have
that assessment conducted first and an
assessment would compose of uh direct uh
observations um interviews indirect
methodologies those types of things so
what you're trying to do is to determine
what the function of the behavior is um
function being what it is at the
individuals trying to gain or to
communicate or to escape or get out of
three of the key components that we
really like to look at um to help
support teachers and direct support
professionals and families um are
proactive uh procedures reactive
procedures and also replacement Behavior
procedures and I'll talk a little bit
about the three of them the proactive
procedures are very important because it
helps to give uh a person that's
implementing a Behavior Support plan
which would be a family member a direct
support staff or or or an educational
professional it gives them the
opportunity to have a a group of of
things that they can utilize that could
potentially uh avert a particular
unwanted behavior from occurring or to
reinforce a behavior that they would
possibly want to occur so proactive
procedures are very important because it
gives you a set of tools of what you can
do and how you can uh shape your
environment to get a more positive
outcome from an
individual the second thing that I had
mentioned were were reactive procedures
and often times people think of reactive
procedures and say um is this a how I
would react to uh to an inappropriate or
a targeted behavior that I wanted to be
changed and and that's that's a large
component of it is how we are going to
be prepared to react to a targeted and
well-defined behavior or group of of
behaviors um and how we're going to
react to those uh as a whole and
consistently so if we're talking about
uh a family member uh or family members
or or educational professionals or
direct support staff we're not just
talking about how one person will will
react but how we react consistently and
what those strategies are of how we're
we're prepared to do so and react
appropriately keeping in mind as we had
talked about earlier we're going to
respond not how we think or how we are
uh uh how our instincts have us it's it
to respond but it's going to be based
upon what the function of the behavior
is so we're not going to respond or
react to a to with an attention seeking
Behavior if it's to gain attention we're
going to react in a different manner so
we've got the proactive procedures we've
got the reactive procedures and the most
important is what we call replacement
Behavior techniques or skills and that's
one of the beauties of what we do at
Elite Behavior Analysis and what apply
Behavior Analysis does is it focuses
very heavily on teaching more socially
appropriate behaviors so the individual
can still maintain what it is they're
trying to gain from the inappropriate
behavior so I'm going to teach
throughout the day every hour every 15
minutes I'm going to to develop a set of
skills within that Behavior Support plan
that helps that individual learn a more
socially appropriate skill so if I have
uh an individual that um is using
inappropriate language
and every time that inappropriate
language is used it's to get attention
and the parent or the educational
professional or the direct support staff
responds well we're going to teach in
very
clearcut uh not abstract interventions
but very specific do this do not do this
what to do to increase a behavior what
to do to decrease a behavior it's going
to be very systematic it's going to be
written on a very uh userfriendly level
of terminology without all the fancy
mumbo jumbo words it's going to be um
it's going to include um interventions
that are going to be very easily to
implement and one of the things that we
really like to do at Elite Behavior
Analysis uh within the behavior analysts
that we have is one of our monitors is
we want to be able to have Behavior
Support plans that you can fold up put
in your back pocket and anybody can pull
it out and use it even if they have no
knowledge of Applied Behavior Analysis
whatsoever so the importance of Behavior
Support plans are going to be having a a
a tool that has a set of uh of
procedures that anyone is going to be
able to pick up that's going to assist
them and what we do at Elite Behavior
Analysis because everything is
individualized we don't write Behavior
Support plans that we feel are going
going to be written for us we're writing
those Behavior Support plans relying
heavily on the people within the
environment we're relying on the
educational professionals the teachers
the PA Pros the principles the special
education directors we're relying
heavily on mom dad sister brother we're
relying heavily on Direct support Care
staff your your uh individ independent
support coordinators your personal
assistants the people that work within
the environment because you are the ones
that are going to be implementing those
plans and that's what separates us from
uh from other schools of disciplines and
from other companies we utilize the
information that you provide to us
because it's your plan it's it it
doesn't work if we don't have the
information from you we're not the ones
that are trying to get a behavior change
over time we can't we can't see the
individual always so components that
make a Behavior Support plan effective
that Elite Behavior Analysis implements
they're all individualized they are all
yours they're all they're written by
Behavior analysts but they're the
they're the moms and the dads and and
the and the teachers and the par
professionals and the direct support
staffs they're yours and and uh having
having that information from from those
uh from those sources uh make what we do
very successful um and it's very
important to have those components not
just what were going to do to react to
uh an inappropriate behavior but what
are we going to do as a team to give you
the skills to teach more socially
appropriate behavior so they can be a
part of of a greater uh and stronger
community and to be more successful uh
in their environments and then also in
life in
general
