Unit 9 Assignment

Unit 9 Assignment Name: Technician 1 Evaluation Form Scoring Key: 0 (Never), 1 (Sometimes), 2 (Usually), 3 (Always) Learner Focused Score Feedback Therapist keeps the learner within arm's reach and/or eyesight at all times (unless otherwise specifically noted). 1 The technician diverted her attention from the learner on many occasions. Therapist blocks all unsafe circumstances 3 Room was clean and clear from obstructing objects. Therapist maintains the learner's dignity (by keeping the learner clean, using age-appropriate language with the learner, speaking positively about the learner in the learner's presence, etc.) 2 Did not engage with the learner as often. Although the technician used appropriate language, her tone did not change much. Behavior Score Feedback Therapist maintains appropriate tone of voice and demeanor in the presence of both preferred and non-preferred behaviors. 2 The technician grabs the learner’s arm when trying to get him back in his chair instead of a giving a verbal warning. Therapist uses least to most prompting. 2 Therapist assesses the function of the learner's behavior in-the-moment and responds accordingly. 3 The learner wandered off and was curious about what the technician was looking at on the floor. The technician then attempts to grab the learners arm to redirect him back to his seat. Reinforcement Score Feedback Therapist only reinforces appropriate and correct behavior. 3 The technician promotes the learner’s color identification. The therapist delivers reinforcers immediately after appropriate behavior. 2 The technician was not consistent with reinforcements. Therapist uses differential reinforcement (reinforces desired behaviors and withholds reinforcement for problem behavior) throughout the session. 1 In some instances, the technician reinforces desired behaviors after directing the learner to the correct color. Reassesses the learner's motivation throughout the session as needed (when the learner shows signs of satiation). 0 The learner's motivation was not properly assessed during the activity. Therapist only uses positive directives (e.g.," lights stay on" rather than "don't turn the lights off"). 3 Therapist used positive directives appropriately. Teaching Score Feedback Therapist obtains the learner's attention prior to delivering instruction. 3 Notably, the technician waited for the learner to be ready before instructing him. Therapist states instructions clearly and in a natural tone of voice. 3 Specifically, instructions were clearly stated. Therapist avoids inadvertent prompts (ex: gesturing to correct response). 2 In some cases, the therapist gestures the learner to the correct response. Therapist introduces prompts from least to most following errors. 3 The most significant thing that the therapist does is to emphasize colors that the learner had issues in identifying. Afterwards, the therapist combines different colors, which the learner is able to identify correctly. Technician 1 Goals and Performance Expectations Goals All tasks have to be prepared ...
