For this assignment you will provide a full draft of your slide deck that will be used for your Week 8 presentation. You will start the presentation with a slide selecting ONE of the provided audiences, with a brief description of why you are selecting that audience. The next slides will include short phrases or sentences as bullet points to cover all areas of evaluating the first six months of your treatment plan in language that matches your selected audience. Your slide deck will include a brief description of your case study and intervention plan. After this short description the focus of your slides and presentation should be on providing an evaluation of progress related to the intervention, including supervision details (IOA and treatment integrity data) and a visual display of data to show the progress of your target behavior for reduction and your selected replacement behavior.
Be sure to review the rubric as well as the instructions to make sure you have covered all required aspects of this assignment.
Remember you are acting as the supervisor on this case but are not yet a BCBA.
Audience Selection and Justification (Slide 1)
Slide 1 should include a label of who you are presenting your data to and why you selected this audience. This slide can be a short paragraph or bullet points that cover the following:
Your selection of ONE of the following audiences:
Caregivers/parents.
School administrative team.
The supervising BCBA.
Registered behavior technician/direct interventionist.
Provide a rationale for why you selected this audience for your presentation of your treatment data and progress.
One slide maximum with a short paragraph or a few bullet points.
Presentation Slide Draft
The remaining slides will outline your 8–15-minute presentation that you will submit in Week 8. The purpose of this presentation draft is for you to have the opportunity to get feedback on the content of your presentation prior to submitting it. Each section, detailed below, should be included in your slide draft assignment.
Case Description and Target Behavior (1 slide)
Briefly describe the individual and target behavior of your case study as would be appropriate for your selected audience, using a pseudonym.
Provide a label and operational definition for the target behavior for reduction.
Confirm the function of the target behavior for reduction.
Briefly state the social significance of the behavior.
Adhere to and cite current BACB Ethics CodeLinks to an external site. and Capella Compassion Code [PDF] elements related to your case.
Preferably, your case study would be based on your assignments from your PSY7712 assessment, PSY7713 behavior intervention, and PSY7724 supervision plan. Keep in mind that if your case study was someone from your personal life (such as your child) it is only acceptable to use this person as an example for academic purposes. It is unethical for you to provide behavior analytic services to family members.
Your presentation draft includes bullet points on the slide that you will use to support your audio presentation. Audio is NOT required for this assignment and will be added in the Week 8 assignment.
Brief Intervention Summary (One Slide)
Briefly outline intervention procedures that were used. This description should be brief because at this point in your supervision plan, all procedures have already been approved and been implemented for six months. You are providing your audience with a short overview of the strategies before presenting progress related to effectiveness of those strategies.
