USE the ruberic as a guide to make sure you deatil the right information in each section. Please read the document uploaded and it has the scenerio you will use , the operartional defintion of what “engagement” is in this scenario , the data collection procedure used and based on the information provided in the document. Below you will add the following subsections detailing the reinforcement system you would create to teach and maintain “engagement”. I Use the bolded words as headings for each section. ***Important*** Assignments without these headers will not be graded. PLEASE USE YOUR OWN WORDS AND MAKE IT READABLE THAT ANYONE WHO PROVIDES REINFORCMENT CAN UNDERSTAND.

Reinforcer Identification
Describe how you will identify potential reinforcers (50-100 words)
10 points
Identifies a preference assessment that is appropriate for the client.
Preference assessment is described with enough detail for replication.
-4 if the answer does not include the name of a preference assessment strategy.
(indirect or direct)
Point deductions for each critical feature (3 total).
-2 for each critical feature that is missing or does not align with course materials.
OR
-1 if the feature is included and is an approximation to an accurate response but is vaguely described.
Reinforcement during Acquisition
Thoroughly describe what your reinforcement strategy would look like as you begin successfully. teaching this skill. If you will use shaping, please describe at least three successive approximations that would be used. (50-100 words)
10 points
Describes reinforcement strategy to be used, including critical features from class
Point deductions for each critical feature
-2 for each critical feature that is missing or does not align with course materials.
OR
-1 if the feature is included and is an approximation to an accurate response, but is vaguely described
Reinforcement Monitoring
During intervention, how will you know if your “reinforcers” are in fact reinforcers?25-50 words
10 points
Describes method of confirming reinforcers, including critical features from class (hint: How will data be analyzed?)
Point deductions for each critical feature
-5 for each critical feature that is missing or does not align with course materials.
OR
-3 if the feature is included and is an approximation to an accurate response, but is vaguely described
Reinforcement after Acquisition
Thoroughly describe what your reinforcement strategy would look like as your skill nears readiness for a maintenance phase (50-100 words)
10 points
Describes practices of transition from acquisition to maintenance (hint: Discuss fading; What consequences maintain the behavior after the intervention?)
Point deductions for each critical feature
-2 for each critical feature not described
-2 Additional points if schedule thinning recommendations do not match the dimension of behavior
Technical Term for Reinforcement
Identify the terms that describe the types of reinforcement you would use. This should correspond to what you have described above.
5 points
Terms match the methods implemented in previous entry.
-1 for:
Each term that does not have a matching description in the previous entries.
Each term that is described in the previous entries BUT is not identified
