[SOLVED] PRIORITIZING BEHAVIOR

Overview
The first step in completing your FBA is to identify and prioritize the target
behaviors to address. In doing so, you should incorporate values of compassion
and cultural humility when conducting an FBA. You can refer to the Capella
Compassion Code [DOCX] for more information.
Complete the following in a Word document:
Part 1: Selecting the Target Behaviors
Select three target behaviors to address. You can select the concerning
behaviors of someone you know, such as a learner, family member, or friend.
Remember, this assignment is just for practice; therefore, dual relationship
should not be violated and consent is needed. You can also select a character
from a television show or a movie. All assignments in this course will be based
on the individual and the target behaviors you choose in this first assignment.
The final assignment in Week 9 will be a functional behavior assessment (FBA)
addressing the selected target behaviors for your chosen person or character.
Part 2: Rationale for Selecting Behaviors for Intervention
Use the Worksheet for Prioritizing Potential Behaviors [DOCX] to prioritize the
selected behaviors you have chosen to address. Use the key as identified on
page 8, Table 1-1 of your Functional Assessment text to carefully rank the target
behaviors by the extent to which it meets or fulfills each prioritization criterion.
You may add NA (not applicable) and UNK (unknown) to the key. You can copy
the table of the worksheet to your assignment, adhering to APA formatting. After
completing the table, explain the rankings you have chosen for your behaviors.
Be sure to include how you have considered social validity and cultural variables
when prioritizing the behaviors.
Part 3: Writing Operational Definitions
For each of the three concerning behaviors, write an operational definition that is
objective, clear, and complete.

Related: Rationale

 Objective refers to unambiguous description of the behavior; void of
mentalistic words. An operational definition that meets the objective criteria
is one that is observable and measurable.
 Clear refers to what a person says or does; the topography is clearly
defined in such a manner that two observers will have a high agreement
when the behavior is observed.
 Complete refers to the boundaries of what is included and excluded. To
discriminate the boundaries of the operational definition, include examples
and non-examples with minimal differences.

Additional Requirements
Your assignment should meet the following requirements:
 Written communication: Should be free of errors that detract from the
overall message.
 APA formatting: References and citations are formatted according to
current APA style guidelines. Review Evidence and APA for more
information on how to cite your sources.
 Resources: A sufficient number of scholarly or professional resources.
Resources should include the course texts, and a combination of seminal
works.
 Length: 2–3 double-spaced pages.
 Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12-point.
