Answers
ABA Therapist - ANS-Refers to the behavior tech that works under the BCBA and
implements behavior plans.
ABC's of Behavior (AKA: 3 term contingency) - ANS-Antecedent, Behavior,
Consequence
Acquisition Task - ANS-A target that's in the process of being taught. This behavior is
not yet a known skill.
Adaptive Skills - ANS-Self-help skills the child uses for daily living.
Antecedent - ANS-What happens directly before the behavior or trigger.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) - ANS-Design, implementation, and evaluation of an
environment to produce improvements in behavior.
Applied Behavioral Intervention (ABI) - ANS-Evidence-based practice that is derived
from ABA and are used to address both interfering and on-task behaviors.
Assessment of Basic Language & Learning Skills (ABLLS) - ANS-An assessment tool
created by Sundberg & Partington that allows you to assess across 25 varied domains
(gross motor skills, receptive skills, etc) to get a complete picture of a child's functioning
level, strengths, and deficits.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - ANS-AKA: Pervasive Developmental Disorders
(PDD).
A group of neurobiological disorders that affect a child's ability to interact, communicate,
relate, play, imagine, and learn. These disorders not only affect brain
development/function, but may also be related to immunological, gastrointestinal, and
metabolic problems.
BACB - ANS-The Behavior Analyst Certification Board. Nonprofit established in 1998 to
meet professional credentialing.
Behavior - ANS-Observable & measurable responses to cues in the environment. The
future frequency of these responses are influenced by the consequences that follow
them.
, Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) - ANS-A plan to manage a child's problematic
behavior. Includes fostering positive behavior, environmental changes, reinforcements,
and other necessary supports.
Childhood Autism Rating Scale, 2nd Edition (CARS-2) - ANS-Behavior rating scale that
helps to identify children with autism and determine symptom severity through
quantifiable ratings based on direct observation. For ages 2+
Chaining - ANS-Used to teach multi-step skills in which the steps involved are defined
and numbered. The steps are defined through task analysis. (EX: Washing hands- 1st
turn on water, 2nd pump soap into hands, 3rd rub hands together, etc)
Total Task Analysis - ANS-The breaking down of a complex skill into smaller, teachable
units.
Forward Chaining - ANS-Teaching each step in order and only progressing when the
individual step is mastered (step 1, step 1 and 2, step 1 and 2 and 3, etc.)
Backward Chaining - ANS-When teaching a chain behavior, the last step is taught first
and the learner learns the steps in reverse. (Ex: drawing a smiley face)
Co-morbidity - ANS-Having multiple diagnoses at the same time. (EX: child having
Autism, OCD, and ADHD)
Compulsions - ANS-Deliberate repetitive behaviors that follow specific rules, such as
pertaining to cleaning, checking, or counting.
Consequence - ANS-What happens directly after a behavior. Can be good or bad.
Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO) - ANS-Ignore problem behavior
while reinforcing ANY appropriate replacement behavior within a defined period of
TIME.
EX: Kid talks out in class. He is told to "not talk out." For every 10 min. in an hour he
can do this, he will receive 2 minutes of extra free time (reinforcer). No reinforcer is
given if he talks out at any time during the set interval and the problem behavior is
ignored.
Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates of Responding (DRL) - ANS-Reinforce the
individual only after the target behavior occurs at a predetermined low rate.
EX: Kid asks too many questions which disrupts the class. Question limit is set at 5. If
kid can limit her questions to 5, she can help set up the next activity (reinforcement). If
