You are a teacher in a pre-school classroom for 4-year-olds. Lucy, who turned 4 in September, has been in your classroom for two months. She cries for the first 30 minutes of each day and refuses to engage in whole group activities, such as circle time or story time. Lucy says that she hates school and wants to be at home with her mom and baby sister. Last week she began hitting other children during outside play time and filling her backpack with toys and books from the classroom centers to take home. Her parents speak Mandarin Chinese and very little English. As Kostelnik, Soderman, and Whiren (2011) describe, the guidance strategies that early childhood professionals use when children are young, influence the attitudes and dispositions children carry with them into later life. Practitioners and family members who work together create a strong foundation for developmentally appropriate programs for young children. Using the family involvement strategies outlined in Chapter 8 and the Child Guidance strategies outlined in Chapter 6, describe a comprehensive plan to create a partnership with Lucy’s family and to support and guide Lucy through her current struggles. Include at least two strategies from at least three categories listed in Chapter 8 and at least two guidance strategies listed in Chapter 6. Describe the reasons for choosing these strategies for Lucy and her family.

S. (2009). Conducting   school-based functional     behavioral assessments: A practitioner's guide (2nd ed.). New York, NY: The Guilford  Press.As a practicing independent Behavior Analyst, you have received an e-mail from a staff member representing a provider of education and/or human services requesting your services. Specifically, this staff member has asked you to meet with other staff and/or administrators to develop a behavior intervention plan for an individual they are providing services to. This individual is demonstrating significant problem behaviors.Please detail responses to the following:1.Specify the referral problem. Be creative and describe the type of provider that has requested your services, the client, and the operational definition of the problem behavior(s).2.In a script or narrative format, provide information to the members of the “planning” meeting: Describe the specific purposes of a Functional Behavioral Assessment Describe three (3) Indirect Functional Assessment procedures that you may be implementing during the process of the Functional Behavioral Assessment. Be sure to specify how they will be used and what the purpose of each tool is. Describe three (3) Direct Descriptive Assessment procedures you may be implementing during the process of the Functional Behavioral Assessment. Be sure to specify how they will be used and what the purpose of each tool is.Tips for developing your responses:1.The staff that you are presenting to think that, as a Behavior Analyst, you will be able to develop a behavior plan on the spot during this meeting that is both easy to administer and effective at modifying the behavior of the client in question. The staff clearly know nothing about behavior assessment processes. It is your job to assist them in understanding the process of Functional Behavioral Assessment and its necessity before any interventions can be developed and implemented.2.Be mindful of making solid choices of the procedures you will be highlighting based on the scenario you describe at the outset of this Project.3.Indirect Assessment Tools / Procedures (Unit 6):The Functional Behavioral Assessment Screening FormThe Behavioral Stream InterviewThe Antecedent Variables Assessment FormThe Individual Variables Assessment FormThe Consequence Variables Assessment Form4.Directive Descriptive Tools / Procedures (Unit 7):Task Difficulty Antecedent Analysis FormThe Conditional Probability RecordThe Functional Behavioral Assessment FormInterval Recording ProceduresTask Analysis Recording ProcedureMake sure the information below is in the paper and make sure to answer the questions accordingly to the syllabus!Unit 7 AssignmentAreas shaded in gray connect to a CLA/GEL.Grading CriteriaPointsPossiblePointsEarnedContentSpecifies the referral problem.

The central components of your analysis should include issue identification, issue analysis, solutions, and potential limitations to your solutions. The case analyses serve to:a) Provide an opportunity to apply the class concepts in the solution of practical problems.b) Provide you with a common task through which you can learn to be more effective thinkers and problem-solves in your organizations.The written case analysis will be evaluated based on your effectiveness in identifying and analyzing issues in the case, the adequacy of and support for the recommendations made, and the identification of potential downsides to your solutions. In addition, written case analyses will be judged based on the clarity and technical quality of the writing and report presentation. The case analysis should approximately 500 words.
