For this assignment, you are a Board Certified Behavior Analyst who has been consulting with six school districts in your state. You have provided guidance to school psychologists and have conducted Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) and made recommendations to Individualized Education Program (IEP) teams regarding academic and behavior goals.<\/p>\n
Recently, your state school board contacted you to thank you for the work you have been doing in the schools and to ask a favor. The members of the state school board recently read a peer reviewed research article about the efficacy of training school teachers to conduct FBAs. The paper was convincing, and the Board would like you to conduct training not only in how to conduct a FBA but also how to implement some basic behavior acquisition and reduction programs based on applied behavior analysis (ABA) principles. You agreed to conduct a two-day workshop and begin preparations for the intensive training.<\/p>\n
