She requires placement in a small, highly structured classroom that utilizes ABA methods to teach new skills. Comprehensive intervention services including speech, occupational therapy, and adaptive “life skills” training, should be integrated into her program.
More generally, it is recommended that behavioral intervention strategies, such as those employed in Applied Behavioral Analyses (ABA), be an integral part of XX’s overall treatment plan both at home and at home (see: https://www.kennedykrieger.org/patient-care/patient-care-programs/inpatient-programs/neurobehavioral-unit-nbu/applied-behavior-analysis for a description and additional information). XX would benefit from consistent participation in ABA therapy at home in order to address any challenging behaviors that arise and generalize her skills to her home setting. In addition, ABA services can implement a behavior intervention plan in order to increase XX’s participation and independence in her …show more content…
In order to address this behavior, XX would benefit from receiving a thorough Functional Behavioral Analysis (FBA) to fully identify the function and maintenance of her unwanted behaviors. The evaluation should take place over the course of multiple days, settings, and interaction environments. The purpose of the evaluation is to better understand the antecedents and consequences of XX’s unwanted behaviors. After identification, her IEP and intervention plans can be updated accordingly with a new, targeted behavior
