Lesson AFF 7
Task: Does not display disruptive behavior.
Prerequisite: None
Concept: A person can have deficits in the performance of a task, meaning that he or she knows what is the correct thing to do but does not do it, or he or she may have problems with the skill itself, meaning that he or she does not understand the appropriate behavior. In either case, a behaviorally designed program can have a positive impact. This sample lesson is extremely generic because there are numerous potential behavioral problems as well as numerous approaches to solving these problems. It is very important to determine where and when these behaviors occur. If the majority of the problems occur in one particular setting, the setting or people related to it may be the antecedent (situation occurring prior to disruption), and changes in these variables, not in the student, are needed. Never underestimate the power of simple social interaction. Some disruptions arc simply an attempt to receive some form of interaction. Reactions to negative behaviors must be immediate, objective, and consistent.
Behavioral Objective: The student will demonstrate no more than two occurrences behavior in a l-month period.
Materials: Objects or activities known to provide pleasure to the student.
