In Ethical Considerations Functional Analyses Of Dangerous Behavior (On Demand), for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →Behavior analytic practitioners report an almost exclusive reliance on indirect and descriptive methods for assessing challenging behavior and cite safety as one reason why they do not conduct functional analyses (Ellingson et al., 1999; Oliver et al., 2015; Roscoe et al., 2015). Since the publication of the traditional functional analysis (Iwata et al., 1982/1994), several methodological changes have been recommended in the interest of safety (see Hanley, 2012 and Iwata & Dozier, 2008). This presentation will focus on practical functional assessments (PFAs), first described by Hanley et al. (2014). PFAs provide practitioners with a safe and ethical option when tasked with assessing dangerous behavior. Synthesis of establishing operations and reinforcers (Hanley et al., 2014); open contingency classes that include non-dangerous, co-occurring topographies of behavior (Warner et al., 2019); and slow progression of establishing operations (Ward et al., 2021; Whelan et al., 2021) are critical components that will be discussed. An attendee should be able to advocate for the use of safe functional analysis of dangerous behavior to caregivers and other stakeholders. Thank you Dr, Whelan for each of the details and taking the time to go over all the information on your slides. I appreciated the short story experiences you shared! Blessings... This class would be useful for ABA trained therapists. lots of jargon.as a DIR trained OT I feel like I do a lot of these practices already. This is a great training and Dr. Whelan is so personable and knowledgeable. I really appreciated him walking through how to overcome resistance with other stakeholders when we feel strongly in performing FA. The open discussion was also very helpful and well as the supplementary materials. Great presentation.
