Identify the strategies that were employed to prevent the recurrence of James’s
challenging behavior and to support the development of appropriate replacement behavior.

maintenance
?
INTERVENTION PLAN ANALYSIS FOR JAMES
:
1.
Strategies employed to promote Generalization and Maintenance:
a.
Differential Reinforcement Schedule:
➢
The use of a continuous reinforcement schedule for on-task and appropriate
behaviors, transitioning to an intermittent schedule, promotes the
generalization and maintenance of positive behaviors by gradually reducing
external reinforcement reliance.
b.
Gradual Increase in Task Difficulty and Breaks:
➢
Gradually increasing the complexity of tasks and breaks allows James to
gradually acquire tolerance and tolerance for academic activities, which aids
with generalization. This method makes it easier to transfer acquired habits to
a range of academic situations.
c. Decoding Agitation Level
:
➢
By decoding James's level of agitation and aiding when he becomes
frustrated, the staff addresses the underlying causes of challenging behavior.
This approach contributes to generalization by preemptively addressing
potential triggers.

2.
Strategies that were employed to prevent the recurrence of James’s challenging
behavior and to support the development of appropriate replacement behavior.
a.
Different Reinforcement of Alternative Behaviors:
➢
The use of praise, points, activity reinforcers, and tangible reinforcers under
DRA helps in preventing the recurrence of challenging behavior by
reinforcing appropriate replacement behaviors. This reinforces the idea that
engaging in appropriate actions leads to positive consequences.
b. Corrective Teaching Strategy
:
➢
Corrective Teaching provides a systematic approach to address challenging
behavior. By stating something positive, describing the problem behavior,
providing a rationale, practicing the desired behavior, and praising
cooperation, this strategy not only corrects the immediate behavior but also
teaches James more appropriate responses.
c. Precision Request Strategy
:
➢
The Precision Request strategy, involving a stepwise process of making
requests and reinforcing compliance, supports the development of appropriate
behavior. It provides clear expectations and consequences, aiding in
preventing recurrence.
d. Pairing with Peers
:
➢
Pairing James with peers who can help during difficult academic tasks
promotes appropriate behavior and prevents noncompliance. This social
support encourages positive engagement in academic activities.

Additional
strategies that might be employed to promote generalization and
maintenance:
a. Peer-Mediated Interventions
:
➢
Expand on the use of peer support by implementing peer-mediated
interventions. This involves training peers to provide positive reinforcement,
encouragement, and assistance during academic tasks, promoting
generalization of appropriate behaviors across various settings.
b. Self-Monitoring Tools
:
➢
Introduce self-monitoring tools that James can use independently. These tools
can include a checklist of appropriate behaviors, allowing him to assess and
reinforce his own actions, contributing to generalization and maintenance.
c. Regular Review Meetings
:
➢
Establish regular review sessions with James, Ms. Butke, the behavioral
consultant, and other key personnel. These meetings can be used to discuss
progress, evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, and make any required
changes to support generalization and maintenance.
d. Home School Collaboration
:
Collaborate with James's parents to ensure that behavioral expectations and reinforcement
mechanisms are consistent between home and school. This partnership improves
generalization and maintenance by reinforcing beneficial actions in a variety of settings
