Chapter 4: Client Repertoire and Behavioral Cusps Client repertoire are skills that a client has mastered but ideally, we develop new skills that need to be targeted for improvement. After reading this chapter it shows the importance of knowing your clients' beginning level of skills. You cannot develop a thorough intervention plan without knowing your clients' capabilities because each client has their own set of skills, and it is different with everyone. This chapter also discusses behavioral cusps which are behavior changes that have far-reaching effects because they significantly alter the target client’s access to new environments. This is used to develop a better intervention plan. As an EC Pre-k teacher, we have developed a routine in the classroom for the children to adapt and become accustomed to it as the school year progresses. This year we incorporated a sunshine board into our classroom. The sunshine board is used within our Bright Beginnings Pre-K classrooms and is shown to have positive results. For example, we award the students with sunshine's when they show good behavior, completing a task that is working towards their individual goals, etc. Some of these tasks can be remaining seated during circle time, putting their chairs back after circle time, transitioning smoothly to next task, throwing away their trash after breakfast and lunch, and waiting their turn when playing with friends just to name a few. When bad behavior is displayed, we do not take the sunshine’s away, we simply just redirect the behavior. For example, we provided a safe space for our children to go to when they are having a meltdown, we direct them to our calm down corner where there are bean bags for them to sit on, sensory toys, books and pillows until they are ready to be with the rest of the group again. We see that it encourages them to be more engaging in small groups, helping and sharing with others, and good behavior. With each individual sunshine earned we allow them to choose between a variety of sensory toys such as, trampoline, sit and spin or the basketball goal. Once

they receive all 5 sunshine's we have sensory Friday with the water and sand table that they get to play with the other classmates. This helps them develop new skills which leads to improvement in outside therapy or just home life for everyone. Also, this helps increase their access to new environments and helps independence.

Chapter 3 : Client Health This chapter discusses why it is important to get a very thorough medical history, mental health, and biological varaiables that can possibly have effects on the treatment plan. Most people with ASD have underlying conditions that they are dealing with that sometimes goes unnoticed or the practitioner might not be aware of because its not being communicated. When we fail to gather this information about our client it can leave the treatment plan unsatisfactory. As stated before I’m a EC Pre-K teacher and I work with these children on a daily basis. Some of my students after careful observation most parents are not aware that they child may

suffer from sleep deprivation, anxiety, depression and abuse. For example, I've had many students go through sleep regression at home so it makes the school day harder for them to learn. In the text sleep deprivation is labeled as a biological variable. Certain task that the individual do on a normal basis becomes harder for them to do because they are sleep deprived and you never know how long it will last or whatever triggered it. In this case my student has a older sibling that was also diagnosed with ASD that was going through a sleep deprivation which effected him because he refused to do any activity that we encouraged him to do. He didn’t want to go out for recess and he refused to eat which wasn’t like his normal behavior. That went on for a couple of months before it was suggested by his ABA therapist to seek help from a sleep specialist for further evaluation because it effected his home life and translated in school and therapy. That’s why it is very important to get as information about your clients health so they adequately get the best treatment plan possible. Wilczynski, S. M. (2017).
