Bailey & Burch 25 Essential Skills and Strategies for the Professional Behavior Analyst. Ch. 2. You are in an interdisciplinary team meeting. The team is discussing one of your clients, who is a 48 year old gentleman with profound intellectual disability who engages in severe self-injury. You have had a difficult time getting the staff in the organization to implement the man’s treatment program with reasonable integrity, and this is limiting the man’s progress. In this ID Team meeting, the Occupational Therapist reports that she just came back from a weekend seminar on Myofascial Release, and describes the procedure to the ID Team. The OT reports that since the gentleman’s emotional memories live in his joints, using Myofascial Release could release those emotional memories from his joints, and could result in reduction or elimination of his self-injury. You are dumbfounded. (To make matters even worse – the guy doesn’t even like to be touched – and the whole team is aware of this - and this procedure involves joint compressions.) Describe how you would control your affect. Describe how you would behave assertively on behalf of your client Describe the assertive behaviors you would describe in the meeting. When an influential team member states that “Your program isn’t doing anything for him – we might as well try this,” describe how you might behave assertively on your own behalf.
