Psychology Question

Instructions

For this assignment, you will use the treatment plan outline from the CASP 2020 document (pages 2324) to begin developing your treatment plan for the behaviors listed in your DSM-5 intervention matrix. This is Part 1 of your ABA Treatment Plan for ASD assignment. You will submit Part 2 in Week 9.

In preparation:

• Review the following document, especially familiarizing yourself with the necessary elements of the treatment plan .
• Download and save the . Please add directly to this template for this week’s and Week 9 assignment.

For this assignment, complete Parts 1 through 6. of the treatment plan, which include the following:

1. Patient Information.
2. Reason for Referral.
3. Brief Background Information.
4. Clinical Interview.
5. Review of Recent Assessments/Reports (File Review).
6. Assessment Procedures and Results.

Remember that your information here will likely be hypothetical, though you can use elements of a real-life case as long as all identifying information is removed (this is extremely important and must not be forgotten; no exceptions). See the CASP document for more information on what to include in these sections.

While the template is in an outline form, make sure you are writing complete sentences and paragraphs to address each section. Lists, incomplete sentences, and partial paragraphs are not sufficient for this assignment.

Alignment of Assessment and Behaviors: Remember that for purposes of this course and this assignment, you will be aligning your background and assessment information with the operationally defined behaviors from your DSM-5 Potential Intervention Matrix assignment in Week 5. The behaviors you included there will be the basis for the treatment plan and will be expanded on and discussed in the background and assessment portions, as appropriate. In a real-life situation, you would conduct assessments and then align the plan to this information. Because we have to target hypothetical behaviors specifically related to ASD, we will target those behaviors and then make sure everything (including the assessment) is aligned from there.

Additional Supports for ASD: As you prepare your assessment results, remember to consider what interviews, observations, or other assessments might reveal for a child with autism, based on what you know about ASD. For example, research and/or review some of the common additional supports that may be helpful for individuals with ASD (keeping in mind that though common, supports should still be highly individualized, as they would in any ABA program or intervention). Examples include visual supports, structured teaching environment, clear boundaries, items or areas to increase or decrease sensory input (including the ability to appropriately engage in self-stimulatory behavior), highly motivating items/activities, adaptations to assist with communication and social interactions, and adaptations to reduce anxiety (choices, priming, breaks, et cetera).

Overall, your assignment submission will be assessed based on the following criteria:

• Present relevant and reasonable patient, referral, and background information for an individual about whom the treatment plan is being developed. (Template Sections 1, 2, and 3.)
• Describe the results of a clinical interview, providing performance levels, operational definitions of related behaviors, and relevant possible functions of behaviors for all seven criteria. (Template Section 4.)
• Develop relevant recent functional behavior assessment results, cognitive testing results, or progress reports, along with a summary of important findings. (Template Section 5.)
• Develop compassionate and inclusive assessment procedures, including the purpose of all assessments and a summary of findings. (Template Section 6.)
• Convey purpose in a well-organized text, incorporating appropriate evidence and tone in grammatically sound sentences.
• Apply APA style and formatting to scholarly writing.
