Ms. Hoyte and the school district wanted the assessment to better understand Isiah’s academic and emotional functioning and to assist in his educational planning.
Ms. Hoyte provided the following information during interviews with Branford A. Michael social worker at The Oniondale Union Free School District. Isiah is an 8 year old boy who lives with his mother. He sees his father regularly. Ms. Hoyte described Isiah as a funny, sweet, and helpful boy, who gets along with his parents. Ms. Hoyte reported she does not have concerns with his behavior at home. Isiah has poor self-esteem and he has some difficulty separating from his mother. She also indicated that he has a short attention span.
Isiah’s teachers indicated that Isiah displays a weakness in reading, writing, and mathematics. Although Isiah’s reading and spelling are weak he enjoys writing. Isiah’s academic progress has reportedly been affected by disruptive and oppositional behaviors, as well as lack of attention to task. Isiah’s behaviors are inconsistent; his moods are susceptible to change and are influenced by a combination of internal and external factors.
Going through all the provided information I have before me the target behaviors I would like to address.
Target Behaviors must be carefully and completely defined in observable and measurable terms. Well-written target behavior definitions are necessary in order to accurately and reliably measure behavior and to
What information do you think the assessment team might have asked Mr. Morse to collect about Marvin’s classroom performance?
Contrasted with the previous placement, the composition of students was generally the same ability level, however they were considerably less inclined to have conduct concerns. In this classroom, there were tw0 children who received SPED instruction for reading, and two more for Math, and two more who received accommodations for both, totaling 6 students. One student was medicated for ADHD and was able to manage his behavior with support from myself and my cooperating teacher. At that point in time, I did not have students who qualified for any programs such as PASS (Positive Approach to Student Success), so my teacher an I elected to utilize the ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) philosophy in order to address concerns about behavior or academic performance that could be linked to a traumatic or chronic life event(s). All of these processes come together to support Bailly’s commitment to developing responsible leaders and
Recommend instructional activities and /or interventions to address goals. All plans must be based on your analysis of the data.
Functional behavior assessments are very useful to teachers because they will help to identify reasons for inappropriate behaviors of a student. Not only will the assessment peal back the layers of a student's behavior but it can also reveal how to change the inappropriate behavior. Students with disabilities will have inappropriate behaviors in order to communicate with the teacher and adults involved in their day. These behaviors could appear for something as simple as the disabled students refuses to write down what they were asked to, because they are not able to spell or write a word. Students without disabilities may also behave in an inappropriate way because they may not be able to spell or write a word. The functional behavior assessment will guide a teacher to know what subject or even what part of a subject is challenging to a student.
At some point during the 2011 school while attending Mt. Zion Primary in Clayton County, Peter was first referred to his school’s tiered Response to Intervention (tier 2) program of student supports. At this time, there were no reported behavioral difficulties, although the student was said to display concerns with regard to reading fluency. Records indicate the student was formally referred to the Student Support Team (SST) process on 5/2/2013 when he attended 3rd grade in Henry County, although it mentioned in the documents that he was having significant behavioral difficulties as far back as at least 2nd grade. It appears the behavioral manifestations erupted about 10 months after the death of his father.
Brandon reflected on his family life which is chaotic, harsh discipline at times and lax discipline, insufficient parent monitoring, and parents who use A.T.O.D. Brandon listened as the QP shared he needs strong, loving parent-child bonds, functional well managed home, mild, consistent discipline, monitoring child's activities, and parents needs to set a good example using A.T.O.D. Brandon established he has poor social skills and often experience peer rejection as well as aggressive classroom behavior and low commitment to school. Brandon focused on developing his social skills and changing his view in school by participating in school activities, attending school daily, and have caring

Intervention: MHS reviewed the previous session. MHS discussed with client about her disrespectful behavior at school. The client’s teacher reported the client has not been doing her work and she has been being very disrespect to adults at school. MHS explained to the client that she will have to learn how to have respect adult at home and at school. MHS discussed listening and obeying and following the rules without any negative behaviors like talking back to teachers and school workers. MHS explained how people don't like to be around rude and disrespectful children and her behavior can be affecting her grades
An information letter was sent to families, making clear that the intervention would be delivered during regular class time at no cost to parents, and anonymity would be preserved. Informed consent was obtained. A week before the implementation of the program, the school’s Guidance Officer went to the each Year 6 and 7 class to administer the student’s pre-assessment package during school hours. Each question was read aloud to the group and their understanding of each item checked. Each child, then individually rated each question in their own assessment pack.
My area of interest is behavior analysis but for the purpose of this discussion I chose this case.
Planned Interventions / Frequency / Responsible Party: 1. MHS will assist Tyawna in identifying triggers that lead to disruptive behaviors daily. 2. MHS will assist Tyawna in processing distorted thoughts and replace with present healthy thoughts daily. 3. MHS will model, appropriate behaviors for
When a student who has a disability’s educational placement is changed due to challenging behavior, a functional behavior assessment must be conducted. Functional behavior assessment (FBA) is used to aid in the development of behavior intervention plans (BIP’s). In a functional assessment, the type and the source of reinforcement for problem behaviors are used as a basis for intervention efforts that are designed to increase occurrence. Functional analysis can also be used to determine the specific function of a behavior, but FBA’s are more commonly used, especially in school settings. In a functional analysis (FA), antecedents and consequences that represent those in the person’s natural environment are arranged so that their effects on the problem behavior can be observed and measured. The difference between a functional analysis and functional behavior assessment is that the assessment establishes a connection between the behavior and antecedent or the consequent variables, but a functional analysis identifies informal relationships. For this reason, a functional analysis is seen to be a more valid tool for identifying the function of a behavior; however, there are limitations to using a functional analysis. This method may momentarily strengthen the problem behavior or result in the behavior acquiring new functions. Federal mandates like IDEA 2004 and school reforms such as Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) have played a role in the increase of the

School-age children(7-11 Years) have poor school performance. The child finds studying and learning difficult when the child cannot stop worrying about what happened at home the night before or who is going to get hurt that night, or maybe even killed later on. The child will also have behavior problems with peers and adults. Because of the lack of observable
