Define the behavior and the function of the behavior.

YOU MUST ENTER TO THE LINK ANS COMPLE THEM AS WELL AS THE TREATMENT TEMPLATE
In PSYC4004, you conducted a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) for Monica. In this course, you will continue this work by creating a treatment plan to address the target behavior you identified in PSYC4004. For this assignment, you will develop antecedent procedures to prevent the behavior from happening and identify replacement behaviors and describe how those behaviors would be taught and reinforced..
Preparation

Complete the following to prepare for this assignment:
Review the information in the Functional Behavior Assessment media pieces. All of the work you completed for PSYC4004 will still be available to you:
Functional Behavior Assessment: Introduction and Monica’s Case.
Functional Behavior Assessment: Baseline Data.
Functional Behavior Assessment: ABC Descriptive Analysis.
Functional Behavior Assessment: Condition Videos.
Functional Behavior Assessment: Experimental Analysis.
Research antecedent and replacement procedures that would be effective in Monica’s case. Refer to the BS in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Research GuideLinks to an external site. for help finding resources.
Review the Capella Compassion Code [PDF].
Download the notes you took in the media pieces.
The notes that you write in the Functional Behavior Assessment media pieces will help you complete the Treatment Plan Template [DOCX], which you will complete and submit for this assignment.

Instructions
Complete the following in your Treatment Plan Template:
Client/Date.
Setting.
BCaBA/BCBA.
You may put your name here as the hypothetical BCaBA or BCBA.
Behavior.
This should be property distruction.
Definition of Behavior.
Include a clear, objective, and complete operational definition of Monica’s property destruction. Remember to include examples and nonexamples, as well as onset/offset criteria for clarity in data collection.
Function(s) of Behavior.
Look back to your completed FBA for this information.
Antecedent Procedures.

Develop relevant antecedent interventions to address target behavior, supported by the Capella Compassion Code, and recent, relevant academic literature.
In addition, provide a detailed description of the anticipated results of the selected interventions.

Replacement Procedures.

Develop a plan to teach appropriate replacement behaviors to replace the function of the targeted behavior. supported by the Capella Compassion Code, and recent, relevant academic literature.
In addition, provide a detailed analysis of why this plan will be the most effective for the client.

References.
Cite the relevant examples and supporting evidence you used to guide your work. You will add to this section in each assignment.
Once these sections of the template have been completed, upload the completed template document to the assignment area.
