Treatment for Behavioral Disorders

Based on your provided case study, you will create a treatment plan for your client to address their stated behavioral excesses and deficits. The paper should be double-spaced and 20 to 25 pages in length, consisting of the following five sections (please use the provided headers):

(1) Client Demographics, Background, and Target Behaviors

There is not a lot of detail provided in the case vignette with regard to client demographics and background, so you should embellish what is there, ensuring that it is consistent with the rest of the case study. This section should end with a description of the behaviors targeted for treatment.

(2) Functional Behavioral Assessment

In this section, you should describe the specific assessment methods and processes used to pinpoint the hypothesized functions of the client’s behavioral excesses, as well as describe the results of these assessments, including AT LEAST TWO experimental functional analyses with the data presented in the form of line graphs.

(3) Treatment Plan for Behavioral Excesses

Describe in detail the treatment plan for each behavioral excess, including:
a) the single-case research design that will be utilized.
b) how each of these behaviors will be measured, as well as how often.
c) the specific operant treatment to be used.
d) how the hypothesized function will be addressed by the treatment.
e) the criterion used to determine whether behavioral goals have been met.
f) hypothetical line graphs for each behavioral excess, demonstrating baseline levels of behavior and changes in behavior as treatment is implemented. These should also illustrate the single-case research design used for each treatment, and the graphs should be formatted accordingly.

(4) Stimulus Preference Assessment

In this section, you should describe the specific assessment methods and processes used to pinpoint preferred stimuli for your client, for use in the treatment of their behavioral deficits, as well as hypothetical data from these assessments.

(5) Treatment Plan for Behavioral Deficits

Describe in detail the treatment plan for each behavioral deficit, including:
a) the single-case research design that will be utilized.
b) how each of these behaviors will be measured, as well as how often.
c) the specific operant treatment to be used.
d) how the preferred stimuli will be administered within the treatment.
e) the criterion used to determine whether behavioral goals have been met.
f) hypothetical line graphs for each behavioral deficit, demonstrating baseline levels of behavior and changes in behavior as treatment is implemented. These should also illustrate the single-case research design used for each treatment, and the graphs should be formatted accordingly.
