What is "Positive Behavior Support" (PBS)?
- A.
An approach for developing and understanding why the child has challenging behavior and changing a child's behavior through teaching the child new skills and replacement behaviors.
- B.
A narrow approach that considers a child's social skills in isolation when looking at rationalizing challenging behavior
- C.
A method of recognizing challenging behavior and developing a "quick fix" through intervention that is reactionary rather than preventative.
Correct Answer
A. An approach for developing and understanding why the child has challenging behavior and changing a child's behavior through teaching the child new skills and replacement behaviors.Explanation
Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is an approach that focuses on developing and understanding the reasons behind a child's challenging behavior. It involves teaching the child new skills and replacement behaviors to address and modify their behavior. This approach aims to promote positive behavior by providing support and guidance to the child, rather than simply reacting to their challenging behavior.Rate this question:

Challenging behavior can communicate a message when the child does not have the language skills. What are possible functions (or messages) of challenging behavior?
- A.
To request an object, activity, or person
- B.
To escape demands, an activity, or a person
- C.
To obtain and object or someone
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
Challenging behavior can serve different functions or messages for a child who lacks language skills. They may engage in challenging behavior to request something they want, such as an object, activity, or person. They may also use challenging behavior as a means to escape from demands, an activity, or a person. Additionally, challenging behavior can be a way for the child to obtain an object or gain attention from someone. Therefore, all of the above options can be possible functions or messages of challenging behavior in such cases.Rate this question:

Refer to video 3a 2 in Module 3a. What is Brendan's challenging behavior being exhibited?
- A.
Laying on the ground, kicking the adult, and running away from the adult
- B.
Biting the adult and screaming
- C.
Crying and banging his head on the windows
Correct Answer
A. Laying on the ground, kicking the adult, and running away from the adultExplanation
In the video, Brendan is exhibiting challenging behavior by laying on the ground, kicking the adult, and running away from the adult.

What component(s) should be included in the basic behavioral equation when analyzing challenging behaviors?
- A.
Setting event
- B.
Trigger
- C.
Behavior
- D.
Maintaining consequence
- E.
All of the above
Correct Answer
E. All of the aboveExplanation
The basic behavioral equation when analyzing challenging behaviors should include all of the components listed: setting event, trigger, behavior, and maintaining consequence. Each of these components plays a role in understanding and addressing challenging behaviors. The setting event refers to the environmental factors that may influence behavior, the trigger is the specific event or situation that immediately precedes the behavior, the behavior itself is the action or response being exhibited, and the maintaining consequence is the outcome or reinforcement that maintains the behavior. Considering all of these components allows for a comprehensive analysis of challenging behaviors.Rate this question:

All of the following are methods of collecting data for a functional assessment EXCEPT for . . .
- A.
Documenting when the child utilized new skills learned as shown by display of a replacement behavior for the challenging behavior previously exhibited
- B.
Interview with the persons who know the child best
- C.
Review of records
- D.
Observations of the child in situations where the challenging behavior occurs and observing what circumstances are associated with appropriate behavior
Correct Answer
A. Documenting when the child utilized new skills learned as shown by display of a replacement behavior for the challenging behavior previously exhibitedExplanation
The given answer is incorrect because documenting when the child utilizes new skills learned as shown by display of a replacement behavior for the challenging behavior previously exhibited is actually a method of collecting data for a functional assessment. This method involves recording instances when the child successfully replaces the challenging behavior with a new skill, which helps in identifying the function of the challenging behavior and developing appropriate interventions.Rate this question:

Refer to the “Sample Setting Event Chart” on slide 62 of Module 3a. After analyzing the chart, what can be determined?
- A.
Child is more likely to tantrum when his mother brings him to school
- B.
Child is most likely to tantrum during small group, when compared to snack and circle time
- C.
Child is more likely to tantrum if he has come to school on the bus
Correct Answer
C. Child is more likely to tantrum if he has come to school on the busExplanation
Based on the analysis of the "Sample Setting Event Chart" on slide 62 of Module 3a, it can be determined that the child is more likely to tantrum if he has come to school on the bus. This conclusion is drawn from the data presented in the chart, which shows a higher frequency of tantrums during the bus arrival period compared to other events such as snack and circle time. The chart suggests a correlation between the child's mode of transportation to school and the likelihood of tantrums occurring.Rate this question:

All of the following information can be gathered through a functional assessment interview EXCEPT for . . .
- A.
Identification of the functions and maintaining consequences of the behavior
- B.
Definition and description of the behavior
- C.
Development of a replacement behavior
- D.
Description of frequency and intensity of the behavior
- E.
Exploration of possible setting events
Correct Answer
C. Development of a replacement behaviorExplanation
A functional assessment interview is a method used to gather information about a person's behavior and the factors that influence it. It involves identifying the functions and maintaining consequences of the behavior, defining and describing the behavior, exploring possible setting events, and describing the frequency and intensity of the behavior. However, the development of a replacement behavior is not typically addressed in a functional assessment interview. This is because the focus of the interview is on understanding the function and context of the behavior, rather than on creating a replacement behavior.Rate this question:

What things should be considered if you are having trouble developing a hypothesis for a behavior?
- A.
A challenging behavior may not always have a function
- B.
A challenging behavior may be displayed in the same form, but have multiple functions
- C.
A challenging behavior may begin by serving one function, such as escaping an activity, and then continue to serve a second function, such as obtaining attention
- D.
Answers a and b
- E.
Answers a and c
- F.
Answers b and c
Correct Answer
F. Answers b and cExplanation
If you are having trouble developing a hypothesis for a behavior, you should consider that a challenging behavior may be displayed in the same form but have multiple functions. This means that the behavior may serve different purposes or have different underlying causes in different situations or contexts. Additionally, you should also consider that a challenging behavior may begin by serving one function, such as escaping an activity, but then continue to serve a second function, such as obtaining attention. These considerations can help in understanding and addressing the challenging behavior effectively.Rate this question:

This behavior is a result of her desire to possess the purse and not wanting to share it with others.Rate this question:
