Replacement Behavior and Intervention Plan

Replacement Behavior and Intervention Plan for Chad

For this assignment, use the case study "Chad" on pages 133–134 of *Functional
Assessment*.

The function of Chad's challenging behavior has been hypothesized to be
positive reinforcement. In the limited information provided in the text, he
appears to obtain teacher attention following the challenging behavior.

To complete the assignment:

 1. Identify an appropriate replacement behavior for Chad that is
 incompatible with or an alternative to his challenging behavior.
 2. Develop an intervention plan that matches the function of Chad's
 behavior by:
 - Altering the antecedents and consequences for challenging behavior.
 - Altering the antecedents and consequences for appropriate behavior.
 3. Explain how your intervention plan matches the function of Chad's
 challenging behavior, using the unit readings or other scholarly resource
 to support your rationale.

Based on the information provided in the text regarding Chad's behavior, if
Chad lived during the time when autism was thought to be a neurotic
condition, what type of intervention or treatment might he have received?
Explain what you would expect to be the outcome of that intervention or
treatment.
