Assignment 4: Midterm Project-
Challenging Behavior Case Study
You will learn how to define behavior (part 1) and then apply that knowledge to analyze a case study of a student with challenging behavior (part 2). You will submit the completed Case Study Defining Behavior as one document to Canvas in Module 6. You will use the IRIS website, PBIS website, and the Touro library as resources for identifying research from the field of EDUCATION to support your ideas in completing this project.
TOURO LIBRARY: Peer-reviewed EDUCATION research journals are to be used to support your ideas. For this assignment, citing your textbook may be used as an additional resource but it will NOT satisfy the requirement for references stated in the grading rubric.

Part 1: Defining Behavior (2%) for Raul
In order to successfully complete part 1, you must read all of the Star Sheets listed below. They provide definitions and examples of the best practice when defining the target and desired behaviors.
THESE STAR SHEETS & LEVEL A CASE 2 ARE FOUND IN THE MIDTERM PART 1 IRIS CENTER PDF
Read Star Sheets: p. iii, p. 7, 9 , 11 , 13 , & 15
Complete Case Study: Level A*Case 2 for Raul: Respond to the prompts at the end of his case study on one typed page.
Part 2: Case Study
Choose a student, Juanita or Fred, to focus on for this assignment. Details of each case are found on Canvas. Once you have chosen a focus student, you will write a 6 to 8-page paper in APA format addressing each of the topics described below. The page count does not include the title page or the reference page. You will support your ideas with academic research from the field of EDUCATION about various aspects of the behavior, intervention, outcome, appropriateness, and the maintenance of using the intervention.
Behavioral Challenges: Describe the student’s behavior challenges. Define the behaviors using the criteria for defining behavior from the IRIS module that you completed.
Behavioral Interventions: Describe the behavioral interventions that the student received. Discuss the research that supports these SPECIFIC interventions using at least two academic resources from the field of EDUCATION.
Behavioral Outcomes: Describe the student’s behavioral outcomes after he/she/they received the behavioral intervention. How will you maintain the student’s appropriate behavior(s)? Remember that you are discussing the specific behavior interventions identified on page 4 for Fred and page 3 for Juanita. This is NOT a general discussion of any behavioral intervention but is specific to the behavior interventions identified in the case study.
Provide at least one academic reference from the field of EDUCATION about maintaining this behavior when using the specific interventions identified in the student’s case study.
Conclusion: In what circumstances might you foresee using this intervention ? What are some downsides of these interventions ? Are there cultural, ethnic, and/or gender considerations to using this intervention ? Does this intervention appeal to you? Why or why not? Provide at least one academic reference for research on the downsides of these specific behavior interventions.
