Unit 4 project design implementation and evaluation

Your Learning Activity will review the application of applied behavior analysis (ABA) in organizations. It will help refresh your memory about appropriate application of Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) in preparation for your Unit 4 Assignment.

After completing the unit readings, complete this Learning Activity. You will begin to connect what you know about applying behavior principles to individuals and apply the same concepts to behaviors within organizations. Completing this Learning Activity will help test your knowledge on this important unit material.

Once you have successfully completed the Learning Activity, move on to complete the Unit 4 Assignment PowerPoint Presentation.

Unit 4 PowerPoint® Presentation

In this assignment, you will play the role of a behavior-consulting intern. You are working as a behavior consulting intern for Acme, Inc. Your company is taking on a new client, Shoreside Community-Based Residential Facility. You will prepare a presentation consisting of a narrated Power Point addressing the following scenario.

Scenario: Shoreside Community-Based Residential Facility

Shoreside would like your company to provide consultation in their unit for adults with traumatic brain injury. Shoreside management and staff have expressed a concern over increasing rates of disruptive behavior during community outings and have had little success with their current interventions. They believe they may need assistance with staff training and behavior management techniques.

The company uses some Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with their clients but has never used ABA at an organizational level. The Director recently learned about Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) and wants to know more about how basic concepts of ABA could be used at Shoreside. The Director of Shoreside believes this would be an effective way to address the problems within the organization.

You have been tasked with conducting a preliminary assessment using the first few steps of the problem-solving model: Pinpointing and Measurement, as well as providing an overview of what the process will look like at Shoreside. Your manager has asked you to make a presentation to management and staff to provide more information about OBM and how fundamental principles of behavior can be used in the organization. Additionally, Shoreside is skeptical that the same principles they use with their clients could be applied to staff within the organization.
