behavior during independentwork


6/12

CR gets out of seatwhen independentwork has started

When attention is notgiven to CR rightaway heimmediately get out

of his seat to gainthat attention


7/12

CR was selected for the behavior change

project because his teacher expressed

concern that he wasnt staying in his seat

which may be impeding his ability to learn.

This program will help to increase CRs

compliance with sitting in his seat, which

should help CR successfully complete hisassignments.

The function of the behavior is attention

seeking and avoidance/escape


8/12

Description of Intervention Procedures:

Tally Chart: CR will be taught to use a tally chart to self-regulatehis own behavior.

Reinforcement Procedures: In order to increase the amount oftime CR stays in his seat, the following procedure has been putinto place. When CR shows a listening body (sits in seat correctly,listening, and hands to self) he will earn a positive tally. Every 10positive tallies are worth one pom pom for his behavior reward

jar (class party when full). This procedure was chosen because itwas hypothesized that attention seeking and escape were thefunctions of his behavior. This will allow CR to gain positiveattention from his peers from earning the class a party.

Punishment Procedures: If CR is not in his seat he will earn anegative tally on his tally sheet. For every 10 negative tallies hewill drop a level.
