Your Answer:
The behavior is likely to occur the admissions on the first two months. With Maya being one of the victims. It mainly happens to result from either genetic or neurological causes. The behavior is characterized by slow growth and development, caused by differences in neurodevelopment functioning resulting in the disorder.
The behavior is less likely to happen to Maya, and with no family history of autism. This means that it is less likely to happen to Maya who have normal brain growth and development since birth.
Maya’s behavior involves getting violent when she needs attention such as a toy, food, or play, among other issues. Maya gets disappointed, hence getting angry and shouting all over as she throws things away. She also avoids seeking attention.
Identify the challenging behavior, ensure the triggers are acknowledged, and Maya attains desired perseverated behavior. Apart from Maya’s inability to communicate and show attention, she screams and shouts desiring to gain her desires, hence the need to attain desired behavior of always remaining calm.
Maya is expected to develop desired behavior through perseveration as well as proper care. For example, Maya screams when she needs attention, with the need for the caregiver to understand the specific developments necessary to boost her mental flexibility, attention, and memory.
The fact that she is autistic makes her lifestyle challenging. The influencing behavior includes ensuring that his needs are met during the specific time to avoid frustrations and anger. This is the caregivers’ role in ensuring that the behavior is positively influenced.
Setting environments that trigger the behavior includes when Maya is alone for long durations or when their needs and desires are not met promptly given their medical challenges with self-care and proper neurodevelopment; hence the need for proper care and attention.
Teacher’s comment is:
Let’s begin first with the understanding that Maya is not autistic…Maya has autism…. please use people first language when discussing individuals with disabilities. I don’t think you ever indicated Maya’s age- is she an adult or a child? In previous assignments, you indicated that she is a marine biology enthusiast, and mentioned striving for professional accolades related to her projects and research. This is a very different picture that what is being described here in this assignment. Answers to questions 1 and 2 make no sense to me. Does Maya have autism or not? What is Maya a victim of? 1) Does the behavior occur most often in the morning, afternoon, evening? At home, work, school, in community? What activity is being engaged in? What staff or other consumers are present? 2) Does behavior occur less often in some places, with certain people, etc… 3) toys, food, or playing are tangible items, not attention. So does Maya engage in the behavior for attention, or because she needs/wants an item? You indicated in 5.4 that it was for tangible items. What do you mean she avoids seeking attention? What is the behavior- getting angry is not behavior- that is emotion- shouting and throwing things is a behavior that we can see and hear? 4) A replacement behavior is something Maya can learn to do instead of yelling and throwing items- this new replacement behavior will allow her to get needs met without engaging in the challenging behavior. 5) The reinforcing consequence is that Maya will have the unmet need met- she will get whatever the item is that she wants- 6) again, Maya HAS Autism…she is not autistic. 7) Setting EVENTS, not environments- what could be happening that will cause Maya to want to engage in the behavior
