Knowing principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) and how to apply ABA strategies is crucial because those competencies assist educators in working with students in general and especially those on the autism spectrum.
Step 1. Outline
Outline principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) and key methods used in applying ABA in the classroom.
Step 2. Envision
Envision the most user-friendly format for a teacher guide to facilitate understanding and applying ABA in a classroom setting. Write a short, inspiring, and motivational introduction for the guide.
Step 3. Develop
Using a user-friendly format of your choice, develop a guide for teachers to use when specifically working with students on the autism spectrum. Use the following questions to guide your development:
- How does or should your school district apply methods and principles affecting autistic student behavior?
- How do or should teachers address behaviors of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)?
Step 4. Compile
Compile your work from Steps 1-3 into a user-friendly, visually appealing teacher guide with an APA-formatted references page at the end.
