The program that you originally designed was a token economy system in which she would earn one token for each completed activity and then collect a reward (extra time in the courtyard) once 10 tokens were obtained. Ms. Rodriguez reports that Annie is not completing the tasks and then as a result, not earning any tokens. She asks you to revisit the hospital to determine what is not working.
1. What are three possible issues that can occur with a newly implemented behavior change program? Discuss what aspects of the program you would want to check on first before making any changes.
2. Choosing one of the three potential issues, elaborate on how this may be negatively impacting the program and how you could address the problem to increase the likelihood that the program would work.
3. Provide a step by step alternative behavior modification program (instead of the one presented) for Annie. Your new plan must include the following:
4. A description of the data-based intervention that you have chosen.
5. Your rationale for using the intervention as supported by relevant literature (your text and Journal articles)
6. The overall behavior goals associated with the use of the plan
7. The step-by-step procedures that the staff will take to implement the plan
8. How data will be collected
9. How progress will be monitored
