COMP INSTRUCTIONS: Reаd thrоugh the behаviоr interventiоn plаn (BIP) provided below and answer a series of questions about the quality of the BIP. You will see an image of this plan as you progress through the series of questions about the BIP. C. Behavior Intervention Plan Background Information and Presenting Concern: M. C. is a 3.5-year-old child with autism whose family is seeking services to address several “nervous habits” including nail biting, skin picking, and scratching his arms. He has been engaging in these behaviors for about 6-8 months and they have resulted in tissue damage to his cuticles and the end of his fingers as well as the backs of his hands where he primarily scratches. His parents are concerned about infection as M. C. has open wounds and puts his hands in his mouth as well as into his diaper. They have not tried any other interventions except telling him to stop and washing his hands. M. C.’s parents would like to decrease all of these behaviors to the point where there are no more sores of any kind on his hands. M. C. can make requests in 3–5-word sentences and hugs from his parents, lotion, and bubbles have been identified as highly preferred items for him. Operational Definitions: Biting nails: Inserting a fingernail or finger into the mouth and closing the teeth around any portion of the nail or finger (e.g., cuticles, fingertips). The behavior includes the teeth clinching the nail or parts of the finger or removing skin or cuticles with/without visible open wounds. Skin picking: Picking the skin and pinching the skin. Scratching: Dragging the fingernails over the skin (e.g., the back of the hands) resulting in a visible change in the skin (e.g., mark on the skin, mark on the skin, open wound). Request for relief: When experiencing skin irritation, M.C. will ask for anti-itch cream by appropriately asking for itch-relief cream (e.g., “help, I itch”, “cream”, “itchy”, “itch cream please”). Data Collection: Each observed instance of biting nails, skin picking, scratching, and requesting will be recorded on a frequency data sheet between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:30 pm. That total frequency count will be divided by the total duration of the observation each day to produce a daily rate for each behavior. In addition, the total visible sores on his hands will be measured using a weekly permanent product measure. On Friday at 4 pm, take a high-resolution picture of both of his hands laying on the table in the marked outlines that we have made of his hands. Place the camera approximately 8 inches above his hands. Functional Assessment and Results: No functional assessment was conducted but M. C. seems to be itchy, so we are going to assume that the function is automatic negative reinforcement (e.g., relief from itching). Behavioral Intervention: Functional Communication Training Since we think M. C. is itchy, he will be taught a functional communication response of asking for medicine to help the itching. He will be taught via prompting and reinforcement to request anti-itch cream. You can accept any variation of an appropriate request (see operational definition for more information). When he says the target response, rub the anti-itch cream on his hands. If M. C., bites his nails, scratches his hands, or picks at his skin, block the response and say, “Oh you poor thing, do you need a hug and is there something you want to ask me?” Checklist Item #7 of 7: The behavior intervention plan clearly specifies reasonable consequences for all target behaviors including the replacement behavior.
