...Title To investigate and reflect on the use of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with students who have Autism. Aims The aim of my project was to gain knowledge of Applied Behaviour Analysis and its effectiveness in working with children with Autism. My focus questions ask • What are the key principles underlying Applied Behaviour Analysis and how and why it benefits children who are autistic? • What is involved in setting up an Applied Behaviour Analysis program in the classroom environment? Both focus questions have helped me to investigate ABA, implement strategies that ABA employ and reflect on the program as a whole. I became part of a withdrawal program established for the purpose of intensive early intervention based on the principles of ABA. Harris, (2002 p19) explains “Applied Behavior Analysis takes basic principles in behaviour science and emphasizes the intensity that is needed for particular children”. As I progressed through my journey I discovered that ABA was indeed an extremely effective intervention program for autistic children. I felt that the whole process was a huge learning curve which in turn has had positive affects on my future practice. PARTS OF THE REPORT Rationale Explains why I embarked on this particular topic, process I used in decided topic, list of research strategies to achieve aims, Kemmis & McTaggarts (1988) Action Research Planner model Process -What were the key principles underlying Applied Behaviour...

The following are my findings. Please let me know if you have any additional questions regarding this matter. 1. Does the website have to list the state where s/he is licensed to practice? Yes, the website needs to state the states each attorney is licensed to practice. First and foremost, the intent of the website is to make it user friendly for the firm’s primary audience. The website needs to be organized and provide key points. A major key point would be states licensed to practice.

...Interventions for Children with Autism Name Institution Tutor Date Interventions for Children with Autism Individuals with autism demonstrate delays or deficits in social interaction and behaviours. Autism is apparent from early childhood, but can emerge in early adulthood. It is associated with a wide range of possible causes, but genetic factors are the main causes. Children with autism have impairments in cognition, language delays, and lack of or poor social interactions. Lack of communication may force these children to adopt repetitive behaviours such as self-inflicted injuries and violence. The teaching process requires interventions that address the repetitive behaviours, skill development, and play activities that promote communication and social interactions. Several authors have discussed different intervention models that are discussed in the sections below. Rita Jordan-Behavioural and Communication Intervention TEACCH Programme The programme is community based and targets children and adults with autism and communication disabilities. TEACCH aims at developing communication skills among autistic children, and help them work and play independently of adults (Jordan, Jones and Murray, 1998). The development of communication skills is based on their understanding capability and their ability to express themselves. The programme teaches several ways of communication, such as the use of photographs and pictures, symbols and words...

...Research Designs in Applied Behavior Analysis Research Designs in Applied Behavior Analysis Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the scientific study and systematic application of procedures that improve socially significant behaviors of living organisms and the members of the community in which they live (Mayer, Sulzer-Azaroff, & Wallace, 2014). Responsible practice requires the provision of convincing evidence of the procedure’s effectiveness through the substantiation of how the procedure operates to influence a change in the targeted behavior. A properly conducted behavior analysis will clearly identify the importance of the change in behavior, as well as provide convincing demonstrations of what behavior changed, and what caused it to...

...Bait and Switch Does the fact that Betty drove three hours in one-hundred-degree heat have any bearing on whether or not the dealer must perform in accordance with the published advertisement? The fact that Betty had drove three hours in one hundred degree weather to the venue in which the car is being sold, has no bearing on whether the dealer must perform in accordance with the published advertisement. Generally, ads are not offers but invitations for offers. Advertisements include sales promotion and offers intended to the recipients in the form of direct marketing, or sponsorship. The law calls these advertisements to the general public an invitation to make an offer on a particular item. Since the ad does not embody an offer, then a contract between the two parties doesn’t exist because offer and acceptance must be present to qualify as an offer. This situation does not qualify under the bait and switch laws because there are no unfair practices being done by not selling the car to Betty based simply on the fact that she drove three hours to the dealership. Although Betty might argue that she relied on her detriment (the doctrine of detrimental reliance) on the ad, the dealership is not obligated to sell the truck to Betty simply because she endured some unfavorable conditions to get to the dealership to make an offer to purchase the truck. When Tony said over the phone "three thousand dollars firm," was he making an offer that, if accepted, would bind the dealership...

...Discourse concerning limits of judicial accountability and judicial independence is not a recent development, being debated for over 200 years . In monitoring judicial actors, the American Bar Association’s (ABA) popular model, State Judicial Performance Evaluations (JPE), assist the judicature in a variety of goal setting techniques. While the cornerstone purpose of these Judicial Performance Evaluations vary by jurisdiction , the ABA sets forth two goals for the implementation of JPE’s: 1) To improve the performance of individual judges, and judiciary as a whole; as well as 2) Foster informed decision making in those jurisdictions that maintain a judiciary subject to reappointment, retention, or reelection. The assessment of judges is relatively new where ongoing advancements in technology and the scientific understanding of survey design have exposed weaknesses in States’ JPE’s. Advocates of an independent judiciary argue the role of judges is to remain faithful to the law and constitution without influence from external political forces or popular sentiment. The Constitution is “the best expedient, which can be devised in any government to secure a steady,...

...HOW TO DEAL WITH CROSS CULTURAL PROBLEMS IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS NEGOTIATION. EMEM UDOBONG* ABSTRACT: Businesses all over the world today are extending their frontiers beyond domestic markets. In this global business environment, cross cultural negotiation becomes a common field of research. This is primarily due to the fact that the negotiating parties are often from different countries, with different cultural values and beliefs which they usually bring with them to the negotiating table. What is communicated, how it is communicated, how people think and behave during negotiations can differ across cultures. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of culture on negotiation and suggest ways to deal with cross cultural problems in international business negotiations. An analytical approach is applied in this research. The conclusion reached is that effective international negotiators need to know not only the fundamentals of negotiation, but also how culture can influence the negotiator’s behavior and the negotiation agreement. Understanding, accepting and respecting the cultural values of the other parties is very important as it will lead to a more successful outcome. * The Author is a legal practitioner and holds an LL.B (Hons) from the Igbinedion University, Okada.

The ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement has become a common topic for families, which many believing that minorities are treated more harshly than whites in similar incidents. However, this movement should widen the scoop of its focus to include the discrimination not just of law enforcement officials, but also of the criminal justice system itself. Disparities in sentencing have skyrocketed since the 1980s and this increase is pushed by the war on drugs. Despite the clear evidence showing that sentencing reform must become a priority for policymakers due to both the social and economic aspects of this issue, things remain the same. The purpose of this essay is to inform the debate on sentencing reform, race, and education....
