Training Loosely
Means to Vary the training examples among different settings and
people/trainers at RISE.
Our patients will encounter various training
rooms. Patients work toward earning an
end of week terminal reinforcer, a “Friday fun time”. RISE
staff work like a team and are rotated, thus patients encounter multiple
trainers.
Multiple Exemplar Training
Means to use multiple and similar
examples of things in the environment.
EG: Multiple Examples of Red. Red comes in various
forms and has various meanings. Red = appears on a stop sign and means
for us to halt. Red = represents an
emotion (anger). Red = a financial
condition ("in the red”). Red comes
in various shades.
These
Infused Transfers are important because they:
·
Are BACB (Behavior Analyst Certification Board) ABA “Best
Practices”
·
Are Consistent with Natural Environment Training (NET), meaning:
o
Realistic and natural environment is being captured.
o
Child is exposed to a realistic experience versus a laboratory or
specific or controlled experience.
o
Avoids developing "robotic" appearing response.
·
Replicate the real world for better preparation for a realistic
social setting.
o
Such as school where they will encounter multiple teachers, other
school staff, numerous peers.
o
Such as work where they will encounter multiple bosses, varied
coworkers, public, unmotivating rules, and sudden changes.
o
Such as in a community where they will encounter multiple
authorities.
·
Break rigid behaviors vs reinforcing those behaviors.
·
Develop self-management tools to tolerate multiple conditions,
people, and environments.
- Avoid change trauma.
- Builds an expectation and tolerance for change and transition in trainers, parapro’s and to different classrooms teachers or substitute teachers, etc.
- Staff changes will be routine, so when they happen, they will feel natural and ‘ok’ vs traumatizing.
- Provide a protection against lapses and training losses in service, which is important to ensuring your full ABA prescription is accessible and deliverable.
