Functional analysis is considered a best practice for identifying the causes of problem behavior such as self-injury, aggression, stereotypy and noncompliance.
Functional analysis methodology is an assessment strategy that identifies sources of reinforcement that maintain problem behavior and prescribes individualized interventions that directly alter the conditions under which behavior occurs (Brian A. Iwata, 2005).MemberDear Families,
My name is Jodie Wickens. I am the parent facilitator for the Tri-Cities ABA neighbourhood network. I have an 8 year old son in the Coquitlam school district, who lives with autism. I am writing you today for a very specific request, we need help!
You may or may not know that we are lobbying for SD 43 to adopt an ABA support worker program in Coquitlam, similar to what exists in Surrey. We have been told by the district that this program is in direct opposition to SD 43s philosophies. We have a district here that is putting bandages on single family experiences and ignoring the needs of a large group.
There are no guarantees under the current system, for my child, or anyones. The ABA SW program would ensure that my child would pull out of a pool of SEAs that have specific and supervised training in ABA. These SEAs would more likely to be invested in using the principles and understand how to use these principals under the guidance of our Behaviour Consultants.
Right now, we need parents willing to talk about their experiences; willing to go public. We have a school district that is stating that they are the most inclusive and have the best graduation rates. We parents are liars!
Please think about sharing your story if you have one and joining us on this journey.
I thank you in Advanced! A fellow loving parent, Jodie Wickens jbtwickens@gmail.com and the Tri-Cities ABA support Network!MemberDear Families,

I am working on a project for school which will also be a project for the ABA support network website. I want to compile stories of "why we do ABA." So many people have misconceptions of ABA and there are way too many junk science testimonials! Please help me out and put a short story behind all of our hard work
