A Counseling Skills Experiment As with all new skills, time and practice make a difference. The micro-skills used in counseling are no different. Practicing skills even in social conversation offers insight into the effects of applying these skills so that you can use them intentionally in counseling. Intentionally use one of this week’s micro-skills ( attending skills, encouragers, a reflection of content, or reflection of feelings ) in a social conversation with a friend or co-worker. In 3 or 4 paragraphs describe what happened and identify the impact that using this micro-skill had upon the interaction. Be specific.

Find an evidence-based intervention for this scenario would DRO be appropriate? or extinction? Consider this scenario: A family has contacted you about the care of their grandfather, Juan, who has Alzheimer’s disease. The nursing home staff report that Juan engages in frequent elopement from the nursing home facility when unattended, and verbal aggression that has caused disruptions to the other nursing home residents. A review of the files shows that the nursing home contracted with a BCaBA who did not conduct a functional behavior assessment but advised setting limits, being consistent with rules, and blocking Juan from engaging in problem behavior. The nursing home staff decided to incorporate these strategies by restricting Juan from accessing the courtyard or roaming the halls, leaving him to stay all day in his room with only accompanied walks to therapies and the dining hall. Juan’s behaviors escalated and they have stated they will be ordering the use of chemical restraints to block occurrences of the problem behavior.

 

Prepare a formal letter to the family with your recommendations.

Analyze, within the letter, at least five BACB ethical code elements that are relevant to your discussed behavior analytic procedure and this scenario.
