Case Study #2: Jeffrey

Jeffrey is a high student with a mild intellectual disability and a problem with his temper when he becomes frustrated. He frequently throws his books, papers, and backpack on the floor during passing time between his classes. Currently, Jeffrey has been assigned a teaching assistant who assists Jeffrey in getting to his next class. When Jeffrey throws his things in the hall, this paraprofessional has been cleaning up the mess before proceeding down the hall with Jeffrey to his next class. This causes Jeffrey to be late to class on occasion, and it is very irritating to his teachers and classmates.

Use the template below to diagram the function of this student’s behavior. Label the antecedent, the inappropriate or targeted behavior, and the function of the behavior. Once you have completed this diagram, come up with a plan of how you would address this behavior if Jeffrey attended one of your classes at the high school. Write out the steps you would use and the statements, reinforcers, etc. that you would use in your plan. Describe it in a way that anyone could review your plan and know what it would look like if they walked into the hallway and observed you working with this student.
