For this Assignment, you will create an informative brochure for your new
practice and include an audio recording sharing information about your
practice. Get as creative as you would like! This is your business and you want
to engage your audience. Most computer software includes brochure templates and
sound recording, but you can also obtain free templates and recording software
on the Internet.
Read
the following scenario, and then create your brochure and audio recording using
the instructions below the scenario.
You
are a “shiny new” Board Certified Behavior Analyst! Just 5-days ago, you took
your certification exam and received the news that you had passed! Since having
a private practice has always been your dream, you have already set up your
website and begun advertising.
The
phone rings; you answer, “Good morning, Behavior Improvement, Inc.”
The
woman calling states that she has been trying to locate an ABA service provider
who can work in the home with her 4-year-old son who has just recently been diagnosed
with Autism. She explains that she does not know how to deal with the tantrums,
rigidity, and non-compliance. She asks, “Are you accepting new clients?”
You
set up an appointment to meet at her home to discuss what ABA can do for her
child – and her family. First, you prepare an informative brochure that you can
leave with her – and that you can use in advertising your new practice. Then,
create an audio recording of your conversation with the woman, describing the
information found on your brochure.
Part
1: Brochure
Your
brochure should be, at minimum, a tri-fold document. You must use at least
three academic references to support the assertions made in the brochure.
Provide in-text citations in APA format. For this assignment, you will provide
a reference page that is separate from your brochure, in APA format, and on a
Word document.
The
following are items and/or questions you will want to address in your brochure
on ABA services:
General
ABA information
Specific
information on services you provide
Ethical
standards for ABA
Now
that you have presented what the ABA therapy process looks like – sort of the
ABA professional’s “operational definition” of services, it is time to discuss
the ethical standards that guide your work with clients. This section is a good
place in the brochure to include a non-discrimination statement (If you accept
Medicaid, you will be required to include such language.), languages you speak,
and, perhaps, “culture sensitive” approaches.
Utilize
the BACB’s “Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior
Analysts.”
This
project should follow the conventions of Standard English with writing that is
well ordered, logical and unified, as well as original and insightful. Your
work should display superior content, organization, style, and mechanics. You
should use correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Your work should be free
of typographical errors. For help with APA formatting, contact the Writing
Center.
Part
2: Audio Recording- You dont have to do the audio just type what should be
said.
Your
audio recording should be between 4-6 minutes. This recording should not be
read directly from the brochure, though you could write it down and practice
it. Please explain your practice as you would to a potential client, and
include the following information:
The
narrative must be spoken in Standard English, include a highly developed
viewpoint and purpose, and demonstrate superior oral delivery techniques,
including word choice and oral expressiveness. The communication of your
thoughts must be highly ordered, logical, and unified, displaying exceptional
content, organization, and style, while leading the audience to a dynamic and
supported conclusion.
