SPED 413 Final Project

Your Name: Shelly Townley

By: Shelly Townley


For: Student A
Birthday:2/22/08
Primary Disability: Cognitive Disability
Reviewed on: February 14th, 2023

Education: Student A attends Blank Middle School, and she is in the RISE program. RISE is a self-contained

program for special education students. She receives public school bus transports to and from school. She starts

at 7:55 a.m. the same as her peers and ends at 3:38 p.m. which is ten minutes before her peers get out. She

goes to special class with her RISE classmates and no other peers. She sits at lunch with her RISE peers, but

there are also other peers around. She doesn’t eat at school, she has too much anxiety. The nurse tube feeds her

twice a day. She has academic challenges which are learning difficulties with math and with her memory. If she

hasn’t practiced something for a day or two, she completely forgets it. She struggles staying on task, counting

money is a concept that has been reviewed and she doesn't comprehend it. She does read very well and needs

no extra outside help with reading.

Family History: Student A moved from State A to State B at the beginning of last school year. She lives with both

his parents, an older sister and a younger brother. She has a good relationship with her parents. She gets along

with her brother and sister as all kids get along with their siblings. Her brother is in the same middle school, and

her sister just graduated High School in January.

Medical History: Student A’s primary disability is Cognitive Disability. She had lived in the Children’s Hospital for

over 2 years of her life. She is tube fed, and has slow muscles. She has had many surgeries. She is on medication

for his ADHD, Anxiety, Major Depression, and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder. She was born with many

of her diagnoses. She has severe astigmatism that she wears glasses for.
Strengths: Is always stepping up to help others in need. She is good at basic reading and can find a page in a

book when instructed to. She is good at listening to audio stories, and songs. She can write her name on her

paper. She can copy from the board what is written. She can use a basic calculator. She cares for people around

her.

Likes: Student A likes listening to music with her ear pods. She loves to be outdoors, hunt, and fish. She likes to

play basketball and run. She loves her dog. She likes to hang with her friends. She likes fidget toys, and shiny

gold things.

Dislikes: Student A dislikes writing time and anytime she must write. She dislikes most food, she is selective on

taste and texture. She also doesn’t like to sit still, and is not fond of watching movies.

Challenges: When Student A misses any of her meds or gets overwhelmed she can become aggressive by

yelling, throwing objects, and hitting objects around her. Depending on the situation she will become hurtful to

others by throwing things at people, or she will go hide. She will also use foul language when she gets mad and

make threats that she doesn’t mean. Writing and money is a big challenge for her. Saving her has so much

impulse that she can’t understand the concept of saving. If she isn’t interested in the lesson, activity that is going

on she will refuse to do it.

Wishes/Goals: Student A’s goals is to go to High School, and when she becomes an adult work with her dad. She

wants to get her learner's permit. She wants to buy a Ferrari or a Lambo. She wants to get better at basketball.

Assessments: Student A has taken the MAPS testing the last two years. All tests were given to her by her case

manager and taken in an area by herself in the RISE classroom. She did get to use a calculator for math and audio

reading for any words.

Observation: 2/14/23 by Dad and Me(Shelly Townley)

Student A was observed at her home, she showed her bedroom, living room, and backyard. When asking

questions about herself she had a hard time understanding words like wish and goal. I had to use different words

to help her understand. She doesn’t sit still;s he is constantly walking around. She also doesn’t stay in the same

room very long. She loves to show and talk about his toys. She has a great imagination. She can make his own

tuna. She can use the can opener to open tuna, put tuna in a bowl, then get mayo out of the fridge and mix it in.

She loves tuna with just tuna and mayo. She says he wants to learn to make ramen noodles on his own. She can

help unload the dishwasher but needs to be redirected throughout and doesn’t know where everything goes.
Skills to be Addressed:

Student A will work on learning to make ramen noodles on her own, and being able to unload the dishwasher

without distractions and learn where everything goes. To help with the steps for making ramen, I will make a

visual for each step. She likes timers, and will use a timer to help her stay focused on the task of unloading the

dishwasher.

Goal #1: Making ramen noodles on her own.

Objective #1: Will be able to measure and put all the ingredients on his own into the pot. 10 out of 10 times of
making ramen noodles.

Objective #2: Will be able to measure and put all the ingredients on her own into the pot. Then be able to wait
the 3 minutes that it takes to cook. Stirring the ramen during that time. Then ask for help to pour the ramen into
a bowl. Student A will achieve this goal 80 percent of the time.

Goal #2: Student A will be able to unload the dishwasher on his own without distractions and be able to put
everything where it goes.

Objective #1: Will be able to unload the dishwasher without distractions for the time it takes to clear 75 percent
of the dishwasher. Will also be able to ask for help when he doesn’t know where it goes.

Objective #2: Will be able to unload the dishwasher without distractions to unload the whole dishwasher, and be
able to put everything away without help 90 percent of the time.

PREFERENCE ASSESSMENT REFLECTION


Date Assessment Given:

The student I have chosen to work with this semester is an eighth-grade student. She goes to middle
school all day. She is in a Rise Classroom all day except for when she goes to Rise PE, lunch, and Pro time.
Other than Pro time he is with the Rise students all day. I chose this student because he is slow at some things,
but she does have great ability on tasks. The objects I went with were chosen because they are his favorite toys
for sitting down. She has had many assessments since he was three years old, that he could have possibly had
this assessment in the past. She has only been in State B for a little over a year.

I administered the assessment with six actual objects. I put each object in front of the student ten times.
The first part, the object was shown five of ten times and the second five of ten times. When choosing my
student knew exactly which one she wanted in less than five seconds. She did amazing at giving the object back
so we could continue the assessment.

When the assessment was completed, I added up the scores. The two objects that were chosen the most
were the toy car and the toy truck with flatbeds with each at 30 percent. When the two were paired together to
pick his favorite, she chose the toy car in the first round. The second round she had chosen the toy truck with
the Flatbed. Below is a chart of his choice preferences for each object.

Object Trial Set 1 Trial Set 2


Toy Car (30%) 5/5 4/5

Basketball (3%) 1/5 0/5

Transformer pop 0/5 1/5


it
(3%)
Toy Truck with 4/5 5/5
Flatbed (30%)
Fire Truck (13%) 2/5 2/5

Fidget Ring (21%) 3/5 3/5

Findings from this assessment will help know the objects to use for reinforcement. First, I
would choose the flatbed truck with flatbed, second the toy car as both are her favorite. The third
would be a fidget ring. The basketball and transformer pop I will not use because she had little
interest, and that wouldn’t give her the reinforcement he needs. When starting out I would use the fire
truck (13%) and the fidget ring (21%). On days where she has achieved a new goal or is working hard
through a bad day, I will use the toy car (30%) and the toy truck with a flatbed (30%).

Scoring: (This part is taken from Teaching Individuals with Physical or Multiple Disabilities 5th Edition by
Sherwood J. Best, Kathryn Wolff Heller, and June L. Brigge. (2005) page 165.)
“Falvey (1989) provides a formula for determining percentages for the levels of assistance provided when
individuals engage in different activities. Falvey presents a scale in which the heaviest weighting (6) is given to
those skills or subtasks of activities which are accomplished in response to natural cues in the environment,
without any physical assistance or verbal and gestural cues. The more assistance needed, the less the weighting.
Therefore, a low rating is given if full physical assistance is needed. It is assumed that increases in a percentage
of independence in skills within an activity reflect an overall increase in independence in the activity.
The weighting-scale items chosen by Falvey (1989) for the methods of assistance are as follows:
1 = Physical guidance (hand-guided manipulation)
2 = Modeling (demonstration followed by imitation from the learner; always face the task from the
same direction as the learner would).
3 = Direct Verbal (“Flip it over”; “Other hand”; “trace the line”; “add the next number” “look at
the hands on the clock”)
4 = Indirect Verbal (“Where does it go?”; “What do you do next?”)
5 = Gestural (Pointing; making a straight line motion; tapping near where it goes).
6 = Natural Cue (basically able to do what is expected independently at an appropriate time)”

Calculating the Score: “Two kinds of information are needed to calculate the percentage of independence:
level of student performance and independence level. (Falvey, 1989). Level of student performance is the total
rating of each skill at any one attempt at a particular activity. A student rating of 30 would have been attained
by a person who completed five skills with ratings of 6 on each response to natural cues. For a student who
performed five skills with ratings of 3, 2, 3, 4, and 6, the student level would be 18. Independence level is the
total representing the performance of all skills in response to natural cues (all 6’s). If there are five skills, the
independence level is 30 (5x6); if nine skills, the independence level is 54 (9 x 6). Percentage of independence
is determined by the student level divided by the independence level, multiplied by 100.

LESSON 1

Name: Shelly Townley


Student: Student A
Skill: Making Ramen Noodles
Date: 3/20/2023
Time: 6:00 p.m.

Reflection from prior lesson


● She struggled with knowing where the cupboards and drawers were. Need to work on her knowing
where to go for cooking utensils.

Contextual Factors/ Learner Characteristics


● Supper time, she sometimes isn’t hungry. When he says she isn’t hungry it's usually because she
doesn’t want to stop playing to eat. Tell her she will have play time after she makes ramen and eats. If
you need an incentive, tell him she can choose between a small bag of doritos or have 3 small slim jims
after she has made the ramen and ate it.
● She is restless, and doesn’t like to wait. If she is restless, set a timer for 5 minutes. Show her the times,
and point out that when the timer is done, she is done. This helps her know it won’t take a long time.

Lesson Goal(s) / Standards


● Student A will do 7 steps of making ramen noodles on her own.

Lesson Objective(s)
● The student will be 5 percent gesture
● The student will be 5 percent verbal.

Generalization Goal(s)
● Student will be able to find where each cupboard and drawer is in the kitchen.
● Student will be able to make food and drinks on their own, including protein drinks, chocolate milk, and
alfredo noodles.
Assessment
● To observe the first 6 steps without modeling and see how she does.
● Use a SLP Data Sheet as she goes through the steps.

Connection(s) to Research & Theory


● Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA): ABA is a research-based intervention that focuses on modifying
behavior through the use of reinforcement techniques. System of Least Prompts
● Task Analysis: Task analysis involves breaking down complex skills into smaller, more manageable
steps. This method helps students with severe disabilities to acquire new skills and perform tasks
independently.


https://datafinch.com/prompt-hierarchy-aba/

● Reminding her how last time making ramen noodles went


● Observe the steps she does to make the ramen.
● Ask questions throughout as needed.
● Using a task analysis to breakdown the steps
● Using a SLP Data Sheet to breakdown the steps
● Will use System of Least Prompts based on Applied Behavior Analysis

A. The Lesson

● Introduction (2 minutes)
○ getting attention: Ok, Student A let's get started on making ramen noodles.
○ relating to past experience and/or knowledge: We have worked on making ramen noodles more
independently.
○ creating a need to know: Today I am going to observe more and let you do more steps by
yourself.
○ sharing objective, in general terms: You will be able to make ramen noodles more by yourself.

● Content Delivery 15 minutes)


○ Ok, Student A you will start to make ramen. As you are cooking I will observe and help as needed.
I am going to watch you do more by yourself today.
○ Now go through the steps one by one, while making ramen noodles.
○ Will give her 30 seconds to a minute to remember the step on her own. Then will start with the least
prompt first.
○ As needed throughout I will use gestural, indirect and direct verbal, gestural, and natural cues, to
help her through the steps. For example pointing to cupboards to help her find the right one. Saying
a number so she knows what to have the stove as.
○ When she does a few steps well, I will give him a verbal praise.
○ Student A can ask for help throughout the whole process
○ Doing prompts, for example what is the next step after adding water?
○ Use the SLP Data Sheet to remember each step, and the order in which to do it.
○ If she gets mad or overwhelmed, she can have a 3 minute break to breathe and calm down.
○ Verbal reinforcements.

System of Least Prompts Steps What exactly you will say, do.

Give attentional cues. General or specific cue Student A, Let’s get started making
Ramon Noodles.

Wait for an attentional response. General or specific response Student A comes to the kitchen or
counter area.

Deliver task direction. Verbal Verbal direction as needed on each


individual step.

Wait for an independent response. Interval required for fluency Give 30 seconds to let her remember
the next step on his own.

Provide a controlling prompt from Beginning with least intrusive prompt, Will move through these as needed
hierarchy, if needed. moving through prompt hierarchy until for each individual step.

Provide consequences. Reinforcement or error correction; Verbal Praise “Great job, Student A,
may add non targeted information remembering and doing that step”
“Awesome, you did that step
independently!”
Error correction done verbally paired
with modeling if needed.

Record data. Correct or incorrect response

Repeat. Session continues for designated


number of trials or steps

● Closure (3 minutes)
○ Ask Student A how he thought he had done.
○ I will point out where she did well.
○ Will remind her of the goal of being able to make ramen noodles on her own.

B. Generalization/Maintenance Overall Plan

Generalization objective: Student A will be able to make food and drinks on their own, including protein drinks,
chocolate milk, and alfredo noodles.

Materials and activities for generalization: Measuring cups and spoons will be used for activities. Also, glasses and
silverware will be used. Making drinks, and different foods.

Instructional strategies for generalization: Will use the system of least prompts to help the student become
independent.

Opportunities for practice: Will use kitchen at home, and use kitchen at the grandparents house.

Data collection: Will use the SLP Data Sheet to collect the data. The teacher will collect the data. The data will be
collected weekly.

Evaluation and modification: Will ask the parents every week how they believe Student A is doing on becoming
more independent. Will also ask Student A how she thinks he is doing weekly. Will look at what prompts need to
change based on the information from the parents and Student A.

Collaboration and communication: Will talk to Students A case manager on how she is at school working
independently. Will talk to parents about the plan and how the plan is going.

Reinforcement and feedback: Positive reinforcement will include verbal phrases. Will tell the student weekly what
they did well at. If s he does a step right make sure he gets phrased for doing it right.
Clear Generalization Goals (Should include across materials, people, settings)
o Be specific what materials will be used to promote generalization.
o Be specific what environments the student will be able to practice the skill and how these will be
incorporated into lessons/units.
o Be specific on the plan to include more individuals for the student to practice the skill with.
o Once the student has mastered the skill, what is the plan for maintenance?
o How will the data be collected?
o How often will the data be collected in the maintenance plan?

Clear Generalization Goals


o Student A will be able to make ramen noodles in different settings, including the kitchen of her house
and grandparents house with 75 percent accuracy.

Reflection

Student A was happy to make ramen noodles, and became more independent. She does better with less verbal
correction. Next time I will try to do less verbal. Her task analysis score went up to 67 percent. If she continues
improving at this speed, in the next 5 sessions will see how she will do most of the cooking on his own. She was
ok asking for help to pour his ramen noodles into the bowl. Next time I will use less verbal help and the main
verbal will be praise.

Connection(s) to Research & Theory


● Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA): ABA is a research-based intervention that focuses on modifying
behavior through the use of reinforcement techniques. System of Least Prompts
● Task Analysis: Task analysis involves breaking down complex skills into smaller, more manageable
steps. This method helps students with severe disabilities to acquire new skills and perform tasks
independently.

Reflection

Student A had a great time making ramen noodles. She has improved and has become 81 percent independent.
She didn’t need anything modeled. She has improved by going down to 19 percent in verbal. Will work
towards making no verbals . She did a great job asking for help to finish making her ramen noodles. Next time I
will continue making new verbal phrases.

Generalization and Maintenance Plan

Generalization objective: Student will be able to make food and drinks on their own, including protein drinks,
chocolate milk, and alfredo noodles.

Materials and activities for generalization: Measuring cups and spoons will be used for activities. Also, glasses and
silverware will be used. Making drinks, and different foods.

Instructional strategies for generalization: Will use the system of least prompts to help the student become
independent.

Opportunities for practice: Will use kitchen at home, and use kitchen at the grandparents house.

Data collection: Will use the SLP Data Sheet to collect the data. The teacher will collect the data. The data will be
collected weekly.

Evaluation and modification: Will ask the parents every week how they believe Student A is doing on becoming
more independent. Will also ask Student A how she thinks she is doing weekly. Will look at what prompts need to
change based on the information from the parents and Student A.

Collaboration and communication: Will talk to Student A case manager on how she is at school working
independently. Will talk to parents about the plan and how the plan is going.
Reinforcement and feedback: Positive reinforcement will include verbal phrases. Will tell the student weekly what
they did well at. If she does a step right make sure she gets phrased for doing it right.

Chart

Final Reflection
Student A did an amazing job progressing and making ramen noodles on her own. She isn’t
fully independent on making ramen noodles. She is very close and has achieved a lot. She will be able
to continue to learn to make basic foods on her own. It helped that she now knows where everything is
in the kitchen.
Student A did make great steps in the six lessons we did. I believe in a couple more times and
she will be able to do it on her own. At the beginning she would get frustrated that she needed so much
help. Now she is excited about how much she can do on her own. She ended up not needing any
rewards. She was so excited to make ramen noodles on her own.
She liked learning to make the food, and she wants to continue to learn not only food, but
drinks, for example chocolate milk and protein shakes.
