Document Summary
Indirect assessment: involving using interviews, questionnaires, and rating scales to obtain info on the target behaviour from the person exhibiting the behaviour or from others (e. g teachers, parentsetc). Steps needed to develop a behaviour recording plan: defining the target behaviour, determining the logistics of recording, choosing a recording method, choosing a recording instrument. Using active verbs to describe the target behaviour. Should not refer to any internal state(cannot observed) Avoid the use of labels (cannot be observed ) Interobserver reliability (ioa):when two independent people observe and record the same behaviour and both agreed that behaviour has occurred. Target behaviour should be observed by an independent observer or by a video camera. The person must have proximity to the client to observe the behaviour. The person must have the time allotted to observing and recording the target behaviour. The observer is sometimes observing and recording his/ her own behaviours, self monitoring .
