Document Summary

A successful behavior modification program has four phases. During which the target behavior is identified, defined, and recorded: (a) a screening or intake phase. To determine whether a particular agency or behavior therapist is appropriate to deal with a potential client"s behavior. To inform the client about the agency"s or practitioner"s policies and procedures related to service provision. Screen for the presence of a crisis condition (child abuse, suicide risk, etc. ) that might require immediate intervention (b) a preprogram or baseline assessment phase. Assesses the target behavior to determine its level prior to the introduction of the program or treatment. Fter making a precise preprogram assessment, an applied behavior analyst or behavior therapist will design a program to bring about the desired behavior change. In community and clinical settings, the program is referred to more often as an intervention strategy or a therapy program. (d) a follow-up phase. In this section, we give a brief overview of these phases.
