Activity Details
In this module, you will begin Part 1 of the Assessment Project.
Part 1: Conduct a Skills Assessment – VB-MAPP, PEAK, or AFLS (student choice)
[BACB Task List (5th edition) content areas F1, F2, F3, F4, F9]
1. Select a learner for this project and obtain requisite permissions (participant, parent/guardian, employer) to conduct a skills assessment. If you do not work with learners, you are welcome to use a friend or family member – children under 5 are best suited for the VB-MAPP assessment; PEAK and AFLS can be used with any age learner/person. The assessment may be conducted virtually. Please obtain or create the permission form on your own, which should include: your name, the purpose of the assessment (in partial completion of this course) and what will occur with the results (they will be submitted for a grade to your CI, using a pseudonym, and may be provided to the family upon request – they may not be used for any official records for the learner). You will not turn in this permission form.
2. Conduct and score at least 2 sections (domains) of the assessment you select (see below for details on obtaining the assessments). Note that PEAK is only one area, and domains are scattered throughout the assessment.
3. Analyze results of the assessment and identify strengths and areas of need.
4. Develop instructional goals for 5 prioritized skills for the learner based on assessment results. Substantiate the social significance of these goals for your participant.
