Applied Behavior Analysis
Prepare a case study using the following background information below and uploaded attachment file.
A few weeks ago, I was introduced to a four-year-old boy who will be referenced as Student A. Student A is currently in kindergarten and attends school daily. Student A has recently been diagnosed with autism. According to caregivers, student A has also recently began expressing himself verbally. He receives speech and occupational therapy among other services during school hours. Student A comes from a loving environment. He is a twin and lives at home with his parents and twin sister.
– Some of the behaviors displayed by student A include excessive yelling, crying, and eloping. Various behavior reduction strategies have been presented to decrease and
replace the problem behaviors such as breathing exercises, using gestures of tapping to gain attention from others
– Follow 10 1-step direction within 3 seconds
– Perform self-soothing skills with counting up and counting down to 10
On the centralreach website, the BA’s are able to document the behavior and time when the client engages in problem behavior or uses replacement behavior which allows for graphing and visualization for overall better assisting the BA with learning on the progress of the client.
Why it is customary for Quirpinis to drink corn beer
Why is it customary for Quirpinis to drink corn beer (chicha) and grain alcohol (trago) at the same time? How does this practice relate to broader ideas in Quirpini about how the social and physical word is organized? How does a house patio in Quirpini act as a “frame” that both changes the significance of people’s behavior and requires that people change their behavior.
What does our textbook mean by “emergent masculinity”? Give an example, preferably from the book.
Briefly explain Paul Farmer’s idea of “structural violence”, then apply it to the situation of rural Mexican indigenous women as described in the Sapiens.org article “How Natural Childbirth Became Inaccessible to the Poor”. In what sense can you say that they are experiencing structural violence?

Pressure for change originates in the environment
A noted organization theorist once said, “Pressure for change originates in the environment. Pressure for stability originates within the organization.” Do you agree?
Use experience and intuition
If managers frequently use experience and intuition to make complex, non-programmed decisions, how do they apply evidence-based management (which seems to suggest that managers should rely on facts and data)?
Rational or political model of organization
In a rapidly changing organization, are decisions more likely to be made using the rational or political model of organization?
Woman and power in byzantium
You will also need to reference at least one outside peer-review of the book. (Links to peer-reviews can be found in the book listing on the library website)
Make sure that the book’s title and author is used as the title for the book review.
You’ll need to identify the author’s thesis, what is his argument, why did he write the book. For full points you’ll also need to mention where this work stands
in relations to works by other authors on the topic. What do his colleagues have to say on the subject, how is the author’s work similar, how is it different?
(This is usually found in the introduction of the book)
You’ll need to have two body paragraphs where you write about how the author defends their thesis. What historical examples do they use. Again, for full
points, you’ll also need to explain why these examples work. So for example if I was reviewing a book on the aggressiveness of Roman imperialism listing the
Third Punic War where Roman finally destroyed the city of Carthage would get you a satisfactory score. Full points would need something along the lines of
“The destruction of Carthage during the 3rd Punic War demonstrates the aggressiveness of Roman imperial ambitions. At this time Carthage did not have
the means to seriously challenge Rome militarily, and Rome itself was in a different position. It’s expansion into Greece meant the resources it could marshal
were vastly superior to the dark days of the Second Punic War when Hannibal was destroying one army after another in Italy.”
Finally, you will need to make sure your proofread your paper since grammar and organization do count as a component of your grade.
