Part 1: Recorded Virtual Training
You have developed a treatment and supervision plan for an individual of your choice. For this assignment, you will prepare and record a training presentation for an audience of your choice based on your treatment and supervision plan. Record a presentation of your lecture-based training materials and create visual examples of all materials needed for direct implementation of the intervention and supervision plan.
Step 1: Create a slide presentation that includes the following:
- A welcome slide that indicates who you are training.
- A brief description of the specific client, if needed for your audience.
- A brief description of the target behavior:
- Confirm function (if behavior for reduction).
- Discuss goal for the target behavior or behaviors:
- Increase of replacement behavior.
- If behavior for increase only, discuss final outcome criteria.
- Decrease or eliminate problem behavior.
- The treatment plan.
- Include details necessary for implementation in audience-appropriate language.
- Data collection methods for full intervention.
- Include visual examples of data sheets with use instructions.
- Explanation of method for ensuring effective treatment in audience-appropriate language.
- Include visual examples of data sheets with explanation of how they will be used.
- Explain method for ensuring correct treatment implementation after training.
- Include visual examples of selected checklists and explanation of how they will be used, with appropriate detail for your selected audience.
- Next steps of training.
- Include what in-person training will entail and how feedback will be given.
- Include references to which visuals (shown previously) will be used to ensure the intervention is being implemented correctly before independent sessions are run.
- Discuss expected results from checklists/data sheets for completion of training in detail necessary for your selected audience.
- Include a slide that shows all references used to determine best practices in intervention, training, and supervision.
- Do not include in-text citations.
Remember to be concise when preparing your slides; use short bullets to capture main points and expand on those points in your voice-over.
Step 2: Record yourself presenting your work.
- Use Zoom or Kaltura to record your presentation. Review Using Zoom or Using Kaltura for tips.
- Voice-over with video screen share of your presentation is required. Webcam video of you in addition to the screen share is preferred, but not required.
- Record your presentation as though you are talking to your target audience.
Part 2: Session Material Examples
For Part 2 of this assignment, attach examples of each of the necessary materials discussed in your training and listed in the Week 8 discussion. Be sure to take feedback from that discussion into account when making your final choices. You only need to attach the examples. Do not include a separate rationale, as you will address your use of materials in your recorded virtual training. The number of items uploaded will differ based on the intervention being trained and supervised.
