you are a student accruing your fieldwork experience hours at Sunrise Autism Center. Sunrise would like you to complete technician evaluations so you can earn hours and the technicians can learn their areas of strengths and weaknesses. You will then create goals and performance expectations for the technician and discuss how these skills can be generalized and maintained. Begin by reviewing the videos below.

Assignment Directions

Use the template to evaluate the technicians. Begin by reviewing the short videos below and completing the evaluation form the technician.

• Discrete Trial Training (DTT) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_ohTAaQON8
• Natural Environment Training (NET) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf-pcbWYEJc
• Behavior https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T2R8pTpcoo

Technician Evaluation Form

Scoring Key:0 (Never), 1 (Sometimes), 2 (Usually), 3 (Always)

Technician 1 Goals and Performance Expectations Goals

Scoring Key:0 (Never), 1 (Sometimes), 2 (Usually), 3 (Always)

Learner Focused	Score	Feedback
Therapist keeps the learner within arm's reach and/or eyesight at all times (unless otherwise specifically noted).
Therapist blocks all unsafe circumstances
Therapist maintains the learner's dignity (by keeping the learner clean, using age-appropriate language with the learner, speaking positively about the learner in the learner's presence, etc.)
Behavior	Score	Feedback
Therapist maintains appropriate tone of voice and demeanor in the presence of both preferred and non-preferred behaviors.
Therapist uses least to most prompting.
Therapist assesses the function of the learner's behavior in-the-moment and responds accordingly.
Reinforcement	Score	Feedback
Therapist only reinforces appropriate and correct behavior.
Therapist delivers reinforcers immediately after appropriate behavior.
Therapist uses differential reinforcement (reinforces desired behaviors and withholds reinforcement for problem behavior) throughout the session.
Reassesses the learner's motivation throughout the session as needed (when the learner shows signs of satiation).
Therapist only uses positive directives (ex: "lights stay on" rather than "don't turn the lights off").
Teaching	Score	Feedback
Therapist obtains the learner's attention prior to delivering instruction.
Therapist states instructions clearly and in a natural tone of voice.
Therapist avoids inadvertent prompts (ex: gesturing to correct response).
Therapist introduces prompts from least to most following errors.

Then, based on the evaluations you completed, create three goals and two performance expectations for each technician. Goals are what the technician needs to work on and improve for the next evaluation. These are things that the technician does but could do better. Performance expectations are things that are expected of the technician but are currently not being met. These are top priority and should be addressed immediately rather than by the next evaluation.

Finally, discuss how to promote generalization and maintenance of the trainees' skills.
