Problem

You are a BCBA working for a school district and consulting with the teacher, Mr. Patel, of a typical fourth-grade classroom. Mr. Patel has 35 students in his class. One of his students, Jalal, never raises his hand to volunteer to speak in class during group instruction (six 30-minute periods per day). From individual conversations and Jalal's school work, Mr. Patel has identified that Jalal knows the answers to the questions, but Jalal is shy and seems not to want to talk in front of others. In discussion with Mr. Patel, you have decided to implement differential reinforcement of high rates (DRH), in which Jalal will earn 10 minutes of computer time (a highly preferred activity) at the end of the day when he meets his criterion. You will begin with targeting raising his hand and responding to one question per day. This number will be increased by one when Jalal responds at the current level for 5 consecutive days. This will continue until Jalal raises his hand and answers seven questions per day. Get the instant assignment help.
