ABA Intervention Design
Consider all of the designs we have discussed. Select a behavior and an intervention and indicate which design you could implement to determine the validity of the intervention. You should not include a peer reviewed journal article. Instead, please answer the following questions regarding your own research idea to prepare for the last portion of your final project:

ABA Intervention Design
- Who would your participant(s) be? Do not enter any identifying information. For example you may have “Student A was a 14-year old girl diagnosed with ADHD” or “Participant was an 8-year old boy at the Adult Day Treatment Program” (1 point)
- What behavior will you measure? (2 points)
- What is your intervention? It must be an ABA intervention. (2 points)
- What is your experimental question? (5 points)
- What design are you using? Why? You must select a design that was covered in our course. If you select any other design, you will not earn points on this discussion post. (5 points)
- How will you know your intervention was successful (hypothetically)? Here you will have to sketch (but not submit) what your ideal graph should look like and be sure to describe the wanted descriptions of the visual analysis. For example, trend, level, variability, and latency to change. (5 points)

Research Participants, Behavior, Intervention, and Experimental Question
The participant is Student A, a 14-year-old girl diagnosed with ADHD. The behavior measured is her on-task behavior during independent study periods. The intervention selected is a Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO), an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) technique. DRO provides reinforcement when the targeted undesired behavior does not occur for a specified time. The experimental question asks: “Does implementing DRO increase the duration of on-task behavior in Student A during independent study?” This question aims to assess the effectiveness of DRO in improving attention and reducing off-task behavior………………………..
