Above is an AB Design Graph that indicates the frequency of problem behavior. As it shows, X axis indicates different learning sessions for Amiti while each session lasts one hour. Y axis shows the number of behavior when Amiti gets doze during the session. The solid-line data are baseline data which were collected before intervention. It shows that Amiti could be doze up to 3 times during a one-hour session. The dash-line data were collected after the intervention which shows a decreasing number of behavioral. The intervention was effective since the dash-line data has a lower average of number of problem behavior. This effectiveness will be stable for at least a short amount of time in future. However, due to a durational limit of this project, data are only collected from less than 10 sessions. They could be more accurate if the observation period takes longer. Therefore, in order to best reach target behavior which is to let Amiti engaging in activities, we need to keep tracking with the data and trend to make justice if needed in future.

1. Critical Evaluation of Project
According to the graph in part C, this intervention is effective, because Amiti’s behavior from the baseline data to after intervention data she got many change. The problem behavior occurred more frequently before intervention which shows in the baseline (solid-line) data. After intervention, she was more active to enjoy the games and engage the activities to learn the language.
After functional assessment observe, we collected the baseline data. According to the baseline data, the behavior baseline data and the information acquired through my Part 1, I set up intervention plan for Amiti. I think the baseline collected we did is good.
According to the intervention plan, we implement the plan during this week, everything getting better and better. Her doze behavior become less and less. I think the intervention process is good.
But I think the functional assessment is not good as intervention implementation, because the time is not long enough for the ABA project.
2. Notes to teacher
Because Amiti’s doze behavior is from her age, her busy schedule, we think, we need to continue the intervention as we did in the past a few sessions. If we stop this intervention, she will be doze again at any time. Because the intervention, most of are make her happy then don’t sleep.
