The Effects of Peer-Mediated Positive Behavior Supports On An Elementary School Student Exhibiting Internalizing Behavior
There were two presentations given that talk about us peers as a way of help students exhibiting Internalizing Behavior. The presentations will explore the results of using a peer as a mediator of a positive behavior support plan designed for students referred for internalizing behaviors who was at-risk for social and academic failure. The intervention process included functional behavioral assessment (FBA) from which the function of behavior was hypothesized to be escape/avoidance. FBA results were then linked to an individualized positive behavior support plan (PBSP). A self-management procedure and social skills instruction designed to meet specific student needs served as the foundation of the PBSP. A single subject ABAB design was used to evaluate the intervention. During all intervention phases, the student’s socially appropriate classroom behavior exceeded the mean of comparison students from his classroom with his work completion rate exceeding that required by the teacher. This marked improvement maintained through systematic fading of reinforcement. Interobserver agreement was assessed for 25% of the sessions and averaged 90% with a range of 84% to 98%. The procedure was also found to be socially valid by the teacher, student, and peer who participated.
