Case Study Analysis and Behavioral Assessment
Functional behavior assessment (FBA) plays an essential role in comprehending and
managing contradictory behaviors like those displayed by JuHu. It is a structured strategy to look
into antecedents, behaviors, consequences (ABCs) that lay behind actions. FBA utilizes a diverse
range of assessment approaches, ranging from indirect to descriptive and experimental, to offer a
more outlook (Chapel Hill, 2015). Students like JuHu may experience interferences with routine
activities due to the presence of disruptive behaviors. FBA diagnoses the source of these behaviors
as well as the triggers that may be eliciting them. FBA offers individual tracking of behavioral
characteristics which enables targeted interventions that promote better results. The aim is to
ultimately improve the quality of life.
The case of JuHu shows the dynamics of behavioural analysis through the Functional
Behavior Assessment (FBA) with a detailed examination of triggers that come from the
environment and their effects. FBA is a methodologically sound method by which to unscramble
the ABCs behind JuHe’s actions, uncovering the underlying complexities behind his disruptions
(Chapel Hill, 2015). Initially identified through indirect assessments such as caregiver interviews,
JuHu’s behaviors during morning routines and evening shower times are posited to serve dual
functions: firstly, centres of solitude and secondly as means of flight from duties and objects of
the material nature. Further descriptive assessments undertaken via direct observation tends to
cement these surmises through no-nonsense, concrete interpretation of JuHu’s behavioral
appearances. For example, a tantrum is defined as outbursts lasting more than 10 seconds while
shouting is manifested by audible screaming over a distance of 10 meters (Lohmann, 2022). The
experimental phase, relying upon IISCA, will adjust the investigation to the situation which is

JuHu-specific. Likewise, the lessons learned during this phase are critical, and they make it easier
to see the target behaviors in action under the controlled settings of the laboratory.
Antecedent-Based Strategies
Addressing the fact that JuHu exhibits difficult behaviors requires tackling the situation in
a systemic and smart way, with antecedent-based strategies in mind. Through the case study of
how the JuHu ended up with several behavioral issues, we arrived at the only working strategy,
and that was the antecedent-based approach; the cornerstone of intervention. Reinforcing the
concept of ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is the core objective of the approach, which
classifies elimination of environment triggers responsible for the behaviours that JuHu found
disruptive, therefore, allowing him to reshape his responses (Choi et al., 2022). The vital
bifunctional behaviors of JuHu, in which the escape of demands and access to objects are dynamic,
indicate the utmost need for his environmental modulation beforehand.
Both theoretical foundations and scientific evidence point out the efficacy of visual
outcomes-oriented routines as it is a disciplined paradigm of antecedent based intervention. There
is scientific evidence that identifying the previous stimulus is crucial and highlights expertise in
showing visual representations and clear demonstrations (Tyner & Fienup, 2016). Another thing
like this is the focus on treatment integrity which means that the consistent approach to
implementation of interventions (Collier-Meek et al., 2017) is what really brings about the
required.
Furthermore, function-related considerations are embedded in the creative intervention
framework, and as a result, these points demonstrate the in-depth understanding of the operational
actions that lead to their behavior modifications (Tyner & Fienup, 2016). The designed
intervention will do so by making the environment friendlier to them. They would be done by both

removing triggers that might cause the JuHu to feel distressed and introducing components of
choice and preference to a structured routine (Choi et al., 2022).By way of this innovative blend
of theory, empirical/scientific evidence and function-based ideas, the intervention hopes to
pinpoint a meaningful and effective way by which the community can change for the better for
JuHu.
Replacement Behavior and Replacement-Based Strategies
The compensation behavior that JuHu’s communication and social initiation barriers
utilizes the communication board with visual cues as a communication tool. Through the use of an
alternative behavior, JuHu reaches this purpose in the sense of is comforting being exposed directly
to the need and in the ability of effective interaction which leads to the fulfilling of the underlying
functions that are found in his problem behavior (Wolfenden et al., 2020). The approach aims at
integrating of optical communication system outfitted with pictures and graphics while considering
the criteria of Human Compassion Code and conceiving meaning.
To teach and reinforce the replacement behavior effectively, staff should follow a
structured plan:
Introduction of Communication Board: Staff members will need to take charge of showing
JuHu the communication board, explaining its purpose and demonstrating how to use it. During
the beginning of the process, great care must be taken to be empathic and encouraging, which will
mirror the atmosphere and induce the work of the board opposite to force.
Training and Practice Sessions: Organize regular trainings and practice runs to make JuHu
familiar with the communication board and its symbols as part of a routine. Staff must remain
available to JuHu to assist and supervise as he comes along with the board, for he will need to
enlarge independence in due course.

Reinforcement: Positive reinforcement is the pivotal issue in the proliferation of the replacement
behavior. Employees should give their JuHu positive feedback and even reward him with small
gifts, whenever he uses the communication board correctly to phrase the needs or desires. The
reinforcement may be in the form of verbal praise, tokens or access to better and enjoyable action
(Kaplan & Gourevitch, 2020)again making the physical connection between using the board and
better perks.
To ensure the maintenance of the replacement behavior, staff should implement the
following steps:
Consistency: Consistency will be the key factor by consistently bringing up the use of the
communication board different settings over different times and occasions. The higher the
consistency of rewards, these associations are strengthened, increasing consequently the
probability of continued interest of using the board.
Monitoring and Support: Provide frequent checks of JuHu’s usage of the communication school
and render continuous assistance in the event of the need (Collier-Meek et al., 2017). Provide JuHi
with the encouragement and means of tackling possible impediments and barriers that might be
obstacles in adapting or learning to use the Procrastination Board.
Adjustment and Adaptation: Because JuHu is a special child, it is necessary to constantly
monitor the communication board, and available reinforcement strategies and adjust them
regarding his progress and needs. These plastic changes could involve picturing new members,
altering reinforcement and including more tactile training to allow JuHu to learn communication
skills effectively.
Consequence-Based Strategies

Concerning the JuHuÂ’s problematic behaviors, Differential Reinforcement of Alternative
Behavior(DRA) is the best available strategy to use (Vollmer et al., 2020). The application it is to
make use of a redirection method which will transform the JuHu behaviour to the socially
acceptable alternatives, at the same time will immediately recognize such behaviour with positive
reinforcement.By consistently reinforcing the desired behaviors and ignoring the target behaviors,
staff members can effectively shape JuHu’s behavior over time (MacNaul & Neely,
2018). Furthermore, ongoing monitoring and adjustment of reinforcement strategies depended on
HuaHa’s progress are key elements to ensure the efficiency of the method and long-term behavioral
achievement.
The DRA helps staff members not redirect JuHu’s misbehaving towards more appropriate
replaces. This is done in order to have more positive behavioral results than punishe Staff can
provide immediate positive reinforcement, as well as consistently with reinforcing alternative
behaviors, which in turn lead to the acquisition of socially conforming behaviors by JuHu
(MacNaul & Neely, 2018). Ongoing monitoring and adaptability of reinforcement strategies
makes it possible for the staff to develop interventions specific to JuH’s immediate needs, and
therefore promotes long-term behavioral success, culminating in better development for JuHu
itself.
Capella Compassion Code Considerations
In implementing strategic plans based on the Capella Compassion Code, it is of utmost
importance that the interventions be tailored to the JuHu’s unique needs and preferences. Adjusting
the intervention to address JuHu’s specific needs provides an opportunity for such programs to be
as effective as possible and creates a sense among him that they understand and thus treat him with
respect. We should therefore also administer positive reinforcement to the people by keeping it all

supportive. The importance of doing this is because itÂ’s one of the ways to ensure that the bedrock
for compassion and empathy is protected. Staff should express sincere praise and inspire good
behavior while constantly acknowledging that JuHu’s efforts are being rewarded, creating a
positive comfortable environment aimed at fostering a productive growth and development
process.
On the other hand, proper training of the staff who would be implementing interventions
with compassion and tact is likewise essential in ensuring the effective and successful conduct of
behavioral techniques. Training of staff members to enhance ability to interact with the lost boy in
an empathic way helps a lot with the goal of successfully catering for his needs (Tarbox et al.,
2022). A broad training program can be utilized in helping the staff to handle the cases with an
empathetic approach, understanding and patience so that a better, proximate and a positive
environment can be created for rehabilitation of the JuHu’s behavioural growth and well-being.
