    Discussion Prompt: Case Study on Function of Behavior

    After reading the assigned section of Miltenberger (2016) Chapter 13 on Functional Behavior Assessment (pp. 243-257), read the following scenario and respond to the questions:
    Joe has been working in customer service for a cellular networking company for four years. Recently, he has experienced great difficulty on the job. When dealing with a challenging or frustrating team meeting, Joe often exits the room in an emotionally escalated state. He has made complaints to his supervisor about three fellow employees and has threatened to start a lawsuit if the company does not act on his requests to reprimand them or adjust his assignments. Colleagues have started to avoid Joe, not wanting to get on his bad side. Joe has now been excused from team meetings for the foreseeable future and can read the agenda if he has questions about anything he may have missed.
    Based on this scenario, use your knowledge of functional behavior assessment to answer the following questions:
    • What do you hypothesize is the function of Joes behavior (Miltenberger, 2016, pp. 247-248), and what specific pieces of evidence support your hypothesis?
    • What would be an appropriate replacement behavior (something Joe could do instead of the behavior he is currently demonstrating)?
    • What supports could the employer implement to help Joe identify and practice this replacement behavior?
    • If you could provide one Bible verse or passage to Joe to support him in changing this situation, which would you select and why?
    Compare and contrast your thoughts with the ideas shared by others. Be sure to cite the text (Miltenberger, 2016) using APA format as you discuss this scenario.
