How does the concept of habilitation help the behavior analyst determine which behavior should be targeted for behavior change?
What will be an ideal response?
Habilitation is the degree to which a client's repertoire maximizes short and long term reinforcers and minimizes short and long term punishers for that person and for others. Behavior analysts can use this principle to guide the selection of target behavior by prioritizing behavior that will increase a client's access to reinforcers and decrease their exposure to punishers. The behavior analyst must try to identify behavior that will be the most useful to the client.
