SE 901 - Applied Behavioral Programming (3.00 cr.)
Prerequisite: SE 913 . Provides a thorough foundation in applied behavior analysis (ABA) and positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) for use by special educators or behavioral specialists. Presents behavioral definition and measurement procedures, prompting and reinforcement strategies, systematic behavior change methods, and school-wide behavior support processes. Students use functional behavior assessment methods to assess and discover the function of a child's problem behavior; modify environments to reduce or prevent problem behavior; implement positive behavioral interventions; and program functional alternatives for home, school, or community settings. Students need regular access to an environment in which they can conduct a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and develop and implement a behavior intervention plan (BIP).
