SE 484 - Principles of Behavior Management for Special Education

(3.00 cr.)

Provides a foundation for behavior management, applied behavior analysis (ABA), and positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) for use by special educators or behavioral specialists. Students examine behavioral definitions and measurement procedures, prompting and reinforcement strategies, systematic behavior change methods, targeted interventions, and school-wide behavior support processes. Students use data from functional behavior assessment methods to 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 school settings.

This course is designed to explore best practices of effective classroom management and individual behavior intervention strategies. Emphasis is given to creating proactive learning environments through positive behavioral interventions and support. Discussions and review of Functional Behavioral Assessments and Behavior Intervention Plans are included.
