In this course students will expand their understanding of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) by learning how to design and evaluate behaviorally-based programs that address adaptive (e.g., self-care), communication (e.g., naturalistic strategies; verbal behavior), social (e.g., initiations), and other related skills (e.g., self-management) in persons with or at-risk for disabilities. Also, students will receive instruction on coaching and training adults.

This course examines factors that contribute to the reliable and valid measurement and diagnosis of students with mild disabilities. Emphasis is placed on evaluating standardized, norm-referenced instruments according to their technical characteristics and merits, developing curriculum-based measures for classroom use, and critiquing emerging systems of determining eligibility for special education. Prerequisites (s): EDS 528 or consent of instructor.

This course is designed to teach educators and behavior analysts to problem solve using the technology of applied behavior analysis. It is intended to equip students with the skills necessary to evaluate and intervene on behalf of individuals who exhibit severe behavior problems, including the functional analysis of a child's behavior. The course operates on the assumption that all behavior is learned, that all behavior is purposeful, and that all behavior is amenable to change.
