SPED 6382 - Intensive Interventions for Challenging Behaviors

This course builds from the foundational skills taught to students in Applications of Behavior Analysis in Special Education. Instruction centers on interventions for students with emotional and behavioral disorders across four primary areas: (a) school-wide systems of positive behavior supports, (b) evidenced based Tier-2 Interventions, (c) functional behavioral assessment (FBA), and (d) the design and implementation of individualized behavior interventions plans (BIP). This course aims to support the continued development of students’ knowledge base in applied behavior analysis and positive behavior supports. Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to identify the function of a student’s problem behavior and develop and appropriate intervention plan to support the child’s educational growth.
