This doctoral seminar provides training in knowledge and skills pertaining to best practices in conducting functional behavioral assessment and using the results of assessments to design individually tailored function-based interventions. This course will emphasize the application of a behavior analytic problem solving approach to address a wide range of referral concerns (e.g., self-injurious, aggressive, stereotypic, destructive oppositional, and other forms of interfering behaviors) with a focus on developing strategies that minimize interfering behaviors and maximize prosocial replacement behaviors. This course will also include practice in report writing and in developing procedures for documenting the effectiveness of interventions.
