Description

This course builds on student s prior knowledge of basic concepts and principles of ABA and promotes a deeper understanding of the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of these principles through critical reflection and analysis. Students will be challenged to critically analyze various elements of ABA concepts and principles and distinguish between them. Additionally, students will explore advanced behavior change procedures (e.g., verbal behavior, self-management strategies, extinction) and their relative risks and benefits in the school context. Finally, students will apply their understanding of behavior change procedures using role plays, simulations, and practice activities.
