Catalog description

Students are presented with methods used to prevent and treat behavior problems in children who are at risk or who have existing developmental disabilities. Emphasis is on the applied behavior analysis and functional analysis approaches to modifying behavior. Curricular approaches to controlling severe behavior problems are explored within applied behavior analysis/functional analysis frameworks. The subject matter is of strong concern for graduate students in special education and for teachers whose students include children with disabilities.
