If you are responsible for conducting functional behavior assessments and developing behavior intervention plans and have received prior training in applied behavior analysis and/or functional behavior assessment, this learning opportunity is for you!
This course will focus on the design and development of quality functional behavioral assessments (FBA) and subsequent behavior intervention plans (BIP) to address the needs of children and youth who display inappropriate or challenging behaviors. Participants will use a best practices FBA/BIP rubric to evaluate and design behavior definitions and hypothesis statements as part of the FBA process. They will also use the rubric to evaluate and design components of BIPs. Participants will also get hands-on practice collecting data on problem behavior, selecting an appropriate replacement behavior, and selecting antecedent and consequence strategies matched to function.
Target Audiences: Early childhood consultants, school psychologists, school social workers, special education consultants, special education teachers, behavior interventionists
