PSYC 540 - Applied Behav Analysi in Multi

Institution:

Millersville University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Psychology

Description:

Student behavior, both behavioral and academic, is a function of school, classroom, and individual factors. This course will focus on the impact of behavioral interventions delivered using multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) and positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) frameworks. Applied behavioral analysis will be thoroughly covered. Students will conduct single subject design research to determine the effectiveness of empirically based interventions on a child's behavior. School-wide behavior supports, as well as classroom management strategies, which impact on student discipline, will also be reviewed. Classroom behaviors will be examined within the context of the culture of the school and the community in which the school resides. This course is geared towards educators who consult with school personnel to solve educational problems, e.g., school psychologists and school counselors. The content will be useful, however, for professionals who work to increase functional behaviors in their clients.
