  • SPED 664: Issues in the Behavioral Treatment of Autism

    3.00 Credits
    Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania

    This course has been designed to provide advanced students and professionals with perspectives and commentaries on issues related to the behavioral treatment of autism. The course is not designed to teach the students techniques in the behavioral treatment of autism but, rather, to provide a professional context for understanding some of the history, content, and complexities of behavioral interventions. A majority of the information presented and discussed falls under the umbrella of the scientific discipline of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Students will benefit most from the course if they have had training and experience in behavior analysis. This course is divided into three sections 1) Understanding the treatment of autism and scientific evidence, 2) Designing autism interventions across the lifespan, and 3) Creating systems that support successful interventions in autism.

  • SPED 665: Research in ABA

    3.00 Credits
    Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania

    Single subject design methodology has developed primarily within the field of behavior analysis but has wider application beyond that theoretical orientation. It represents an intervention-oriented methodology that is idiographic in nature, requires frequent measurement of the dependent variable, and employs replications within and across participants. In addition, single subject design studies frequently use direct observational methodology as the dependent variable. In this course, we will begin with an overview of single subject design research methods and their application within special education. We will next examine methods of behavioral assessment and techniques for conducting observational research. A variety of single subject research designs will be examined, with the strengths and weakness of eachidentified. Issues related to treatment fidelity, social validity, and ethical use of single subject research methodology will be discussed.
