Students in this course will learn the effective use of behavioral assessment and intervention in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner in inclusive and special education classrooms. Students will learn to administer and interpret the results of a functional behavioral assessment. They will also learn to use these results to identify, design, implement, and evaluate interventions (i.e. behavior support plans), including monitoring progress and ensuring maintenance and generalization across settings. Emphasis will be placed on individualized behavior support systems and the use of behavior management principles through the frameworks of applied behavior analysis (ABA), positive behavior supports (PBS), and practices with an evidence-base from peer-reviewed research. Additionally, students will understand the supporting roles of other disciplines and professionals, including the importance of collaboration with parents to meet the unique needs of the student in the least restrictive environment.
