Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Education

Description:

Working or consulting in classrooms requires taking the scientific principles of human behavior and applying those principles to the socialization of children at risk for or with delinquency, conduct problems (such as those with serious emotional disturbance and social maladjustment- i.e., conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and attention deficit disorder), developmental and other disabilities. This course analyzes the basic process of behavior change. Topics to be covered are: basic principles of behavior analysis (reinforcement, schedules of reinforcement, punishment, motivating operations, stimulus control, imitation, shaping, chaining, extinction, differential reinforcement); behavioral assessment including functional analysis and behavior chain analysis; the application of those principles to children's behavior; intervention methodologies such as verbal behavior contingency management; development of behavioral objectives to build self control; programming for generalization; and working with parents and paraprofessionals to implement behaviorally-based treatments. Special attention is paid to comprehensive programming and the use of multiple intervention methods. Upon satisfactory completion of this course, the student will functionally analyze social behavior deficits and excesses of children and youth. In addition, students will design behavioral intervention plans based on functional behavioral assessments. Prerequisites: Satisfactory completion of ABA I and ABA II (B- or better).
