ED 687 - Behavior Analysis Internship I

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Education

Description:

This course is designed to be a guiding course while the student is on their selected internship. It meets on campus for 1.5 hours/week. The purpose of the course is to help student move information learned in coursework from theory to practice. Focus will be spent on case development- conducting functional behavioral assessment and using the assessment to create a competing behaviors model. From the competing behaviors model, students will brain storm interventions to address: setting events (including motivating variables, history effects, ecological variables, and deficits in the current repertoire), antecedent variables (trigger control methods, fading antecedents, etc), pre-current behavior (overcoming sequential effects, disrupting behavior chains, problem solving skills training etc.), behavior (task analyzing alternative behavior, methods for chaining, instructing and shaping new behavior), and consequence interventions (contingency management, interventions based on the function of behavior). The student should be working 20hrs/week at their selected and approved internship site and receiving at least 0.5 hours of onsite supervision by the field behavior analyst, while registered for this course. Students need to complete 300 hours at their site by the end of this course. Half the grade for the course is presented by the field supervisor.
