ED 688 - Behavior Analysis Internships II

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Education

Description:

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and its subspecialty Clinical Behavior Analysis (CBA) are best learned and understood by getting hands-on experience. This hands-on experience is obtained through the internship. While on internship, this course allows for students to meet with their University supervisor to shape their ethical development and understanding of customary practices of the profession. Thus, each student is to be in a field internship and meeting at least 0.5 hours/week with field supervisor. This course meets for 1.5 hours/week on campus. Internships can take place in most community organizations. The field supervisor should have experience in behavior analysis and therapy. Field experiences that offer a diverse range of populations to work with are preferred to those with a single population. This course covers advance use of the principles and procedures of behavior therapy as a clinical intervention approach. This course focuses on practice in specific techniques, as well as an ethical overview of practice. 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.
