Description

The focus of this course is on applied behaviour analysis, and how it is accomplished through the use of functional behavioural assessment and skills training.

The course will address models, theories, and philosophies that form the basis of sound inclusive educational and behavioural practice. The course focuses on assessing behaviour, teaching new skills, and managing behaviour, both academic and social. Strengths and weaknesses of common school practices for controlling students’ inappropriate behaviour will be discussed. Strategies for promoting prosocial behaviour will be described.

Students will practice collecting and analysing data in order to write behavioural intervention plans. They will also use the knowledge gained in the course to design and implement a social skills training lesson.
