ED PS 4000 - Fundamentals of Behavior Change II

The purpose of this course is to expand students’ understanding of behavior analysis and their ability to apply behavior analysis to case studies and practical situations. The course assumes that students enter with a strong understanding of basic concepts of behavior analysis and that they have experience applying these concepts to practical educational or clinical problems through role-plays conducted in the Fundamentals of Behavior I. Given this background, the course is designed to deepen students’ understanding of the functional analysis of behavior as an application of the behavior approach and as a set of practical methods for solving behavioral problems. This course further provides a theoretical and clinical framework for addressing multiculturalism and diversity in the field of applied behavior analysis.
