EDUC 559 - Teaching & Supporting Students with Autism and Other Behavioral Disorders
Serves the dual purpose of developing knowledge and skills needed to work with students with autism and other behavior disorders while teaching how to utilize comprehensive functional behavioral assessment (FBA) procedures to better understand and respond to challenging behaviors in home and school settings. In that the primary goal of an FBA is the development of behavioral interventions and teaching plans that stress the use of positive behavior support systems, students have the opportunity to “build” an individualized plan in a selected setting. Besides the targeting of physically disruptive behaviors, other applications of the FBA are considered to include social skill, expressive, attentional, and motivational deficits. The impact of sensory, mobility, and medical disabilities on behavior and learning is addressed. Environmental adaptations and assistive technology are also explored. Field experience required.
