Course Description – ABA Strategies to Overcome Problematic Behavior
The principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) are often used to increase desired behaviors and decrease problem behavior. This presentation discusses basic principles of behavior, the ABCs of behavior and the functions of behavior. The course will provide support strategies for clinicians to use to facilitate better therapeutic outcomes in treatment when behaviors are present in the client and to educate as to when a referral for additional behavioral support services is appropriate.
