SPED 8035 - Supervision in Applied Behavioral Analysis

6 cr

This course is designed to allow students to gain the supervision hours required to sit for the exam to become Board Certified Behavior Analysts. It involves meetings in a small-group format, as well as individual on-site supervision of each student engaged in behavior analytic work in the field. Students are expected to read and lead discussion on behavior analytic literature, discuss terms and concepts of applied behavior analysis, engage in at least 10 hours per week of field-based behavior analytic work, and to prepare presentations and research articles detailing their application of behavior analytic strategies in the field. This course may be taken up to three times, as the field work experienced is a continuous process leading to eligibility for the BCBA certification exam and requires a minimum of 50 weeks to satisfy the BACB hours requirements.
