Contemporary Applied Behaviour Analysis (C-ABA) Day 2 of 5
ABA is a research-based approach to understanding behaviour. The ABA approach involves breaking skills into their component parts, sequentially teaching them, and providing opportunities for children to generalize their skills across environments.
The course is designed to teach the skills necessary for the design, implementation, and evaluation of behaviour management programs for use with individuals with mild, moderate, or intensive needs in a variety of settings. Behaviour management programmes focus on both the elimination of problem behaviours and the acquisition and maintenance of replacement skills.
Course Content
As part of the learning on this course, participants get the opportunity to experiment with changing one of their own behaviours and reflecting on this. Also, participants complete two behaviour change projects with children in their case loads. These assignments are very clearly described in the course with models provided. Only the self-change project is completed during the time frame of the course.
