This workshop provides training both in conducting a
functional assessment (e.g., Iwata, 1996), and in
some broader perspectives of behavior treatment.
The trainers will provide explanations of the
inter-related nature of each learner’s repertoires,
and how this affects programming for the treatment
of any particular problem behavior. In many
cases, addressing deficits in cooperation, social
interest, manding (requesting) an increased number
of items or activities, manding attention, tolerance
for delays, or independent leisure can preclude the
need to conduct a functional assessment.
Participants will learn to:
●
Formulate operational definitions of target
behaviors
●
Measure behaviors
●
Determine the functions of problem behaviors
●
Select appropriate interventions
