ED 683 Applied Behavior Analysis IV: Behavior Analysis of Child Development

(3 credits)
Conceptualization of behavioral problems and the origins of behavioral disorders are critical to treatment and to the functioning of people through the lifespan. This course focuses on basic principles in Behavior Analysis and how they shape the development of typical and atypical children. The role of these principles in normal development and developmental problems such as language delays, motor developmental delays, conduct and oppositional defiant disorder, childhood depression, problems of attachment, and autism are explored. The course reviews field applications including direct observations of children’s development; functional behavioral assessment; curriculum design; verbal behavior assessment and intervention; curriculum based-measures; and intervention strategies that involve both the school and the family.

Prerequisite: Admission to the program and satisfactory completion of Applied Behavior Analysis I, II and III with a “B” or better.
