SPED 514 Behavioral Assessment and Interventions
Focus on the effective use of behavioral assessment and intervention in inclusive and special education classrooms. Students will learn to identify, analyze, implement, and evaluate interventions through the framework of positive behavior supports (PBS). Emphasis will be placed on developing evidence-based behavior intervention plans (BIPs) for students who exhibit challenging behaviors in schools by working through the Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) process. CT law requires fingerprinting and a criminal background check for the field experiences in this class. Fingerprinting must be completed prior to the beginning of class.
