A comprehensive review of the theory and practice of behavior management in applied settings. Emphasis will be placed on the development of entry-level competency in behavior analysis and treatment. This will include, but not be limited to, an introduction to the principles of behavior modification as well as the theories and techniques associated with the psychodynamic, biophysical, and environmental perspectives as they relate to the broad field of behavior management. Eighty percent of the classroom content and discussion will be identifying and targeting strategies applicable to the 0-8-year-old age group. Students learn three levels of classroom supports: Universal, Targeted, and Intensive. Classroom lecture is supported with evidence-based practice. Twenty-five hours of fieldwork are required in a classroom, servicing Part B and C of the Michigan special education requirements from Birth-8 years of age.
