(3 credits)
 

See Addenda  for changes to this course, effective Spring 2018.

This course will focus on the background, basic principles and techniques necessary for effective development of behavior with special needs students. Emphasis will be placed on behavioral procedures that have been found effective for individual and classroom use, including the ability to systematically observe and record student behavior. Other interventions and their applications to special education settings will also be considered. Introductory background information in special education is beneficial to succeed in this course.
