EDUC 645 - Instruc Interventions/Methods

3 Credits

This course will cover a thorough analysis of instructional interventions for children/young adults in terms of strengths, limitations, and empirical-based evidence for children and young adults with ASD. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) will be explored in-depth and how it can serve some individuals with autism, with special attention given to classroom settings. Students will assess and structure the environmental supports to enable students with ASD to participate and progress in all environments and evaluate and proactively apply methods to reduce student motivation to engage in problem behavior, assess its effectiveness, and learn to teach functional equivalent positive behaviors.
