BEHV 5029 - Autism II: Applied Behavior Analysis Research and Practice
3 hours Describes research and practice associated with the scientist-practitioner model of applied behavior analysis intervention for young children with autism. Students conduct comprehensive reviews of experimental literature in the three critical areas of autism intervention and learn to evaluate this literature according to accepted rules of scientific evidence. Students propose and implement an intervention that addresses at least one experimental question and extends existing scientist/practitioner literature. Students complete projects that translate research findings to practice.
