ABA 501 - Collaboration in Childhood Clinical Disorders

Interventions for children with challenging behaviors require collaboration across different disciplines. Nearly all children with extremely challenging behaviors receive services from a combination of providers, including teachers, BCBAs, social workers, psychologists and/or psychiatrists, and others. In this course, students will learn how to work effectively in a trans-disciplinary model, develop joint goals with professions from multiple disciplines, and effectively work as a member of a collaborative team. Students will learn to evaluate the quality of evidence for any approach and sort through the numerous claims of treatments that parents and professionals must navigate.
