ABA 503 - Collaboration in Mental Health Settings

Interventions for individuals with mental health disorders can be challenging because of the required collaboration across many different disciplines. While behavior analysis began in mental health settings, the number of BCBAs currently working in these settings is extremely limited, making collaboration even more challenging in these settings. This course will give students the tools they need to collaborate with a variety of professionals, in a setting that is not always welcoming to behavior analysts. 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.
