Intensive Interventions for Students with Severe and Persistent Behavior Difficulties

3 credits · Peabody College - Professional

Students with disabilities who have severe and persistent academic and behavior difficulties require intensive intervention to meet their individualized education program goals. Given many of these students have co-occurring academic and behavior support needs, the primary purpose of this course is to teach candidates how to provide intensive behavioral supports in the context of academic instruction in educational settings. Course content includes methods of conducting functional behavior assessments and function-based interventions and implementation of data-based individualization (DBI) to appropriately individualize supports for these students.
