Training:

To help the intern achieve the proposed learning outcomes, we will use Behavior Skills Training methods. Interns will be taught the skills, the skills will be modeled, and then the intern will demonstrate the skill. Interns will be taught using computer-based learning modules and in-person hands on instruction. Interns will observe ABA sessions where skills will be modeled by RBTs and Case Supervisors. Interns will practice the skills during supervised ABA sessions directly with the client they are working with.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the internship, the student will be able to identify the functions of human behavior, identify and analyze antecedents and consequences as it relates to behaviors, run individual program goals (in the areas of communication, self-care, socialization, etc.) with clients(s), and collect a variety of data: frequency, rate, duration, ABC, and interval recording.
