Fieldwork Project in Applied Behavior Analysis

During this course students will develop and implement an Applied Behavior Analysis skill acquisition project. This project may be an extension of the project conducted in 730.05/.06 or an entirely new project. The project requires selecting a socially significant target behavior, developing a measurement system, implementing a technological procedure within a single-subject research design, and writing an APA-style manuscript regarding the applied project. Class time will be spent problem solving all aspects of applied projects and developing professional skills. Students are required to attend an Applied Behavior Analysis fieldwork site for at least 9 hours per week for the semester (144 total hours). This course is open to all matriculated MA students in the Applied Behavior Analysis Program, for whom the courses are required. Enrollment is limited. All other students must obtain special permission from the head of the ABA MA Program.
