CEU Course Description

When a functional analysis indicates the consequences that maintain an individual’s challenging behavior, the behavior analyst can then alter those consequences in such a manner as to decrease the occurrence of the challenging behavior and increase a more appropriate and alternative response.  There are several procedures that are based on either reinforcement or punishment that are effective for use in the treatment of challenging behaviors.  Therefore, it is necessary that a behavior analyst determine the consequences that are maintaining a challenging behavior and select an appropriate intervention for use as a treatment option.  A behavior analyst will need to be able to determine whether function-based reinforcement or punishment procedure is necessary to integrate into treatment based on the challenging behavior that is being exhibited.  Therefore, it is necessary that a behavior analyst be informed of treatment options available to them and the items that should be considered when selecting a procedure for implementation.   In this course, participants will learn to (1) identify different function-based reinforcement procedures for use with challenging behaviors, (2) identify different function-based punishment procedures for use with challenging behaviors, and (3) discuss how function-based procedures should be selected for implementation.
