Course Description

Problem behaviours are common when working with children, particularly in Applied Behaviour Analysis. As clinicians, we understand that learners use problem behaviours as a form of communication and tend to repeat behaviours that have been reinforced. Our goal is to teach more appropriate replacement behaviours.

This course focuses on deconstructing replacement behaviours - teaching functionally equivalent but more socially appropriate alternatives to observed problem behaviours. We will explore:

What replacement behaviours are
Why we should teach them
How to teach them safely and respectfully, building rapport and trust with clients
