SPED 696 Capstone in Behavior Analysis
This is the culminating course in the M.Ed.-SPED program for the behavior specialist and is considered the capstone experience. Students will review behavioral analytic fundamentals and strategies that can be applied to increase socially valid behaviors and minimize problem behaviors. Topics introduced earlier in the program will be explored more extensively. Emphases are on demonstrating competencies with terms and content related to philosophical underpinnings, concepts, and principles of behavior analysis. Additionally, students will work in teams to complete a capstone research project that includes a manuscript and poster presentation.
