ABA 603 Applied Behavior Analysis Internship III

Fall-Spring, Summer Semesters

This course provides an opportunity for candidates to gain supervised experience in the field of applied behavior analysis by working closely with a BCBA in the community. This supervised experience is required for candidates who wish to become eligible to sit for the BCBA exam. Candidates will, where appropriate, conduct the internship in their professional work in education and/or mental health settings. In cases, where this is not possible, candidates will be placed at a local mental health agency to conduct this supervised internship. Candidates will receive both individual and group supervision by a credentialed BCBA as they work with clients, design and execute behavior management plans, and carry out behavioral assessments. Candidates who successfully complete this course and the accompanying internship will be awarded up to 500 clock-hours of supervised BCBA fieldwork. M.Ed. - Applied Behavior Analysis majors only. 2 credit hours
