Overview
Students will acquire practical skills congruent with the current BACB Edition Task List, and subsequently the Fifth Edition Task List when the taught modules are updated based on the updated professional standards. Students may work across a range of settings, but cannot find their own placements (i.e., they must be evaluated and approved by the MO / Course Director). Students will be required to complete all practicum documentation including placement agreements, supervision records, and the log book. There is a practicum manual in which all requirements are detailed. Students submit a portfolio of their clinical work for assessment that demonstrates competency in a range of core behaviour analytic skills (all identified competencies evidenced to pass the practicum). Additionally, students must evidence and demonstrate competencies in-situ that are observed and approved by their university supervisor.
Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate competency in essential behaviour analytic practical skills from the BACB Fourth Edition Task List.
- Describe behavioural terms and concepts in both every-day and technical language.
- Describe methods derived from the behaviour analytic literature to produce behaviour change (i.e., demonstrate mastery of all knowledge items from the current BACB Edition Task List) and critically analyse their use in applied settings.
- Use methods derived from the behaviour analytic literature to produce behaviour change (both increases and decreases in behaviour) and synthesise the methods to develop and apply socially significant programmes.
