Any student who has a documented disability should contact the instructor privately during the first week of class. Your instructor is very willing to adapt instruction as is needed due to the disability. Case studies are read, discussed, and used for anecdotal reports. The behavior change project requires collecting observational data and interventions in natural settings. In their projects, students analyze their strengths and weaknesses in using applied behavior analysis.

Students plan their interventions and time required for each phase of the research. Data for project is graphed and reported using computers. Concepts basic to effective teaming will be taught and opportunities to work in teams include class time for answering study questions and carrying out the ABA project.
