PYI-5500: Positive Behavioral Support in ASD

This course will explore the perspectives, values, and components that define Positive Behavior Support including the comprehensive set of procedures that enhance a student’s access to typical learning opportunities and meaningful social interactions. Drawing from a broad range of current research in this field, participants will explore multiple interventions and support strategies utilizing a case-study approach that incorporates an understanding of the effect of context, sensory needs, communication challenges, and learning styles on a child’s behavior. Case studies that are discussed will be generated by both the instructor as well as by course participants and will be representative of children and youth across the spectrum. A portion of this class will be devoted to supervision of students’ final projects demonstrating cumulative knowledge gained from the ASD program. Topics to be covered will include: PBS: Something old, Something new, Something borrowed: A marriage of history and current research; The Link Between Behavior and Context: Using Functional Behavior Assessment to better understand the circumstances that influence and maintain problem behavior; The Impact of Sensory, Social, and Communication Challenges on Learning and Participation; Modifying Environments, Adapting Instruction, and Teaching New Skills: Building Positive Behavior Support Plans that Work; Using a Team Model that Build’s the Capacity to Provide Positive Behavior Support in Schools. Prereading will be assigned.
