PSYC 645 Data-Based Decision-Making

In this course, students will integrate prior coursework on instruction, assessment, intervention, and consultation with their practicum experiences. Students will develop advanced skills in applying data-based decision-making processes and behavioral consultation models to identify and analyze behaviors of concern, develop and implement appropriate interventions, collect data regarding the interventions’ effectiveness and acceptability, and to make decisions regarding the effectiveness of the intervention. Students will utilize data from their practicum (completed concurrently with this course). Case conceptualization and presentation skills will be practiced. Treatment integrity, intervention acceptability, and effect size data will be gathered and interpreted. Written and graphical data presentation will be reviewed.
