Decreasing Aberrant Behavior Part 1 Conceptual Underpinnings
Recorded in 2023
Current practice guidelines suggest that the assessment and treatment of challenging behavior should consist of conducting a functional behavior assessment following the onset of problem behavior. The purpose of this series of talks is to describe how functional assessment is conducted in a progressive behavior analytic approach, proactive strategies that can be used, and how to work with aberrant behavior reactively. Throughout the series, the speaker will outline how this approach will result in preventative treatment for individuals diagnosed with ASD. In the first part of the series the presenter will describe the conceptual underpinnings of aberrant behavior from the Autism Partnership Methods perspective.
