Behavioral Theory

In this foundation course, students will investigate theories and learn principles of behaviour and behaviour support that help in understanding why children and adolescents behave as they do and how different interventions may influence behaviour. Students will learn how to determine individual differences and patterns of behaviour through functional behaviour assessment. With this understanding students will articulate an initial framework for their philosophy and approach to behaviour of typical children and children with special needs.

Registration in this course is restricted to students admitted to the Certificate in Education Assistant.
