Response to Intervention and Functional Behavior Assessment

Course Description

In this residency course, students practice application of the Response to Intervention (RTI) and Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) processes. Students build capacity to implement the RTI framework in local and state education agencies. Students also examine and practice skills related to the RTI components for screening students, monitoring student progress, providing evidence-based interventions, and identifying students with unique learning needs in a collaborative approach. Students practice identifying appropriate circumstances and steps for conducting a functional behavioral assessment (FBA), developing the behavior intervention plan (BIP) and identifying the individual components of an FBA and BIP. Additionally, students practice interpreting case study data and integrate and summarize this data, orally and in writing, to provide important feedback to school personnel about a student's challenging behaviors. Cannot be fulfilled by transfer. Prerequisite(s): PSY7234; PSY-R6000 or PSY-R7231.
