| Description: This full-day workshop will provide participants with training to implement a consultative service delivery model for the assessment and treatment of severe problem behavior in school settings. The Behavior Analytic Consultation to Schools (BACS) model provides behavior analysts with a best-practice blueprint for assessing and treating severe problem behavior in school settings. As a service delivery model for severe behavioral consultation, BACS includes eight components: (a) functional behavioral assessment (FBA), (b) functional analysis, (c) treatment selection, (d) treatment evaluation, (e) teacher training, (f) evaluation of the teacher-implemented treatment, (g) generalization evaluations, and (h) assessment of social validity issues. Participants will be instructed on all eight components of the BACS model through the presentation of 2 case studies which demonstrate the efficacy of the model in school settings. |
