The practical functional assessment and skill-based treatment process emphasizes safety and social acceptability and has demonstrated strong effectiveness across a wide range of severe problem behaviors. The process has been refined to prevent escalation while replacement repertoires are taught within the challenging contexts most associated with problem behavior. Participants will learn to conduct interviews to identify synthesized reinforcement contingencies, design and implement efficient and safe analyses, develop skill-based treatments that build social and leisure repertoires, and train others to implement interventions during all-day treatment transitions.

Participants will develop skills to improve the efficiency and usefulness of functional assessments, identify tactics that promote safe and dignified analyses, describe open-door analyses, and justify the use of synthesized reinforcement contingencies. Learners will gain competencies in selecting and shaping functional communication responses, teaching tolerance to delays and denials, implementing enhanced choice treatment models, shaping contextually appropriate behavior chains, transferring treatment effects across settings, and implementing the assessment and treatment processes within their own organizations.
The course consists of 13 chapters, each containing a video followed by a quiz. Progress within videos is not saved, so learners are encouraged to record timestamps before exiting. Quizzes may include multiple-selection questions and require 100% accuracy to proceed. Upon successful completion, participants will receive a certificate of completion for 10 BACB learning-type CEUs (8 General, 1 Ethics, 1 Supervision), a reference list, and a feedback survey. Learners are also encouraged to review the downloadable materials available before beginning the first chapter.
