Applied behavior analysis is the science of human learning. It is a scientific and evidence-based approach that helps students with disabilities learn and develop skills to manage behaviors that are socially significant for the student. Like the field of education in general, the field of applied behavior analysis continues to grow and refine its assessment and intervention practices. Additionally, there are sometimes misconceptions and criticisms of behavior analytic goals and practices, some of this based on the history of applied behavior analysis. This workshop will discuss current behavior analytic practices that strive to be trauma-informed, culturally responsive, neurodivergent affirming, and individually focused.
