Clinical
placements provide the student an opportunity to develop, write, and
implement behavior plans for persons suffering from mental illness,
traumatic brain injury, or dementia. The Behavioral Consultation Group
has placed students in facilities in the local Carbondale area and the
surrounding region.
Students often conduct functional analyses and preference assessments,
and then develop interventions including noncontingent reinforcement,
functional communication training, delayed reinforcement choice
paradigms, and differential reinforcement of other behaviors. Training
on computerized data collection and analysis is also provided. CURRENT RESEARCH: |
