Behavior Assessment and Planning with Evidence-Based Interventions

A Handbook for Those Implementing Behavioral Programs

This coursework is designed to provide a comprehensive, in-depth understanding of how to use functional behavior assessment and positive behavioral intervention planning to decrease interfering behaviors and teach new skills. Evidence-based interventions are presented with videos of expert interviews, perspectives from people on the autism spectrum, and case examples in homes, schools, work sites, and the community.

Pick the 40-hour course that best suits the population you work with or support, whether Toddler and Preschool Age (for young children through kindergarten), School Age (for elementary and middle school students), or Transition Age (for high school students and young adults in transition).

This training program is based on the Registered Behavior Technician Task List and is designed to meet the 40-hour training requirement for the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) credential. The program is offered independent of the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). To learn more about the credential, and ensure you are able to meet the timelines and other specifications of the BACB, visit the BACB website at https://www.bacb.com/rbt/.
