SMD 650 - Seminar in Supporting Students With Challenging Behavior in Inclusive Settings
This
course will focus on understanding the
educational support needs of
students with
challenging behaviors
(including students with
emotional disturbance,
behavior disorders, and
autism) whose behavior may
interfere with
learning. These students are often at risk
of being excluded from
inclusive settings. This
course will focus on the
development of a
positive, strength-based,
problem-solving
orientation to the needs of
students with
challenging behaviors. Students will collaborate
with educators, other service
providers, families,
and students themselves in
conducting a functional
behavior assessment (FBA) and
designing a
positive support plan. Support plans will be
designed to address strategies
to prevent
problems, to teach alternative
skills and self-
management, and to respond to
behavioral crisis.
Collaborating and consulting
with others in
supporting students with
challenging
behaviors will be
emphasized. 15 hours of
fieldwork required. Course offered once per year.
