BEHV 5250: Applied Behavior Analysis and Autism III: Advanced Topics in Intervention

Michael A. Fabrizio, M.A., BCBA

General Course Information:

applied clinical intervention project page

To provide an integrative opportunity for you to put to use the skills you are learning in this course, you will be required to conduct and present a clinical intervention project. Specifically, you must:

1. Work with or supervise work with a child with autism (or another learner that you're interested in...)


2. Collect data across at least 10 sessions.


3. Teach the child new skill or improve a skill already existing in their repertoire.


4. Chart all of your student's performance data on a Standard Celeration Chart.


5. Present the charted performance data in class. During our last sessions together, you will present your charted performance data to your peers. You will need to prepare an overhead transparency of your student's charted performance data. You will place the overhead on the projector and begin explaining what the data show. You will have 6 minutes to present your chart. You should answer all of the questions on the Instructional Task Knowledge Assessment (Fabrizio & Moors, 1998) within the 6 minutes allotted.


6. Disseminate your work beyond the University. To facilitate your skills as a scientist-practioner, I will require that you submit the work you do in class either for publication or for presentation. While you may submit your work for publication wherever you would like, I recommend you consider submitting the work as a Chart Share to the Journal of Precision Teaching and Celeration. If you would rather not submit the work for publication, you may submit it for presentation at a behavior analytic conference instead. Conferences you might consider submitting to include the Association for Behavior Analysis annual conference or the Texas Association for Behavior Analysis annual conference.
