Students examine how behavior, learning, and communication interact in real-world environments and learn to observe, describe, and interpret behavior using introductory data collection tools and evidence-based supports. Emphasis is placed on reinforcement, prompting, skill development strategies, ethical practice, and collaboration among educators, psychologists, and families. A minimum of 10 hours of structured field observation in an autism-serving classroom, school, community center, adult school, or other community-based organization is required. Transfer Credit: CSU
