Behaviors related to fear are not uncommon. Most behavior analysts have seen a client at some point who responded to a context or stimulus with escape-maintained behaviors that could not be explained with operant learning histories. However, most graduate training programs and fieldwork experience do not cover the treatment of these behaviors. This course provides ABA research on fear-related behavior, with an emphasis on application and treatment planning.
This course is 4 Ethics-type CEUs and is designed to take 3 hours and 20 minutes.
If more time is needed, an additional reading is provided at the end of the course. Users are asked to verify their time spent in the survey at the end of the course. Please be sure to complete this survey.
