This course counts as 3 Ethics-type CEUs toward recertification with the BACB, QABA, or IBAO.
Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) is a treatment approach that can be seamlessly integrated into ABA practice. This approach prioritizes physical and psychological safety, meaningful relationships, and long-term outcomes. Following a brief overview of TIC, the course examines Rajaraman et al. (2022), a pioneering article regarding TIC published in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis. The authors outline four commitments of a trauma-informed ABA practice. These commitments are explored further through practical applications and research citations, enabling clinicians to effectively incorporate them into their services. Downloadable references and resources are also included.
Target Audience: Behavior analysts and assistant behavior analysts
