The Good Behavior Game: Current Research and Applications

The Good Behavior Game (GBG) has received much attention from researchers in the last ten years. Demonstrations have examined the various components, versions, and qualitative outcomes of the GBG across educational settings. Applications to classrooms are most common but the flexibility of the GBG to adapt to various contexts presents a world of possibility for applications across settings, learners, and behaviors. This course examines the available research and translates the most applicable aspects of each study for clinical use. Downloadable resources, clinical applications, and a course reading packet for future reference are also provided.
