Summary

While BCBAs are all about identifying the functions of behavior, that doesn’t mean that we have a monopoly on the subject. This week, we review how related fields have been addressing problem behaviors that many behavior analysts haven’t even dreamed of: Non-suicidal self-injury and an update to assessing school avoidance problems. Do these assessments get the job done? Or are we missing an opportunity to meaningfully collaborate to support treatment in these areas?

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
