This course provides graduate students knowledge in the application of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that can be utilized with children and adolescents in school, home, and family settings. Various approaches and techniques are presented along with supporting research. Observation and participation in clinical cases may be arranged. Prerequisite(s)/Corequisite(s): Permission of instructor. Not open to non-degree graduate students.

This course uses applications of research methodology that involve direct observation and single-subject designs to identify evidence-based practices that address clinical problems experienced by individuals across a variety of settings. Topics covered include behavioral assessment techniques, graphing data, single subject experimental designs, and consumer satisfaction with interventions. Prerequisite(s)/Corequisite(s): Must be admitted to a graduate level PSYC program or permission of instructor.
