Objectives
This program is designed for students interested in working with clients challenged by moderate-to-severe behavioural difficulties. Students will learn about the Functional Analysis frameworks and practical techniques required for dealing effectively with child, adolescent and adult clients, many of whom have a diagnosis of developmental disability or learning disorder. Analysing and understanding the reasons for challenging behaviours is a major focus of this degree. Teaching centers on a problem-focussed model and students will receive supervised behaviour management experience as part of the practical placement.
