The emphasis in this course is on considering behavioral excesses and deficits within the context of environmental stimuli that precede and follow the behavior of interest, and learning to identify behavioral function to develop and implement proactive approaches for modifying environments to make problem behavior irrelevant, inefficient, and ineffective.
