This course takes a creative and self-reflective approach to improving the field of applied behavior analysis by turning the tools of behavior change inward. Using the familiar framework of a behavior intervention plan (BIP), it invites behavior analysts to identify their own behaviors of concern, target those for reduction, and simultaneously increase behaviors that promote listening, equity, and uplift within the profession.

Join Free →Before we can do better we need to know what we are targeting and what behaviors we need. That is the purpose of the behavior intervention plan (or behavior support plan). It's a document that outlines the behaviors of concern targeted for reduction as well as identifying areas we need to focus on for skills acquisition. This is something that ABA needs as a whole. Join us to find out what steps you can take to help our field and science thrive. Please note, this is a hard conversation that will be uncomfortable at times, but is a very necessary one. The objective is the same as any BIP.
