General CEU: The Developing Individual: Transition throughout Puberty

The Developing Individual: Transition throughout Puberty matters because it changes what a BCBA notices when decisions have to hold up in caregiver coaching, home routines, team meetings, and values-sensitive decision making. In Transition throughout Puberty, for this course, the practical stakes show up in better alignment between intervention and the family context in which it must survive, not in abstract discussion alone.
