ED X309D.5 - Applied Behavior Analysis Competency Course
Course Description
This course aims to help students demonstrate mastery of behavior analytic principles, concepts, theories, and applications.
In this course, students are expected to:
-
Take a full-length mock exam (4 hours of testing in one sitting) at least 72 hours PRIOR to taking the oral exam.
-
Orally define and provide examples of at least two terms from each section of BACB/QABA’s task list. Specifically, there are 9 sections on both BACB and QABA’s task list, thus students will be tested on at least 18 terms. The terms will be randomly selected by the instructor. Students will be given 2-minutes per term to define and provide an example.
***This is a REQUIRED course per PaCE for students to successfully complete the BCBA/QBA program.
