Description

The Iowa Department of Education contracted with behavior analysts from the Center for Disabilities and Development to train school-based practitioners in functional behavior assessment. The training model included didactic lectures and hands-on training sessions to evaluate students engaging in challenging behaviors. The Challenging Behavior Training Service has improved behavior assessment practices throughout the state, improved outcomes for students, and created leaders in behavior assessment throughout Iowa.
