Implementation of Applied Behavior Analysis Strategies in Classrooms in Miami Dade Public Schools

Gretel Diaz, June 1st, 2019

English - Miami Dade Public school teachers are currently experiencing a lack of training of effective strategies and interventions to efficiently work and teach children with Autism and other developmental disabilities. Research has demonstrated Applied Behavior Analysis(ABA) strategies and procedures to be effective in treating autism and other developmental disabilities, as well as addressing problem behaviors in typical children. Training in research-based ABA interventions can help improve classroom structures and reduce problem behaviors while targeting and increasing appropriate replacement behaviors. Teachers will greatly benefit from this effective research-based training by incorporating Board Certified Behavior Analysts in public schools to train and provide support in classrooms with special needs children.
