Navigating Challenges and Developing Solutions for Behavior Analysis Experiential Learning in On-Campus and Online Programs

Monday, May 26, 2025

9:00 AM–9:50 AM

Convention Center, Street Level, 147 B

Area: EDC; Domain: Service Delivery

CE Instructor: Laura Barcelos-Nomicos, Ph.D.

Abstract:

In today’s changing educational environment meeting the need for appropriate experiential learning for students in behavior analysis can prove to be extremely challenging. This panel will discuss the unique challenges that arise in providing high-quality experiential learning for behavior analysis students across multiple settings. The first issue encountered by most programs is finding and fostering relationships with experiential learning sites. This issue is followed quickly with concerns regarding quality control and oversight. Maintaining consistency of experience across programs when each site offers different training protocols offers additional difficulties. Many solutions to these concerns require levels of staff and support that are not possible for most programs. Panelists will offer insights into the specific difficulties encountered by their programs and propose solutions that align with current educational standards and technology. Panelists will review challenges related to experiential learning for an on-campus undergraduate program, an on-campus graduate program, and for an online graduate program.

Instruction Level: Basic
