Master’s Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis July 2022

My master’s degree immersed me in the intricacies of behavior-analytic principles such as positive reinforcement, shaping and communication training. I gained a strong foundation in effecting positive behavior change, addressing behavioral excesses and deficiencies, and challenging behaviors through evidence-based interventions.

This advanced degree program placed an emphasis on ethical conduct. I also had the opportunity to enhance my communication and leadership skills while training others through a supervision and performance management course as part of the curriculum.

Part of the Applied Behavior Analysis curriculum at ASU, was Operational Behavior Management (OBM). I learned how to organize environments and shape them with behavior strategies and evidence-based practices.
