Event Details
AST is proud to invite you to join us for a speaker event with Jay Sevin, Ph.D., BCBA. Dr. Sevin who is a psychologist in New Orleans, LA. Dr. Sevin specializes in behavioral psychology specifically working with individuals who have co-occurring mental health disorders and intellectual disabilities. We hope you will join us for this dynamic presentation.
About the Presentation
This is the first in a two-part series of presentations on applications of Applied Behavior Analysis to understanding and treating mental illness in persons with developmental disabilities. This first presentation focuses on anxiety disorders, psychosis, and a broader understanding of mental illnesses within applied behavior analytic models. Some evidence-based behavioral treatments for common types of psychopathology are presented. Case examples highlight considerations related to topics such as respondent conditioning, functional assessment, contingency management, stimulus equivalence, motivating operations, and generalization. The speaker argues that standard behavioral treatments for mental health conditions can at times be enhanced by analyses and treatment modifications conducted from an ABA perspective.
CEUs
AST is pleased to offer 2 Type 2 CEUs to all BCBAs who attend this event. Please provide your BCBA number when you register to receive your certificate.
