Strengthen your intervention design skills by mastering how to select, implement, and evaluate antecedent and consequence strategies in applied behavior analysis. This lesson walks through the role of motivating operations (EOs and AOs), differential reinforcement systems, and function-based planning to reduce problem behaviors and promote skill acquisition. Participants will analyze ethical considerations and learn to tailor interventions to client needs through case-based applications.
