Training Description
In this training, attendees will explore how to use principles from behaviorism to guide their understanding of and approach to engaging with system-involved youth. We will begin with an overview of how behaviorism can inform our understanding of a youth and their behavior; discuss strategies to gather information and test hypotheses with youth; and end by discussing ways to utilize this knowledge to more effectively support system involved youth in their environments.
Learning Objectives
· Explain at least 2 types of conditioning (classical conditioning and operant conditioning)
· Identify the 3 most common reinforcers of behavior which can be used to support system-involved youth.
