The aim of this workshop is to clearly define and conceptualize some of DSM-5's diagnosis such as; Depressive Disorder, Bipolar disorder, Anxiety, specific phobia, panic disorder, Obsessive compulsive disorder, Trichotillomania and excoriation, and Trauma (PTSD etc) and related disorders and teach relevant empirically derived facts as well as factors to consider when completing a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA).

Many times, Behavior Analysts are told the client's diagnosis but have limited understanding of how the diagnosis impacts the modality of the assessment and treatment

It is still not a common practice for Behavior Analysts to receive referrals from other professionals for individuals that are not diagnosed with ASD but rather another diagnosis or a comorbid diagnosis from the DSM-5. To break this stigma, it is imperative to show how ABA can be an effective strategy for individuals with other disorders. 

The aim of this workshop is to:

•  Define and conceptualize some of DSM-5's diagnosis such as; Depressive Disorder, Bipolar disorder, Anxiety, specific phobia, panic disorder, Obsessive compulsive disorder, Trichotillomania and excoriation, and Trauma (PTSD etc) and related disorders.
•  Teach relevant empirically derived facts as well as factors to consider when completing a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA).
•  Stimulate further studies that will prove the effectiveness of using ABA to target DSM-5 diagnosis and further incorporate the use of ABA into clinical practice.

This program is for BCaBA, BCBA, graduate students, LCSW/LMHC's and licensed psychologists. This master class will last a total of 2.5 hour and will include 2.5 BACB CEU's.  

At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be able to:

Identify the key features of Depressive Disorder, Bipolar disorder, Anxiety, specific phobia, panic disorder, Obsessive compulsive disorder, Trichotillomania and excoriation, and Trauma (PTSD etc) and related disorders as well as empirically derived facts
