ABA Student Theresa Barhold Receives 2019 BCOTB Fellowship
A fellowship opportunity has been established for 2nd year master鈥檚 students in the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Program at the 最新天美传媒. The fellowship, offered through in Tampa, provides a two-semester stipend for a student who is able to work 20 hours per week at BCOTB as their practicum placement, and then willing to work at BCOTB after graduating from USF.
BCOTB has been Tampa鈥檚 leading provider of ABA therapy services for sixteen years. With the goal of improving the lives of children with autism by providing tools to bring about meaningful and positive changes in behavior, BCOTB therapy is designed to assess and treat both problem behavior and pre-academic and social skill deficits in an ongoing evaluation of each child鈥檚 individual needs.
ABA student Theresa Barhold has received the 2019 BCOTB fellowship. Theresa鈥檚 research is focused on a behavioral strategy known as chaining that is used to teach children with autism complex behaviors by breaking them down into smaller sequential steps.
For additional information on the fellowship, contact Catia Cividini-Motta.
