Why this course matters: You probably learned the definition. But can you recognize it in practice?

Most behavior analysts can define negative reinforcement. The harder skill is recognizing when it is shaping learner behavior, caregiver behavior, and even our own clinical decisions. When does a break request become negative reinforcement? When is avoidance adaptive rather than problematic? When are we accidentally reinforcing escape—or having our own behavior reinforced by the learner?

This course is for you if...

1) You work with escape-maintained behavior. 2) You use FCT, break requests, or demand fading. 3) You supervise RBTs or ABA therapists. 4) You have seen staff back away from demands during escalation. 5) You want to better understand the ethical use of negative reinforcement. 6) You want CEU content that goes beyond exam definitions.
