UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

The content of the first AA (Prevention and intervention with people with disabilities) will first focus on theoretical models of typical and atypical human development, disability situations and specific needs. Then, we will approach the techniques of evaluation of the development by taking particularly into account the spheres of the autonomy, the socialization and the communication. Using the results collected by these tools, we will study early intervention strategies, but also primary, secondary and tertiary prevention practices.

The content of the second AA (Prevention and intervention with people with behavioral disorders) will focus on a definition of behavioral disorders (DSM 5 and Behaviors-Challenges). It will develop current functional assessment methodologies. It will also focus on intervention strategies using Positive Behavioral Support, with particular attention to those using prevention, learning alternative behaviors, the most appropriate reaction methods and, finally, questions relating to systems.
