Children and Family Internship Program
For students applying to work/intern at the CFP: They will go through a rigorous training
in our manualized behavioral intervention. Applied behavior analysis will then be
used by the interns working with children in academic and social settings while simultaneously
their parents will be attending behavior parenting strategies workshops. The GA/RA/Intern
will use these behavioral techniques as a way to prevent future academic, behavioral,
and social failure (e.g. running Social Skills Programs). They will also have an opportunity
to co-lead parenting workshops and inservices.
