1 Ethics CEUConceptualizing Self-Determination from a Behavior Analytic Perspective
Stephanie Peterson4.40 out of 5(5)$20.00 Add to cartThe common educational goal of fostering self-determination in individuals can pose a challenge for behavior analysts due to its abstract nature, making it hard to define, observe, and measure.
