The Behavior Management Clinic (BMC) provides in depth training in caregiver behavior management, behavioral assessment, and evidence based treatment for a broad array of externalizing and internalizing difficulties occurring in early and middle childhood. The clinic serves children from 12 months through 12 years of age who present with externalizing and internalizing disorders (e.g., ADHD, disruptive behavior disorders, anxiety disorders, habit disorders, tics, depression, aggression, tantrums, social skills deficits, toileting concerns, sleep difficulties, and school-related issues) and varying functioning levels, including typically developing children as well as youngsters with mild cognitive, speech, and/or motor impairments. Trainees are provided advanced training in empirically supported treatments such as, applied behavior analysis (ABA), family based behavioral therapy, behavioral parent training (e.g., Parent Child Interaction Therapy [PCIT]), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and habit-reversal therapy based on the needs of assigned cases. Ongoing data tracking is integral to the treatment approach in order to inform treatment direction and to verify outcomes. BMC has an interdisciplinary focus and draws heavily from behavioral/cognitive behavioral approaches to assessment and treatment, with treatment modality dictated by presenting concerns. Common treatment modalities may include behavioral parent training, individual therapy, and/or group therapy, as well as an emphasis on collaboration with a variety of community professionals.

Qualified candidates for the BMC fellowship program will have received their doctoral degrees in School, Counseling, or Clinical Psychology and have successfully completed an APA-accredited internship program.
