BEHAVIORAL RESEARCH SUPERVISORY SYSTEM (BRSS)
  • Graduate Supervisors
  • Kelli Perry and Tiffany Smiecinski
  • Undergraduate Assistants Russell Buero, Lindsey
    Donovan, and Brittany Vallender

2
What is BRSS?
  • A subsystem within Dr. Malotts Behavior Analysis
    Training System (BATS)

3
Overview of BRSS
  • Graduate students are completing a Research
    Development Project and need YOUR help!
  • BRSS supervises the completion of work on each
    project within BATS
  • Grad students act as supervisors of undergrads
  • Undergrads assist in the development of the RD
    project

4
The Projects
  • Behavioral Research Supervisory System (BRSS)
  • Behavior Analysis Training System (BATS)
  • Behavioral Systems Analysis Project (BSAP)
  • Graduate Records Exam Preparation (GRE-Prep)
  • Self-Management (SM)

5
The Projects
  • Organizational Behavior Management (OBM)
  • Advanced Practicum (AP)
  • Intermediate Practicum (IP)
  • Pre-Practicum
  • Language Facilitation Training System (LFTS)
  • Verbal Behavior
  • PECS

6
Organizational Behavior Management (OBM)
  • Some possible tasks an OBM undergrad would
    complete are
  • Help run seminar
  • Help supervise graduate students
