All About Behavior Assessment

Week 8: Cipani's Behavioral Classification System

This episode unpacks the Cipani Behavioral Classification System, breaking down its four categories: Direct Access, Socially Mediated Access, Direct Escape, and Socially Mediated Escape. Through case studies and functional behavioral assessments, we explore how understanding environmental contexts can clarify behavior and improve mental health and educational interventions. Practical anecdotes, such as Dr. Nuse's success story, illustrate the real-world impact of these approaches.
