About the course
In this course, you’ll have the unique opportunity to explore a real-life case study from Dr. Zoe Lucock’s therapeutic work with an older adult with dementia and her spouse, all within the comfort of their own home. This is particularly unusual given that the majority of behavior-analytic research has been focused on older adults in long-term care as opposed to working directly in their homes which is where the vast majority of older adults live.
Through this case study, you’ll see firsthand how an individualised intervention was coproduced and implemented, providing you with practical insights into how the strategies from behavioral gerontology can be effectively applied in real-world settings.
You’ll also learn how to adapt data collection methods to ensure they are both effective and acceptable for older adults, respecting their autonomy and individual needs.
We’ll discuss how changes to data collection processes can significantly improve the quality of care and help maintain the integrity of interventions over time.
This course places a strong emphasis on designing interventions that preserve the dignity of individuals with dementia, ensuring that strategies not only address behavioral needs but also respect the individual’s sense of self and personal values.
This course is perfect for those who have taken the Introduction to Behavioral Gerontology course and the Behavioral Approach to Understanding Dementia course as it builds on that knowledge to show how it is applies in a real life clinical example.

I estimate that the course will take roughly one hour to complete from start to finish including completing the quizzes to test your understanding.
Definitely! You don't need to be certified to want to learn more about ABA with older adults. Many masters degrees in ABA don't have any content about this niche area, so seeking out additional learning beyond the course curriculum is a great way to develop your skills as a behavior analyst.
Absolutely! Our course is available to anyone in the world and we don't think it would be right to restrict access. The content is suitable for Behavior Analysts interested in behavioral gerontology no matter where you live and work. I try to use American spellings wherever possible but as a British Behavior Analysts, I do sometimes forget and slip into British English spellings :)
