WEBINAR CERTIFICATE PROGRAM:

The Science of Breathing Behavior Analysis

Professionals earn a Breathing Science Certificate, which is the first requirement for completing Certification as a Breathing Behavior Analyst. This sequence of courses provides the practical knowledge of the required physiology, behavioral science, and technology necessary for identifying dysfunctional breathing habits and assisting clients to disengage these habits and learn new ones for enhancing health and performance.

This webinar-Certificate program consists of three 15-hour courses (45 CE hrs, 3 academic units) that qualify professionals to: (1) assess breathing habits and their effects on health and performance based on the principles of behavior analysis, (2) assist clients in managing and/or overcoming dysfunctional breathing habits that compromise physiology, psychology, and performance based on the principles of behavior modification, (3) assist clients in improving physical, behavioral, and psychological performance, and (4) use capnography and related instrumentation for assisting their clients in identifying and overcoming dysfunctional breathing habits.

BREATHING PRACTICUM:

Case Analysis & Review Proseminar

Professionals who have earned the Breathing Science Certificate become CERTIFIED as Breathing Behavior Analysts by completing this intensive hands-on practicum program where they demonstrate and document their competence and proficiency in breathing behavior analysis and breathing behavior modification.

Certification requires completion of the Case Analysis & Review Proseminar consisting of nine 5-hour webinar sessions (45 CE hours, three academic units) where participants, who have completed the Breathing Science Certificate, present four cases of their own while completing practicum assignments to be submitted to the Coordinator.

Participants learn first-hand from the Professional School Practicum Coordinator, and from interacting with colleagues attending the Proseminar, how to sharpen their breathing habit assessment and behavior modification skills. Specific cases presented by participating professionals are reviewed in detail, including histories, checklists, behavioral reports, physiology reports, homework assignments, data analysis, video recordings, learning plans, and assessment and learning session summaries.
