Our primary intent for this Home Study Course is to provide you with quality education to foster professional growth. The Institute has provided quality education since 1979 to thousands nationally, and in Canada as well.

Welcome to the Home Study Course. My name is Tracy Catherine Appleton. We appreciate the fact that you have chosen us as a vehicle for you to earn your Continuing Education credits. A sub-title for this course might be "Behavior Modification revisited, and how to find the gem of an idea that will help you to grow professionally today."

The most efficient way to complete the Home Study Course is to complete it sequentially, module by module. By that, I mean after completing the introductory exercise in the course manual, listen to Module #1 first, "Positive Reinforcement - The P-R-I-D-E Method." Then complete the note-taking/fill-in-the-blank questions for that module. Then complete the brief-answer "Behavior Modification" questions for Module #1.

After this, listen to Module #2, "Instruction - Seven Basic Techniques." Complete the note-taking/ fill-in-the-blank questions and brief-answer "Behavior Modification" questions for the second module, and so on.

Since the materials are in a module format, the preceding system is a more efficient use of your time, as opposed to listening to all six modules at once, then answering all of the questions.

Speaking of efficiency, this brings us to time. How much time should this course take? If you find your time is running way over 10 hours, step back and rethink your process.

Who is the target student for this course? A wide variety of professions use Behavior Modification. For example, since the health professions are composed of both direct-care clinicians and administrative personnel, we have made a point to gear our Behavior Modification questions to learners who are in either of these positions. Thus, if you are a direct-service provider, you might recall a client, tenant, consumer, resident, patient, customer, etc., that you deal with. If you are in an administrative position, you might recall a staff member, team member, agency employee, etc., with which you work, to apply the concepts.
