Breathing Behavior Analysis
Physiology, Behavior Analysis, Behavior Modification, Instrumentation
Certificate, Practicum, and Certification webinar programs

Statistics suggest that tens millions of people world- wide suffer with the profound and misunderstood symptoms and deficits of learned dysfunctional breathing habits. Unfortunately, these habits are rarely identified by practitioners, their effects mistakenly attributed to other causes, and their resolutions prescriptive in nature where focus is on symptoms rather than on causes.

We offer a solution.

We train healthcare practitioners, human service professionals, health educators, and performance enhancement consultants to integrate breathing learning services into their practices and businesses;
train breathing specialists to integrate the principles of behavior analysis into their breathing practices;
train high-performance professionals such as athletes, performers, artists, pilots, and specially trained operators to bring breathing science applications into their work.

We offer a WEBINAR CERTIFICATE PROGRAM in the Science of Breathing Behavior Analysis and a WEBINAR PRACTICUM PROGRAM in Breathing Case Analysis & Review, which together provide for CERTIFICATION as a Certified Breathing Behavior Analyst .

CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

Science of Breathing Behavior Analysis

Professionals earn a Breathing Science Certificate, which is the first requirement for completing Certification as a Breathing Behavior Analyst. A sequence of three courses provides a 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.

Program Description

This webinar-Certificate program consists of three 15- hour courses (45 CE hours, three credit units) that qualify professionals to:

assess breathing habits and their effects on health and performance based on the principles of behavior analysis
assist clients in managing and overcoming dysfunctional breathing habits that compromise physiology, psychology, and performance based on the principles of behavior modification
assist clients in improving physical, behavioral, and psychological performance
use capnography and related instrumentation for as- sisting their clients in identifying and overcoming dysfunctional breathing habits.

Program Objectives

This Certificate program teaches how to:

determine whether there are dysfunctional breathing habits
identify the learned behavioral components of dysfunctional habits
identify the symptoms and deficits brought on by habits
determine how existing health conditions may interact with physiological effects of habits
identify the triggers of breathing habits (e.g., pain)
identify the outcomes (reinforcements) and emotions that keep breathing habits in place
uncover the origin of habits, and
assist patients in overcoming dysfunctional habits and learning new ones that are consistent with good physiology, especially respiration.

Program Scheduling

Fall 2021 dates and times are on Saturdays as follows:
08:30 – 17:00 Mountain Time, all courses.

COURSE: 301 Respiratory Psychophysiology
1 credit unit, 15 hours CE
October 30 and November 6

COURSE: 404 Breathing Habit Analysis
1 credit unit, 15 hours CE
November 13 and 20

COURSE: 405 Breathing Habit Modification
1 credit unit, 15 hours CE
December 4 and 11

Program Completion Requirements:

A short-essay open-book examination for each course, live participation, and completion of homework practice sessions.
Certificate Tuition: $1,800.00

INSTRUMENTATION

Participants who plan to become Certified as Breathing Behavior Analysts will need to acquire CapnoTrainer instrumentation before beginning the Certificate program. Educational capnography technology is fundamental to the implementation of the principles of breathing behavior analysis and behavior modification, that is, providing learning services for identifying, managing, and unlearning dysfunctional breathing habits that compromise respiration and learning new ones for improving health & performance.

BREATHING PRACTICUM

Case Analysis & Review Proseminar
Professionals who have earned the Breathing Science Certificate may 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.

Program Description

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

Program Objectives

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.

Program Scheduling:

Winter 2022 dates and times are on Saturdays as follows:

PROSEMINAR:

611 Case Analysis & Review, with Practicum
3 credit units, 45 hours CE, nine 5-hour sessions:
January 15, 22, 29; February 5 12, 19, 26; March 5, 12.
All Saturdays: 9:00 – 14:30 Mountain Time.

Program Completion Requirements

Participating professionals complete four breathing habit assessment sessions and eight breathing learning sessions (two hours per session), four of which are presented during the Proseminar for review and analysis. A detailed analysis of each session is completed by using the forms provided by the Practicum Coordinator and then submitted on the Professional School e-campus website. Attendance and active participation with colleagues are required.
Practicum Tuition: $1,800.00.

CERTIFICATION (CBBA)

Breathing Behavior Analyst

Colleagues are awarded CERTIFICATION upon successful completion of both the Breathing Science Certificate and the Breathing Practicum Program. They receive a Certification Diploma and an official transcript from the Professional School. Graduates may use the designation CBBA after their names.

The combined 90-hour curriculum includes three 15- hour workshop courses (3 cr ed it units, 45 hours) and one 45-hour Case Analysis & Review Proseminar (3 units). Upon completion, participants earn six ACADEMIC credit units and 90 CE hours.
Certification Tuition: $3600.00 (Certificate & Practicum)
