Statistics suggest that tens millions of people worldwide 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 (1) train healthcare practitioners, human service professionals, health educators, and performance enhancement consultants to integrate breathing learning services into their professions; (2) train breathing specialists to integrate the principles of behavior analysis into their breathing practices; and (3) 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 PROFESSIONAL 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 .


PROFESSIONAL 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: (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.

Program Objectives
This Certificate program teaches how to: (1) determine whether there are dysfunctional breathing habits, (2) identify the learned behavioral components of dysfunctional habits, (3) identify the symptoms and deficits brought on by habits, (4) determine how existing health conditions may interact with physiological effects
of habits, (5) identify the triggers of breathing habits (e.g., pain), (6) identify the outcomes (reinforcements) and emotions that keep breathing habits in place, (7) uncover the origin of habits, and (8) assist patients in overcoming dysfunctional habits and learning new ones that are consistent with good physiology, especially respiration.

Coursework

COURSE: 301 Respiratory Psychophysiology
1 credit unit, 15 hours CE, two 1-day sessions

COURSE: 404 Breathing Habit Analysis
1 credit unit, 15 hours CE, two 1-day sessions

COURSE: 405 Breathing Habit Modification
1 credit unit, 15 hours CE, two 1-day sessions

Program Completion Requirements
A short-essay open-book examination for each course, live participation, and completion of homework assignments

Certificate Tuition: $1,800.00


INSTRUMENTATION

Participants who plan to become Certified as Breathing Behavior Analysts will need to acquire CapnoTrainer
instrumentation for use during 404 Breathing Habit Analysis and 405 Breathing Behavior Modification.  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 and performance.


CERTIFICATION (CBBA)
Certified Breathing Behavior Analyst

Colleagues are awarded CERTIFICATION upon successful completion of both the Breathing Science Certificate AND the 611 Breathing Practicum Program.

The combined 90-hour curriculum includes three 15- hour workshop courses (3 credit units, 45 hours) and one 45-hour Case Analysis & Review Proseminar (3 units). Upon completion, participants earn six credit units and 90 CE hours.

Certification Tuition: $1,800.00 (Certificate) and $2,400.00 (Practicum)


ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Application is made during the registration process.

Coursework: at least one college course in chemistry, biology, and psychology
Education: BS or BA, or AA degree in a healthcare profession, e.g., nursing
