Abstract:

Over the last 35 years, the Behavior Analysis Program in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Iowa has produced 45-plus students who received their PhDs under the leadership and mentorship of Dr. David Wacker. This panel will focus on the components of the "Iowa Training Model" as it pertains to the mentorship and training of behavior analysts in training. The discussion will include mentorship and training tactics and strategies utilized in the Program to promote skill acquisition by PhD students in clinical (i.e., in Outpatient and Day Treatment contexts) and research (i.e., in Clinic Research, Grant-Funded Research, and Advanced Seminars contexts) practice. The discussion will be grounded in the experiences of our panelists, who are prominent behavior analysts and were members of distinct "generations" of students in the Program, from their time in training in the Behavior Analysis Program in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Iowa.
