Abstract:

Behavior analysis has seen an increase in popularity over the past two decades. Mobilized by increased demand, ABA has developed considerably as a profession, developing standards for training and certification that support ethical and effective practice of behavior analysis. Most of the public's awareness, however, is limited to the incredible effectiveness of applied behavior analytic (ABA) interventions for autism spectrum disorders. In this way, the maturation of behavior analysis as a profession has not been matched by the improved effectiveness of dissemination of general principles of behavior analysis. This is unfortunate, as behavior analysis has the demonstrated potential to effect socially significant change in a broad range of domains. The members of this panel are professionals who have committed huge amounts of time and other personal resources to promote the accurate, ethical, and effective dissemination of behavior analysis with varying emphases. Panelists will discuss key objectives, strengths, challenges, and new opportunities for the dissemination of behavior analysis, as well as the criteria for evaluating dissemination efforts.
