Abstract:

The expansion of behavior-analytic services and tools to non-behavioral systems is an important endeavor and essential for the acceptance and regulation of behavioral practices. The growth of applied behavior analysis and the recognition of the efficacy of behavioral services are largely impacted by the dissemination efforts offered by parents, practitioners, and academics. These efforts can influence widespread cultural change across our systems as seen in areas such as private industry, education, legislation, sustainability, and community areas that, up until recently, may have been largely unaware of the benefits of our science. Consistent, effective dissemination is likely to continue this already substantial progress. Disseminating behavior analysis and expanding our field to those non-behavioral systems in need of our services not only offers a unique opportunity to further the field, but also may substantially impact society. The panelists will be reviewing strategies and barriers pertinent to the practical and ethical dissemination of behavior-analytic services to non-behavioral colleagues and systems.
