Abstract:

Effective and accurate dissemination of behavior analysis as a natural science is necessary to the successful development and implementation of behavior-analytic interventions in community settings and beyond. In addition, the scientific foundation of behavior analysis means that its principles can be applied to a diverse range of socially significant issues. Panelists will discuss their personal and professional accounts of effectively disseminating the versatility and potential of behavior analysis in a variety of settings, such as working with parents and educators who care for and provide services to children and adolescents diagnosed with ASD, using social networking as a way to garner positive attention to the applications of behavior analysis, and advocating for public safety and education. They will give recommendations and advice to those who seek to expand their professional knowledge in creating sustainable and acceptable behavior-analytic practices in their community. Additionally, panelists will discuss the various types of feedback they have received from nonbehaviorists and provide examples on how to go about getting positive reactions from those unfamiliar with the field of behavior analysis.
