The Scientist-Practitioner Model
As a science, behavior analysis is constantly changing. This requires that practitioners stay abreast of the current literature and new developments to ensure the most current empirically-validated procedures are used, with the end-goal always being to provide the most effective treatment to clients. Below is a list of awards bestowed upon our staff (both past and present) in recognition of their continued efforts to be good ‘scientist-practitioners,’ as well as their contributions to the field of behavior analysis.
