Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Lab

In our ABA lab, we conduct both clinically oriented laboratory-based research and field research to enhance clinical practice in Psychology and Applied Behavior Analysis.  Currently, we are focused on projects designed to improve clinical skill development, particularly for therapists in ABA and Clinical Psychology, as well as caregivers. 

 Other research interests include training health prevention behavior (e.g., safe sleep practices), child skill development strategies, evaluating preference for different reinforcement schedules, reinforcer displacement, assessment and treatment of challenging behavior, and exploring key issues in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. Research locations may be conducted in the ABA lab in the Department of Psychological Science and the BEAR Center, an on-campus clinic.
