Abstract:

Behavior analysts are tasked with disseminating the field of behavior analysis by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (Guidelines for Responsible Conduct for Behavior Analysts & Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts). Over 50 years after the beginning of behavior analysis, the public still largely misunderstands the field. The need for the dissemination of behavior analysis seems to be an overlooked guideline of the ethical code. It is essential for the survival of our field that behavior analysts bridge the gap between behavior analysis and the community. This panel discussion highlights how behavior analysts can disseminate in a way that connects our field with the public and can use media outlets to insert behavior analysis in ways that appeals to the public rather than only to people requiring services. The discussion will address how to better support each other in these endeavors and develop possible contingencies to further dissemination efforts. This discussion is meant to inspire, provide ideas, and create strategic ways for behavior analysts to increase the dissemination of the field. Join us for a panel discussion focused on how behavior analysts can prioritize this important task.
