| Abstract: The BACB ethical code calls for behavior analysts to disseminate our practice beyond its current reach. Practitioners and researchers alike have made an enormous impact on the treatment of autism and related disabilities, but what about other areas? We are vigorously trained to understand behavior and the conditions under which it is governed. However, the ways in which our unique repertoire position us to bring behavior analysis to other markets remains unaddressed. This panel will explore several key questions related to entrepreneurship, such as: What does it mean to be an entrepreneur? What separates those that attempt entrepreneurship from those that don’t? What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur, and how can one prepare to bring behavior analysis to the masses? With a focus on dissemination of behavior analysis into new markets, each panelist will contribute their own unique experiences as it pertains to mentorship, networking, education and self-management—all critical components to building a successful enterprise. |
