Neidert (The University of Kansas), DEREK D. REED (University of Kansas), Jomella Watson-Thompson (University of Kansas), Thomas L. Zane (University of Kansas) |
| Abstract: The Department of Applied Behavior Science is housed in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Kansas. The Department exists because a natural science of behavior uniquely helps us understand and improve the human condition locally, nationally, and globally. Our graduate mission is to train scientist-practitioners and researchers in the discovery, production, translation, application, and communication of knowledge for the same purposes. These missions entail four domains of teaching, training, and research: 1. Basic principles of a natural science of behavior; 2. Research methods in basic and applied research, the latter including prevention and intervention research; 3. Historical, conceptual, and comparative foundations; and 4. The extension and application of these domains for understanding and improving the human condition. What makes our missions unique is their foundation in a science of behavior, dedication to rigorous standards of experimental proof, and applications of the science and these standards to solving socially relevant problems. Rigor and relevance, together, are the Department's hallmark, both in making knowledge and taking it to practice. |

| 13. Graduate Programs in Special Education at The Ohio State University |
| SHEILA R. ALBER-MORGAN (The Ohio State University) |
| Abstract: The Ohio State University’s graduate programs in special education have been advancing the field of applied behavior analysis for almost 50 years. The greatest contributions of OSU’s special education program are the program graduates whose work has helped bring evidence-based instructional practices to teachers and students around the world. The Ph.D. program prepares personnel for leadership positions in special education whose research, professional practice, and teaching are guided by the philosophical, scientific, and technological principles of applied behavior analysis. Most of our PhD program graduates take positions in higher education or administration. The Master of Arts (MA) program emphasizes the design, implementation, and evaluation of curricular and instructional interventions to improve academic, social, self-care, functional, and vocational skills for individuals with disabilities. Our master’s program equips practitioners with the knowledge and skills necessary for the development and implementation of evidence-based behavioral interventions for improving socially significant behavior across a wide range of diverse learners in applied settings. Most of our MA program graduates take positions as teachers, intervention specialists, or behavior therapists. |

| LESLEY A. SHAWLER (Southern Illinois University), Camilo Hurtado-Parrado (Southern Illinois University, Carbondale), Ryan N. Redner (Southern Illinois University, Carbondale), Natalia Baires (Southern Illinois University Carbondale), Eric A. Jacobs (Southern Illinois University Carbondale) |
| Abstract: The kind of life we make for ourselves is very much dependent on the options we exercise and the resources we mobilize now and in the future. The basic assumption that guides our Behavior Analysis program has been stated as follows: We share the conviction that higher education must assume a vital and active role in integrating social and economic challenges of society. It recognizes and appreciates the well articulated thesis that we often jeopardize our chances for realizing a full and satisfying life and possibly our very existence. The basic premises undergirding this philosophy imply that in its own way our Behavior Analysis program can, through its internal structure and its programs, become a factor in shaping social and environmental conditions so that we can live with more dignity and sense of ful llment. Therefore, our program is committed to the improvement of socio--cultural conditions, economic concerns, and the enhancement of the quality of life we face now and in the future. More speci cally, our mission is to prepare students to function as action-oriented practitioners concerned with and capable of dealing with the three major elements of behavior analysis: person, behavior, and environment. |
