At our centers, we provide direct service to children and families. We also offer training opportunities for professionals considering a career in behavior analysis, education, or psychology.
Our centers also actively promote the conduct of research to develop and disseminate groundbreaking interventions. As part of this research, we sometimes offer services in settings outside of our center-based program, for example in schools or in the homes of participating families. Conducting research in different settings allows us to both maximize the number of children we can support in our center-based program and play a role in development and dissemination of evidence-based interventions.
