My interests are in teaching and providing supervised experience
in Applied Behavior Analysis for undergraduate students and those
in the master's program in ABA at the Panama City campus. We have
been fortunate to have gotten wide community support for ABA as evidenced
by the variety of settings and populations we have served. These include:
public and private schools; juvenile justice; residential facilities
and workshops for individuals with developmental disabilities; facilities
for the aged; classrooms for children with autism; home-based services
for children with autism, developmental disabilities, or problem behaviors;
foster care settings; and, early intervention. In addition, our students
have conducted behavioral community psychology research projects and
have the opportunity to play active behind-the-scenes roles with the
Florida Association for Behavior Analysis (FABA; visit our website
at http://www.fabaworld.org/)
as conference program assistants.
