One of the things I love to do, as a behaviour analyst, is to share the science. I love talking about behaviour analysis with anyone who wants to hear about it, and especially love chatting with people who are new to the field and looking to learn more about it.
At the moment, in Australia, behaviour analysis is becoming more recognised and understood. We have our two university courses dedicated to behaviour analysis! We also have a new certification available through the Association for Behaviour Analysis Australia. Check out our resources page for more details.
One aspect of disseminating behaviour analysis allows me to share my experiences, particularly working in a slightly different area (adolescents and adults in the behaviour analytic world), and how the principles of behaviour analysis can be applied, as well as how we can make socially significant changes to behaviour, to improve an individual's life, independence, and increase skills.
It is also an exciting time to be meeting others who are seeking to accrue their supervised fieldwork hours for the CBA, CBA-U, BCBA or BCaBA certifications now available. It's a great opportunity to help others understand how we can app
ly the principles of behaviour analysis to many different scenarios and help make meaningful, socially significant changes to help improve people's lives.
So if you ever want to talk more about behaviour analysis, I'm always happy to chat :)
