Hello!

I am currently studying at ASU, getting my MA-SPED-ABA degree. Additionally, I am a Student Analyst with PBS Corp.

As I have been working in the ABA field and studying, it has become clearer to me that I want to continue my studies, potentially getting my Ph.D.

What I'm interested in is learning the reason(s) behind caregivers/teachers lack of fidelity with behavior change programs. As practitioners, if the team isn't working together to create success for the client (which the hope would be to have that success trickle into the family or classroom unit), we can either just accept it or figure out the best methods to get everyone on the same page with involvement.

Ultimately, my goal is to teach at the university level, do research and perhaps create programs to help ABA companies, their BCBAs and clients (consult?).

I was introduced to the term "non-linear" with respect to practicing ABA, and am very interested in it.

Any thoughts or advice would be great!

Thanks,

Irene Good
