Collaborative Action for Radical Equity in Applied Behavior Analysis Lab

Our Collaborative Action for Radical Equity in Applied Behavior Analysis (CARE ABA) lab seeks to put action to our values as applied behavior scientists and practitioners. Our values are consistent with others’ (e.g., Fawcett, 1991) and include collaborative reciprocal relationships with participants and communities and across disciplines, socially valid research goals and methods, dissemination of effective interventions and support for change agents, and advocacy for communities and change.  In addition, we uphold the Baer et al. (1968) notion of applied behavior analysis as a “self-examining, self-evaluating, discovery-oriented research procedure for studying behavior.”

Our mission
To create a platform dedicated to facilitating the pursuit and dissemination of knowledge in all its forms pertaining to behavioral approaches that foster more inclusive and equitable practices and lead to dismantling of ableism within our community.

Our vision
Collaborative action for equity in the science and practice of applied behavior analysis
