| Description: This workshop has its origins in the observation that one of the best ways to learn to become successful in your field is to listen to the stories of those that have traveled that path before. It is equally important to hear how the pursuit of business success can encounter ethical challenges along the way. The Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies is a non-profit organization dedicated to the science of ABA and its ethical applications. This event chaired by Dr. Holdsambeck, features three well known behavior analysts from CCBS who will share their successes and challenges.
Dr. Pennypacker is recognized for his many scientific and academic contributions to the field of ABA. In addition, he developed a behavioral approach to breast self examination (Mamatech), that he took public. Dr. Lattal is the president of one of the first ABA consulting firms int he country (Aubrey Daniels International). She ahs written extensively on ethical issues. Dr. Bondy helped to found Pyramid Educational Systems and PECS, among other things. He has agreed to share his experiences with business and the educational community. We invite you to attend, listen, and participate as you enhance your repertoire and ethical business strategies. |
