| PAOLO MODERATO (IESCUM, ABA Italian Chapter), Giovambattista Presti (IESCUM, ABA Italian Chapter), Renato Gentile (Universita di Parma), Giovanni Miselli (IESCUM, ABA Italian Chapter), Francesco Pozzi (IESCUM, ABA Italian Chapter), Cristina Copelli (IESCUM, ABA Italian Chapter) |
| Abstract: IESCUM was established to translate into specific actions a vision of science in Italy, both on the educational and on the research side. In these years it has organized courses for psychologists and the first BACB certified ABA course, which welcomed the participation of parents of autistic children as attendants. The favorable climate towards ABA approach to autism has set the occasion to positively promote the values of a scientific approach to the science of behavior to audiences that are usually alien to the field. In addition the group of authors, all psychologists, moved from a Psychology to a Communication and Public Relations Academic Program. The authors experience in integrating the principles of BA to the core of a new program and the chances for interacting with a larger community using the Internet tools, will be discussed. Communicating BA and its applications will be a major focus and opportunity in the next years for IESCUM, since the humanistic roots of Psychology in Italy have not faded at all. Internet is undoubtedly the tool that will help in reaching both a specialized and non-specialized audiences, with initiatives that vary from information rich web sites, distance teaching and an electronic scientific journal. |
