Abstract: This paper will introduce the audience to an often overlooked setting for applied behavior analytic research. It will briefly review the development of daycare settings post WWI and describe the particular challenges currently facing children, their parents, and caregivers in these settings. Issues pertaining to quality of care for the children and the compensation, training, and turnover rate of caregivers will be described. Multiple opportunities for behavior analytic research will be suggested. Finally, time permitting, a first hand account of the hurdles and benefits of conducting research in such settings will be discussed. |
