The BARC is designed for primarily educational purposes providing a forum for learning for undergraduate students, graduate students, and post-doctoral associates. The clients we serve are community members in schools, clinics, and specialized programs. The BARC provides professional training, consultations, and hands-on learning. The BARC aims to improve behavior-analytic practices through consultation projects and research grants. The ultimate aim is to improve the lives of our clients and their families.
The BARC engages in various research projects that help us evaluate the effectiveness of our assessments and interventions. This ensures that the strategies we use are empirically validated best practices. In fact, we are involved in the identification of those practices through our lines of research on assessment and treatment of problem behavior, food refusal and selectivity, and skill acquisition in autism and developmental disorders. Additionally, we provide high-quality services for our clients because we are staffed by Board Certified Behavior Analysts and PhD and masters-level experts in the field. Students at all levels may receive training and participate in supervised service-learning opportunities.
