About
Our Mission
Hi there! We’re Clelia and Patrick, two school-based behavior analysts with a passion for supporting graduate students and professionals. We offer a variety of study materials, practice resources, and continuing education options.
Our site started with a vision to create a more equitable field. We don’t think you should need lots of money to start studying behavior analysis. This site provides straightforward explanations of every single item on the BACB Task List – freely available, for everyone, forever. The overarching assumptions that went into this project are that our science matters because people matter (not the other way around), and that our field needs a multitude of voices and perspectives in order to grow in a sustainable and ethical direction.
So, whoever you are, welcome! So glad you’re here.
