Whether working with young children in early intervention, school-age students in educational settings, adolescents in residential programs, or adults in community-based services, behavior analysts are routinely called upon to understand, prevent, and address behaviors that pose risks to the individual or others, interfere with learning and social participation, or result in restrictive placements and reduced quality of life.
