The History of Applied Behavior Analysis: Part 1  

You've heard of Baer, Wolf, and Risley (1968), but do you know the true story behind the origins of Applied Behavior Analysis? This fascinating documentary takes you to Lawrence, Kansas, and explores the nuanced history through the lens of 30+ individuals—some who carved the initial path and others who navigate in their wake, continuing the legacy. Delve into the profound influences of the experimental analysis of behavior, community-based and community-engaged research, the evolution of precision teaching, and more. Journey through time with exclusive tours of historic locations, uncovering the ongoing challenges, triumphs, and enduring impact that transformed a small academic pursuit into a global scientific movement.
