OUR MISSION
We use applied behavior analysis to support the diverse cultural needs of individuals and organizations through practices that support inclusion and equity.
We seek to create conditions that foster mutual understanding and authentic belonging, prioritize human dignity, and drive transformative outcomes. We strive to address immediate needs while shaping future directions to promote meaningful and sustainable systems change. Collaboration with a wide range of partners is central to our commitment to ensuring our efforts remain responsive and impactful. By staying aligned with our community values, we strive for our collective efforts to have lasting positive effects that benefit society.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to foster inclusivity, belonging, and inclusive spaces that advance meaningful, sustainable research and practice within applied behavior analysis.
As scientist-practitioners, we advocate for and engage in socially impactful, socially valid, and community-informed initiatives that drive systemic changes towards equity.
Our Community Values
We engage in perspective-shifting, using the science of behavior to address complex issues in equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging. By focusing on behavior rather than thoughts, feelings, and perceptions, we aim to promote more equitable and inclusive practices.

We facilitate bidirectional honest and open sharing. I make space for every voice. I hold space for disagreements. What gets included when we exclude? I don’t speak for my entire community. I speak from my individual, lived experience.

We seek opportunities to reinforce and generalize behaviors that meaningfully disrupt systemic issues and create a framework for equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging. I choose courage over comfort to step into a brave space, even if I have to stand alone. There is an inherent risk in conducting this work.
