PhD, BCBA-D, Adjunct Faculty

“The Simmons curriculum lays the foundation for high-quality behavior analytic work. It is comprehensive, robust, and requires that students learn the science of behavior analysis. Our goal is for students to understand the complex interactions that occur between the environment and behavior. We seek to foster a lifelong passion for achieving behavior change and encourage our students to think critically from a functional rather than prescriptive perspective when using behavior analysis to serve clients.”
