Members of the Severe Behavior Program and Pediatric Feeding Disorders Intensive Program delivered symposia presentations, symposia discussions, and poster presentations.

Please help us congratulate Dr. Wayne Fisher, who received a few prominent awards from the Society for the Experimental Analysis of Behavior! The awards he received were:

  • The Ninth Annual Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis Seminal Article Award for the following paper (Dr. Cathleen Piazza is also an author on this paper!)
    • Fisher, W., Piazza, C. C., Bowman, L. G., Hagopian, L. P., Owens, J. C., & Slevin, I. (1992).
