The Center for Behavior Analysis, Research & Services at Rowan University promotes the science of applied behavior analysis through education, research, and service to individuals, families, and organizations at a local, regional, and national level. We currently offer:
General Behavior Analytic Services
Behavior analytic services utilize the basic principles of behavior in order to promote soci
ally significant changes in behavior. The Center for Behavior Analysis conducts initial assessments and observations in order to identify the causes of behavior, and these causes will then be used to create a comprehensive intervention tailored to the specific behaviors. Behavioral Parent-Training
Behavioral parent training has helped parents of children who have frequent temper tantrums, are not following directions well, talk back to adults and are overactive and impulsive. In addition, behavioral parent training has helped many parents who feel overwhelmed by their child's behavior, want to learn more about parenting to prevent problems, have limited experience with children and/or feel their child is out of control. Language-Based Therapies for Children with Autism
Research suggests language-based therapies such as the Verbal Behavior Approach and Discrete Trial Training have been effective in treating individuals with developmental disabilities, in particular, Autism Spectrum Disorders. These therapies include individualized 1:1 programming derived from skill assessments. Therapies focus on teaching communication, receptive language, appropriate play skills, social skills, and self-help skills. Pediatric Feeding
We approach the assessment and treatment of feeding problems from a comprehensive framework based on the potential causes of eating issues. We utilize evidence-based practices in our treatment planning. The Pediatric Feeding Disorders Program is staffed to conduct initial screenings, and if recommended, children may receive outpatient or intensive treatment within the clinic setting. Staff within the feeding program also teach parents/caregivers effective strategies to feed and interact with their child during meal times and/or feeding sessions.
