About Me
Hello, welcome, and thank you for being here!
I'm Dr. Jennifer Haddock, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (Doctoral) who has been working, researching, and teaching in the field of Behavior Analysis for nearly two decades. During that time, I have held many roles, including direct therapist, supervisor, mentor, graduate student, researcher, postdoctoral fellow, professor, and consultant. I have worked with a variety of populations and ages, mostly serving the autistic and disabled communities. My passions are teaching, creating, and applying the principles of behavior in my own life. Thank you for joining me on my writing and self-improvement journey. My mission is to share the science and philosophy of behavior analysis in unique ways and to reach as many people as possible, offering my life as an imperfect example of living as a radical behaviorist.
