SAFE Behavior Lab

The Social Acceptability and Functional Evaluation of Behavior (SAFE Behavior) Lab focuses on the assessment and treatment of unsafe and interfering behavior in neurodivergent individuals, particularly children with autism. Our overarching research interest is the promotion of socially valid outcomes for children and adolescents who engage in severe behavior, such as aggression, self-injury, and property destruction. Toward that goal, we are exploring how to leverage technology to improve the accessibility and quality of training and service delivery.
