Behavior analysis is capable of addressing a wide breadth of human and animal behavior. In fact, our science is one of the most ubiquitous sciences in terms of application. This flexibility and application also includes the complex nature of sexuality, an area of practice that many behavior analysts will intersect with in their time working in the field. In this talk, Dr. Shane T. Spiker will discuss the current research in behavior analysis related to sexuality as well as how to successfully and ethically navigate assessment, treatment, and collaboration in this research area.
Part 1 of this course will discuss some current research and definitions related to sexuality in behavior analysis. This will be a necessary foundation for the rest of this course.
Part 2 will discuss assessment considerations, including legal and culturally relevant factors to assessing sexually related behaviors.
Part 3 of this talk will primarily discuss interventions and how they might be used in a behavior analytic context. And finally,
Part 4 of this talk will focus on ethics in the context of sexuality in behavior analysis as well as provide resources to access.

- Define and describe sexual behavior and sexuality in the context of behavior analytic work

About the Presenter
Shane was such a GREAT presenter. He was able to keep some lightheartedness to such a tough subject and was also thorough with the information and knowledge.
So helpful!! Excellent!
Very informative! Great presentation of information in practical ways.
Excellent speaker! Very relevant topic. Would love to see more like this and additional trainings by this speaker. THANK YOU!
Really great, engaging CEU! I loved that it was self paced and broken up into pieces. Some clips felt like they were not cut with all the content (maybe missing some seconds) but overall great experience!
Fantastic presentation! Thank you so much. I really appreciate the style and pace of this module. The presenter was the best online facilitator of this calibre I've seen. Thanks again!
This was so much more helpful than I thought it would be! Very professional and informative.
extremely informative, you can tell speaker is very knowledgeable. Learned a lot.
Dr. Spiker was a very engaging and informative speaker. He had great information and thought-provoking self-reflection questions for attendees.
I was initially drawn to this course because Dr. Spiker was one of my professors in grad school at ASU, and he taught me ethics. I was impressed by the candor in which he presented some very important topics that seem otherwise to be taboo, but necessary to discuss in the realm of behavior analysis when dealing with individuals who engage in this type of behavior. I especially appreciated the focus on identifying the function of these behaviors. Thank you Dr. Spiker.
