What is Primary Care Behavioral Pediatrics?
Primary care behavioral pediatrics is a subspecialty of clinical behavior analysis, itself a specialty area within applied behavior analysis. Practitioners of this subspecialty collaborate with caregivers, educators, pediatricians, and pediatric specialists in addressing common problems of childhood such as bedtime and sleep challenges, anxiety, noncompliance and defiance, sibling conflict, picky eating, and toileting problems.
The Institute for Behavioral Pediatrics was founded to facilitate an increase in the availability of high-quality, science-based behavioral healthcare services for children and families in the United States and internationally, with a primary focus on training and support of behavior analysts within, and entering, the subspecialty.
An Amazon Best Seller in pediatrics, Introduction to Primary Care Behavioral Pediatrics is the first textbook for behavior analysts on the subspecialty and is now available on Amazon.com, Routledge.com, and anywhere books are sold!
