Specializations: Behavior analysis as it pertains to children, families, disability and community affairs. Brandon F. Greene is a Professor in the Behavior Analysis and Therapy Program. He received degrees from the University of Alabama (B.S., 1973), the University of Kansas (M.A., 1975) and Florida State University (Ph.D., 1979). Brandon's professional career began at Partlow State School in the wake of the landmark case, Wyatt vs. Stickney, that established a right to treatment for persons with mental retardation and other disabilities. Brandon's research, teaching and service activities involve the application of behavior analysis as it pertains to a broad range of populations (children, families, persons with disabilities) and issues (child abuse and neglect, education, home and community safety, staff and organizational management). He has published extensively and has worked for, or consulted with, a variety of organizations that are concerned with similar issues including human service agencies, schools, federal courts, and Ralph Nader's Center for Study of Responsive Law. Brandon co-founded the Behavior Analysis Society of Illinois (BASIL), a state chapter of the Association of Behavior Analysis dedicated to promoting the effective and ethical application of behavior analysis in human services, business and industry. Brandon coordinates Project 12-Ways, a program that provides behavioral intervention and support services to families with a history of child abuse and neglect and families who may be at risk for acquiring such a history. The project has expended approximately $11,000,000, has served over 2,000 families, and supported and trained approximately 130 graduate students since its inception in 1979.  Brandon teaches courses in Staff Training and Development, and a seminar in child abuse and neglect.
