"I am honored and excited to have this opportunity to share my research with the ACJS community," Garcia said. "I hope that my work can inspire other researchers and practitioners to apply behavior analysis to address this complex and challenging issue."
Garcia is supervised by Dr. Kimberly Crosland, a professor in the Applied Behavior Analysis program at USF. Dr. Crosland praised Garcia's achievements and expressed her support for his presentation.
"Arturo is an outstanding student and researcher who has a passion for applying behavior analysis to solve real-world problems," Dr. Crosland said.
