Insight Global Initiative Aims to Bring Behavior Analysis Support to Remote Parts of Brazil
In early 2024, Insight established Global Initiative, its nonprofit branch, with the goal of providing sustainable training methods in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), modern equipment, technology, curriculum, and other resources to educators, practitioners, families, and caregivers in under-serviced and under-resourced communities.
Initially, our work in Brazil began when Dr. Liliane De Aguiar-Rocha of The Behavior Web, an organization that offers online and in-person training, supervision, consulting, and accredited continuing education courses for BCBAs in English and Portuguese, invited members of Insight to present at the The Behavior Web’s 2nd International Conference in Manaus. The event featured national and international speakers, including, most notably, keynote speaker Dr. William Heward, offering presentations in the field of ABA and its application through the theme “ABA for a Better World: Environment, Relationships, and World.”
At this conference, Jeremy Meduri, founder and CEO of Insight, and Dr. Liliane De Aguiar-Rocha, CEO of The Behavior Web, created a partnership with our organizations. Insight Global Initiative committed to provide sustainable support to help further the dissemination of behavior analysis internationally. Out of this partnership came the Global Innovators ABA Scholarship.
The Global Innovators ABA Scholarship offers greater access and equity for professional development in ABA to Portuguese speaking practitioners. Insight Global Initiative will offer funding awards of various amounts to cover the cost of The Behavior Web courses. This partnership is aimed to increase opportunities for students and practitioners of behavior analysis who demonstrate financial need, have less access to quality training, and show the greatest impact potential. We recently awarded our first scholarship to Nicolly Latorre and look forward to supporting many more students in their behavior analytic journey.
Insight Global Initiative continues to collaborate with the The Behavior Web by participating in trainings and offering workshops on various topics in behavior analysis, mental health, and education. We work closely with The Behavior Web to ensure that all trainings are developed with cultural awareness and understanding and strive to bring access to best practices and compassionate work internationally.
However, we cannot do this work alone.
Our programs rely on generous friends, members, corporate partners, and like-minded organizations. We hope you will join them in making a profound impact on our organization’s future. Insight Global Initiative funds its operations, so every penny of your donations goes toward our mission.
