Q&A with Dr. Fienup Director of Programs for ABA @ Teachers College, Columbia University

Daniel Fienup

Program Director for Applied Behavioral Analysis

Teachers College, Columbia University

"My area of expertise is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I have a keen interest in education and educational performance, including the design and evaluation of instructional variables that lead to positive educational outcomes. I am deeply curious about multiple effective instructional strategies and determining which strategies require fewer resources (e.g., time, effort). This work has included populations with typical development and individuals with developmental delays and age groups spanning from young children to adults.  Specific topics that I have researched include concept learning (stimulus equivalence), complex behavior chains, the arrangement of learning opportunities and reinforcer magnitude, and mastery learning." - Dr. Fienup
