About

Dr. Heather A. Skriba is a leading researcher at the intersection of behavioral science and digital health, with a primary focus on the application of technology to expand access to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Her most impactful work, "Technology to Facilitate Telehealth in Applied Behavior Analysis," has garnered significant attention, accumulating over 26 citations and serving as a critical resource during the COVID-19 pandemic. This seminal contribution directly addressed the urgent need for remote service delivery when traditional, center-based ABA therapy—typically delivered face-to-face—was disrupted. Dr. Skriba’s research provides a practical framework for behavior analysts transitioning to telehealth, detailing the technological tools and protocols necessary to maintain effective, evidence-based interventions from a distance. Her work has not only shaped clinical practice during a global crisis but has also laid the groundwork for a more flexible, accessible future in behavioral health. By demonstrating that high-quality ABA can be delivered remotely, Dr. Skriba has expanded the reach of therapy to underserved populations, making her a pivotal figure in the modernization of applied behavior analysis.
