💙💛 October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month!

At Women in Behavior Analysis, we celebrate people with Down syndrome—their voices, perspectives, accomplishments, and contributions to our communities.

Awareness is a starting point. Inclusion means creating opportunities to learn, work, build relationships, make choices, and pursue personally meaningful goals.

As behavior analysts, we can help by listening to people with Down syndrome, respecting their autonomy, supporting self-advocacy, and partnering on goals that matter to them.

This October—and every month—let’s challenge stereotypes, recognize individuality, and help build communities where everyone belongs. 💙💛

🌟 Five remarkable women. Generations of impact.

Published today in Behavior Analysis in Practice, “The Women in Behavior Analysis Hall of Fame: 2023 Inductees” celebrates five trailblazers whose scholarship, leadership, advocacy, and mentorship helped shape our field:

✨ Janet Ellis — Expanded behavior analysis into schools, correctional settings, and online education while championing students and women in the profession.

✨ Judith LeBlanc — Advanced meaningful, practical education and international collaboration, helping people with disabilities build independence and participate in their communities.

✨ Sigrid Glenn — Pioneered cultural behavior analysis and helped establish the University of North Texas’s Department of Behavior Analysis.

✨ Jan Sheldon — Connected behavioral science and law to champion individual rights, personal choice, and stronger communities.

✨ Maria Ruiz — Brought feminism and radical behaviorism into conversation, advancing scholarship focused on equity and social justice.

Across their different paths, these women shared a commitment to improving lives and creating opportunities for those who followed. Their stories remind us why recognizing women’s contributions—and preserving their legacies—matters. 💜

Today, we recognize Women’s Equality Day and celebrate the voices, achievements, leadership, and impact of women everywhere. 💗

At Women in Behavior Analysis, we are proud to be part of a community that elevates women, creates opportunities for connection and leadership, and honors the women whose work continues to shape the science and practice of behavior analysis.

Equality means more than recognizing progress—it means continuing to advocate for opportunities, representation, respect, and a seat at the table.

Here’s to the women who came before us, the women leading today, and the women who will shape what comes next. 💪✨

Rest in peace. What an icon. ❤️
