I’ve been asked a number of times about the origin of the name of this project/organization, so here is why we are “VB3″:

We are interested in the intersection of Skinnerian verbal behavior with third wave behavior analysis –specifically synthesizing Skinnerian VB and Relational Frame Theory, as well as applications of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to working with children with autism and their families and service providers.

Our business/organizational model is also very much third wave –we embrace open-source style collaboration and learning communities, we focus on flexibly working towards our values, and we thrive in the informal, chaotic, anytime/anywhere working environment that comes with the creative process (and multiple time zones!).

And besides all that… three, it’s a magic number.
