It’s amazing when our fields work together !

🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Jenee Johnson, Dr. Jason Travers, Dr. Kathleen Tuck, Dr. Pamela Neidert, and Dr. Heather Forbes on their recent publication:

“An Evaluation of Urine Alarms in Intensive Toilet Training Programs” 👏👏👏

This important study contributes to our understanding of how urine-detecting alarms impact toileting success in young children with autism. Using an alternating treatments design, the authors explored the effects of audible and inaudible alarms during intensive toilet training. While results were undifferentiated across conditions, the study raises critical questions about behavior irreversibility, the necessity of restrictive procedures, and real-world applications in settings with lower adult support.

📄 A preprint of the article is available now on Dr. Johnson’s ResearchGate:

We’re thrilled to see such thoughtful, ethical, and clinically relevant research led by this incredible team of behavior analysts and interdisciplinary scholars!

We are excited to share plans for the Community Care and Education Center (CCEC) — a centralized hub that will bring together SIU’s vital behavioral and mental health services in one accessible location.

This innovative facility will unite the Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders, Evaluation and Developmental Center, Clinical Center, and Project 12-Ways, making it easier for individuals and families across Southern Illinois to get the support they need.

“These programs are doing great work for the community, and they bring a lot of positive attention to SIU,” said Interim Director Kelly Powers.

The CCEC will enhance our ability to provide research-driven, compassionate care while addressing critical behavioral and mental health needs throughout the region.

Our goal is to raise $5 million to renovate University Hall into a welcoming, state-of-the-art space for therapy, research, and community collaboration.

With your support, we can create a center that not only improves lives but also trains the next generation of health and human service professionals.

Together, we can make this vision a reality. Stay tuned for updates and opportunities to get involved.
