About Me
Dr. Falligant earned his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Auburn University, where he currently serves as an assistant professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences. He previously held the ranks of assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and senior behavior analyst in the Neurobehavioral Unit at the Kennedy Krieger Institute.
His clinical work focuses on the functional assessment and treatment of challenging behavior among children, adolescents, and young adults with neurodevelopmental disorders. His research emphasizes concepts and methods grounded in translational behavior science, aiming to bridge the gap between basic behavioral research and applied practice. This involves the fine-grained analysis of behavioral events, including the microstructure of behavior and its dynamics, and coalesces around neurobehavioral variables underlying dysfunction, persistence, and change.
Dr. Falligant’s research is supported by the National Institutes of Health, the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation, and the Cornelia de Lange Syndrome Foundation. He is the 2025 recipient of the B.F. Skinner Foundation New Researcher Award from the American Psychological Association.
