Dr. Bailey Devine is a behavior analyst & is the Founder and President of Behavior Experts of Texas; a 501c3 dedicated to disseminating all things behavior analytic to the DFW Texas community. She is currently working with her colleagues at Behavior Experts of Texas to raise start-up funds to open a non-profit private school to serve children with disabilities in Texas by embedding behavior analytic principles into all aspects of the educational environment. You can learn more about this passion project here.
In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Devine actively conducts research in behavior and psychology. She is especially interested in understanding what makes some individuals capable of learning from & altering their behavior based on scientific evidence, and others seemingly immune to scientific evidence. Although she has not conducted research on this particular topic yet, she hopes to find related opportunities in the future.
In her free time, Dr. Devine considers herself an athlete and likes to lift weights, figure skate, and ride her bicycle. In college she received a scholarship for her springboard diving & she has always valued her health & her bodies’ ability to move in unique ways. Masking is her favorite health precaution because she is aware of the impact that just one SARS-COV-2 infection can have, and she wants to keep her body healthy for years to come so she can continue to enjoy sport & serve her community! Dr. Devine’s main goal with MaskTogetherAmerica is to show other athletes that masking does not have to impede their ability to train, and that their bodies & brains are worth protecting! Being fit does not make you immune to the lasting damage that viruses can cause.
