Why We Started BARC
Behavior analysts spend countless hours creating materials, refining systems, and searching for quality resources. Time that could be spent with clients, supervising, or maintaining balance. We created this platform to provide thoughtfully designed, field-tested resources made by BCBAs, for BCBAs, so you can spend less time reinventing the wheel and more time delivering meaningful, ethical, and effective services.
Who Is Behind the Scenes of BARC?
Hallie Ertel
Co-Founder
I began my journey in Applied Behavior Analysis in 2014 at the New England Center for Children, where I developed a deep appreciation for high-quality, compassionate, evidence-based care. I earned my M.S. in Applied Behavior Analysis and Organizational Behavior Management from the Florida Institute of Technology in 2017, and later completed my doctorate in behavior analysis there in 2020. During that time, I also had the privilege of working in the behavioral health department at Nemours Children's Hospital. I currently own a clinical behavior analysis company, Atlantic Coast ABA, and have the pleasure of working with the greatest group of BCBA’s and RBT’s. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how much time and heart behavior analysts pour into creating materials, refining systems, and ensuring the very best outcomes for the families they serve. I’ve also experienced the late nights and the “there has to be a better way” moments that so many of us share. This resource platform was created from that shared experience, a space built by BCBAs, for BCBAs. My hope is to make your work a little lighter by providing thoughtfully designed, field-informed tools that you can trust. When we support each other and share what works, our entire field grows stronger. At the heart of everything I do is a passion for disseminating the science of ABA in ways that are practical, ethical, and meaningful not just for our clients, but for the clinicians doing the work every day. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, reading, running, and taking trips to the beach!

How are my products protected from being duplicated, shared, or copied?
When users sign up on BARC, they agree to our terms and conditions (Link HERE). Based on this agreement, legally others are not allowed to copy, reproduce, redistribute, duplicate, or share, resources. However, there are a few things we recommend doing as extra precautions.
· Adding a watermark to your resources may discourage people from copying the resource.
· Some sellers also include a page with their resources stating that they my not be resold, distributed, or duplicated without the consent of the seller.
· In BARC, you have an option to limit the number of times the buyer clicks and downloads your resource. When they purchase a resource, they will receive a link in their email.
· There is also an option to adjust how long the resource is available to download. We have ours set to 1 year so that email link with the resource will be available or work for 1 year after purchase. You can set this to whatever amount of time you want.
We hope these tips help. If you have any further questions while setting up your shop and resources, feel free to reach out to us.
