A review of the main events related to the origin and establishment of behavior analysis in Colombia is introduced in this paper, including its impact and development measured by the presence of this approach in the curricula of the universities, the existence of laboratories and research groups, publications, and presentations in academic events. Then, from these issues, a local perspective is presented. For such aim, a review was carried out of texts and articles published; in addition, interviews were made to scholars whose intellectual production has contributed to the development and maintenance of theoretical, basic and applied behavior analysis in Colombia.
