Finally, break out the smocks and easels because we wrap up the fall with a listener’s choice episode about behavioral artistry. So, join us by the fire with your leftover Halloween candy as we podcast into the night (or morning or whenever you want to listen).

    Episode 291 - (ETHICS) Discussing Ethical Scenarios w/ How To ABA

    · ABA Inside Track

    It sure does seem like no matter how much we learn about ethics, there are always new ethical problems cropping up with complex solutions. At times like these, it’s great to have resources to fall back on and, with the help of Shayna Gaunt and Shira Karpel from How to ABA, there aren’t many conundrums that can get past us. This week, we discuss ethical systems, the best BCBAs, and possible solutions to real-life ethical problems from listeners. Because it’s always good to have ethics friends!

    Coming from a land down under, we’re joined this week by Dr. Erin Leif who shares the trials and tribulations that come from navigating the growing field of ABA in Australia. And, in the middle of all that, stops to teach us about practices that we can all use to better uphold the rights of people with disabilities as well as what to do when your best efforts don’t quite cut the kangaroo.

    Bonus Episode 34 - Why Behavior Analysts Should Study Attendance: The Example of School Refusal

    · ABA Inside Track

    School seems to be even worse than ever post-pandemic. And students are showing their opinion by
not going. In this recording of our live presentation from last year’s Thompson Center for Autism Conference, we review the history of school attendance problems as well as the basics of treatment for this increasingly dire problem. And how behavior analysts can guarantee a seat at the treatment table by doing what we do best: Understand human behavior! Thanks once again to our friends at the Thompson Center for Autism for giving us the opportunity to share on this important topic.

    Episode 1015 - (SUPERVISION) Discipline Without Punishment Book Club

    · ABA Inside Track

    We wrap up Supervision September with a new Book Club all talking to your staff about discipline. Sure, we’re all fans of BST, meaningful reinforcement contingencies in the workplace, and helpful environmental arrangments when it comes to helping supervisees and employees do their best work. But when is it appropriate to stop being polite and to start being real? While we may not agree with everything in Dick Grote’s business supervision book, it sure was nice to have someone draw the line when supervisors have done everything they can and supervisees need to take responsibility for their own behavior. Looking at you BCBA who just took five consecutive three-day weekends.

    · ABA Inside Track

    We’re continuing Supervision September with a look into the future of supervision: Remotely supervising others from the comfort of your own home. Or, at least, it seemed like a futuristic skill five or six years ago. But even though we’re all comfortable with Zoom-ing into an appointment, does that make us capable of effectively supervising staff and trainees using the same modalities? We look at some of the common barriers encountered in remote supervision work, some solutions to overcome them, and some tips for how to bring everything together to create meaningful and effective supervision activities.

    Hooray! It’s Supervision September! And our first supervision episode is all about the soft skills. But that doesn’t make teaching them easy!

    Despite strong evidence as to the efficacy of ABA services in supporting meaningful outcomes of clients across a number of relevant dimensions, do we actually know if the ABA service industry is actually any good? This week we dive into the paucity of research on measuring and developing quality ABA services and discuss whether the business of ABA is anywhere near as good as the science of ABA at solving meaningful problems. Hot take: It’s probably not!

    We just wanna say to you all tonight, we’re very, very grateful to be here. A lot of people told us that we’d never podcast about behavior analysis again and that's all we do.

    You know, if you live hard and play hard and you burn the candle at both ends, you pay the price for it.

    You know in this life you can lose everything that you love, everything that loves you."

    Now we don't hear as good as we used to, and we forget stuff. And we ain't as pretty as we used to be. But darn it, we’re still standing here and we’re "ABA Inside Track."

    You know as time goes by -- as time goes by, they say:

    "We’re washed up."

    “We’re finished.”

    “We’re losers.”

    “We’re all through.”

    You know what? The only one that's going to tell us when we’re through doing our thing is you people here.

    You people here -- You people here are the ones who are worth bringing it for because you're our family.

    We love all of you!

    Thank you so much!

We talk for over two hours about the historical context, plot, and our impressions of this optimistic view of how behavior science might just be able to save the world from your own backyard. Plus, Rob makes a potentially groundbreaking discovery about Skinner’s comic-book collection. Come for the four-hour workdays, stay for the 50 amateur piano concertos!

    Good public speaking is more than cutting “ummmm” from your vocabulary. You need hand movements, good visuals, and panache. But is public speaking style a one-size fits all phenomenon? This week special guest Mandy Ralston adds her voice to that of a panel of expert public speakers to review what works in effective dissemation and what to avoid like the plague. “Reading from your PowerPoint slides”, I’m looking at you!

    A list of top readings on a topic as important as diversity, equity, and inclusion for BCBAs? Sign me up! This week Dr. Anita Li brings us just that
or at least as much as an essential list can be created at this moment in research history. Plus, we discuss DEI trends in publications for Latina women in ABA research and what this does (and doesn’t!) mean about the field bringing more voices to the table.

  • Episode 282 - Protection Factors in Trauma-Informed Practice w/ Dr. Camille Kolu

    Episode 282 - Protection Factors in Trauma-Informed Practice w/ Dr. Camille Kolu

    · ABA Inside Track

    We knew we had to have special guest, Dr. Camille Kolu, on the show when we heard her amazing talk about buffers at last year’s Thompson Center conference. This week, our wish comes true as we discuss how buffers can contribute to our focus on improving trauma-informed practices. But, what exactly is a buffer and how does it differ from other buzzwords circling trauma-informed treatments? And is there such a thing as an evergreen TIC playbook that clinicians should be using for every client ? Spoiler: That treatment you assume must be universally trauma-informed probably isn’t!

  • Episode 281 - Neurodiversity - Creating Autistic Supported Goals w/ Dr. Kate Chazin

    Episode 281 - Neurodiversity - Creating Autistic Supported Goals w/ Dr. Kate Chazin

    · ABA Inside Track

    We wrap up our trilogy (for now) of episodes focusing on neurodiversity with special guest, Dr. Kate Chazin to look at what survey research and meta-analyses can tell us about how ABA is currently doing as a treatment when it comes to hearing from the autistic population. We review the likes, the dislikes, and the unknowns in early-childhood ABA programing from client to community then gather more detail on an area that all of us are feeling iffy about: The need for escape extinction in behavioral treatments.
