Since time immemorial BCBAs have looked at their seven-item array of candies and asked, âWhy canât I do a preference assessment with huge items or unavailable activities?â Well, now you can with pictorial and/or video-based preference assessments! But donât take my word for it. Or, do take my word for it, but my word paired with the word of all the research on the subject. And if youâre already using this technology in your preference assessments, shouldnât you better double-check that youâre actually following the evidence-based guidelines. Or did you just assume that the picture of hanging out with friends playing on the iPad must be equivalent to the real thing?

Though the steps involved in developing a good, evidence-based treatment plan are well documented on our podcast, what good is any of that hard work if the families you purport to use it with kinda, sorta hate your plan. Well, this week, rather than complaining about how unappreciated your procedures are, why not take a step back and ask yourself, âHow can I better learn from families I work with what will meet their needs?â We take a run down to explore the ever-confusing and complex world of family services, take a qualitative look at social validity in treatment planning, and review some key contexts that spell the difference between a good plan and a plan that works.

âWAZOWSKI! YOU DIDNâT FILE YOUR PAPERWORK LAST NIGHT!â is a line that resonates with all of us (and we make about 50 times in this episode). But, despite a fear of our own personal Rozes at work, most of us still tend to let those pesky piles of papers slip our minds as we go about the important business of being a behavior analyst (the direct helping of others). But, as with most skills, thereâs got to be a better way and, this week, we take that mantra all the way to the In Box with research on how you too can become a paperwork pushing master.

Weâre finishing up our two-part Listener Choice episodes highlighting tutorial articles that give you the âhow toâ when it comes to important BCBA skills. And if you enjoyed our episode on procedural integrity, youâre going to LOVE this tutorial all about using token economies. We dive into some token economy history, basic set up, application, and come to the conclusion that WEâVE BEEN DOING TOKEN ECONOMIES WRONG! Or, at least not as well as we could be.

Could this book actually save your marriage? Well, that's not really the point of it; however, we found a LOT to enjoy and reflect on in our discussion of "Divergent Minds" by Jenera Nerenberg, a broad look at adult female neurodiversity in the modern era. Just how much of our socialization process practically mandates masking behavior in autistic women? And what does it mean to an individual labeled "highly sensitive" when entering the workforce or family life? Join us as we take a look at five commonly identified neurodivergences and the experiences of the women learning to live in a world not designed for them.

While I doubt any of us would purposefully cheer on ableist behavior in our daily work, what if I told you that you may be secretly promoting ableism every single day? This week we do some tough reflection on the medical model that most of us work within and how it may inherently dismiss the environmental factors at play in determining the impact of disabilities on individualsâ lives. And while weâre boosters of the neurodiversity movement, is it possible that their critiques might be going too far in regards to ABA? Hot buttons will get pressed in this episode!

While most of us engage with goal writing, have you ever stopped to think whether the goals youâve proposed to your client areâŠpointless? If so, put down your bopy of â101 Great Trigonometry Objectivesâ and join us and special guest, Dr. Shanna Bahry, to explore resources for crafting goals with your clients that might actually lead them to a productive, happier adulthood. We review some useful tools from Dr. Bahry, some pointers for how to use (and NOT use) many popular assessments, and discuss where and when those trigonometry goals could meaningfully come into play. Yes, thereâs a time and place for every goal.

Since you can only get so far with surveys of how frequetly registered behavior technicians want to quit their jobs due to burnout, we wondered, is it possible to gather more relevant, actionable research questions? Enter Dr. Nicole Gravina who, with her colleagues, used qualitative analysis research design to dig deeper into more of the âwhysâ behind how burnout develops for RBTs in Florida, and what supervisors can do to help. Put down your calculators and get out your dictionaries for this episode: Weâre looking at words in research!

Maybe itâs the lousy Smarch weather, but weâre in a bit of a mood to start of this month. Not because our special guests arenât awesome. We had so much fun learning about qualitative analyses in exploring RBT burnout with Dr. Nicole Gravina and how to be more ethically responsible in creating meaningful goals for autistic adolescents and adults with Dr. Shanna Bahry. And not because weâre not reviewing tough issues like turnover in human services, deconstructing ableist practices in the medical model, and respectfully disagreeing with the abolitionist neurodiversity critique. Now that Iâm writing about all the awesome episodes coming out this month, I canât even remember why we sound so crabby.
Oh, rightâŠthe state of the United States political system. And rude emails.

Weâre pretty social people, and we love working with other professionals to support client outcomes. But weâve also learned that collaboration goes way beyond five-minute consult sessions and a few friendly emails. This week weâre bringing the research and our professional practice together to make a delicious cake of transdisciplinary goodness focusing on the ethics of great collaboration. Because whatâs a BCBA without friends?

As voted on by our patrons, a new (hopefully) long-running mini-series turning research directly into updated practice: Tutorial! This month, weâre looking at research to up your procedural integrity process. Just what should go into your PI checklists? How do you turn your observations into meaningful fidelity data instead of a series of âyesesâ and ânosâ? And just what good are training manuals, anyway? So, listen in! Your supervisees and clients will thank you.
This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

Join us on Patreon to get all of our episodes a week early, access to these bonus episodes, plus other goodies.
While we've covered acceptance and commitment therapy a few times before, we'd never really dug too deeply into exactly HOW ACT is behavior analytic. As in the exact mechanisms by which the fabulous steps of the hexaflex "work" as described in 100% behavioral terms. Now, thanks to our listeners (and book authors Dixon, Hayes, and Belisle), we can! Join us as we learn about ACT from theory to practice in our two-hour discusion of "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Behavior Analysts". Plus, you'll finally get to discover which branch of the hexaflex is our all-time favorite! Is it acceptance? Committed action? Self-as context? No, no one likes self-as context.
This episode is available for 2.0 LEARNING CEUs.

If podcasts are a box of chocolates and behavior analysis is flowers, I guess that makes you our Valentine. We kick off the shortest of months with a check-in with the crew and a review of whatâs coming out in time for Presidentâs Day. First, after a year in the vault, our last yearâs book club on ACT is unlocked and on the loose. Then the listenerâs take the stage with their vote for an episode on procedural integrity. Finally, we try something different with a brand new recording of one of our previous conference talks on the ethics of collaboration. Itâs like you were at the conferenceâŠbut now itâs a podcast episode!

Can you believe we made it all the way to episode 300? Well, we decided to cap off the event by revisiting a topic that was in the headlines way back when the three of us started in the field of behavior analysisâŠand sadly is STILL a topic of discussion: Vaccines and autism. And while the findings are in the title (they donât), we review the research as to why there is still any discussion on the matter and reflect on whether approaching the anti-vaccine debate from a purely scientific findings lens might be playing into an ableist narrative that paradoxically feeds the misinformation discourse.
Thanks to everyone for supporting our show for all these years (and special thanks to everyone who joined us at our live recording!).

Despite living more solidly in the psychology domain, Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) as a treatment for oppositional behaviors is increasingly moving into the mainstream. But does its attempts to change behavior patterns make it behavior analytic or something else? In this episode we look at a few of the earliest studies to evaluate the efficacy of CPS as well as some of the more recent publications on CPS as a treatment for challenging behavior and to discuss just what it is and whether you should be paying attention. But will we answer the key question: Is studying CPS an avenue of collaboration between behavior analysis and psychology or a watered-down version of older behavioral treatments?
