00:00-20:00: Moses and the Doctor: Two Men, One Championship, and the Birth of Modern Basketball author Luke Epplin chats about why Dr. J and Moses Malone were eventually the perfect pair apart and together, the ABA and NBA clash, how Moses was perfect for Philadelphia, the mystique of Dr. J before he actually arrived, how important the 76ers' title was to the city of Philadelphia at that time, why both players deserve way more credit as pioneers and more.

In this episode of Behaviour Speak, I speak with Zornitsa Ivanova, the first board certified behaviour analyst living and working in Bulgaria. Zornitsa shares her journey from special education and child psychology into applied behaviour analysis (ABA), and what it has been like introducing evidence-based autism intervention in a country where the field barely existed a decade ago. From translating ABA resources into Bulgarian to helping train the next generation of practitioners, Zornitsa is helping build the foundation for behaviour analysis in Eastern Europe. If you're interested in global behaviour analysis, autism services, or the international expansion of ABA, this conversation offers a fascinating look at what it takes to grow a field from the ground up. This episode is presented by our founding academic partner, the Doctor of Education in the field of Applied Behaviour Analysis program at Western University's Faculty of Education.  Watch the video: https://youtu.be/MDgZN7MROEY Program Information: https://www.edu.uwo.ca/graduate-education/edd/applied-behaviour-analysis.html How to apply: https://www.edu.uwo.ca/graduate-education/apply.html Program brochure: https://www.edu.uwo.ca/graduate-education/edd/foe120_edd_aba_r1.png   Continuing Education Credits (https://www.cbiconsultants.com/shop) BACB: 0.5 Ethics IBAO:  0.5 Cultural QABA: 0.5 General CBA/CPD:    0.5 Cultural Diversity   Follow us!

Should the Giants upgrade their running back room? Evan and Tiki explain why adding a proven talent like Kenneth Walker would instantly make the team better and why concerns about the salary cap are wildly overblown. With the Giants currently spending almost nothing on the position, bringing in another back would barely impact their financial flexibility. The guys also dive into why some Giants fans are hesitant. Is it lingering Saquon Barkley PTSD, confusion about how the salary cap works, or simply being too attached to young players already on the roster? Ultimately, the argument is simple: if adding a player helps you win, the decision should be easy. Plus, a fun detour into basketball history as a caller recommends a documentary on the ABA and Dr. J, sparking a conversation about how the ABA changed the NBA, the iconic red-white-and-blue basketball, and painful memories of the Nets' 2003 NBA Finals loss.

A new season of Child Care Rockstar Radio begins with Jennifer Conner, CEO of the Child Care Success company, stepping in as host! Jennifer shares the real behind-the-scenes of her own journey: buying a struggling center, realizing "love and passion" alone won't sustain a business long-term, and learning how systems, finances, and leadership create the stability that protects your mission. Then Jennifer welcomes  Michael Ingram, a legacy child care leader and school owner with multi-generational roots, to talk about the kind of leadership growth that doesn't show up on an org chart. Michael reflects on moving from defensiveness to connection, mentorship and choosing community over isolation, and learning how to create space. Michael also shares how mentorship changed his leadership, and why being the one everyone calls for answers can be a signal that it's time to find your own room of mentors.    Key Takeaways: [1:10] Jennifer shares her journey from childcare owner to building a strong leadership team and moving to Mexico. [1:25] She highlights how systems, finances, and leadership are critical to a sustainable childcare business. [2:28] Jennifer talks about shifting from running schools remotely to becoming a coach and CEO rooted in love for children and families. [9:32] Michael reflects on taking feedback too personally early on and learning to get comfortable with discomfort. [16:20] Michael explains how stepping aside from his own ego and seeking mentorship transformed his leadership. [20:22] He describes his school's model, which includes on-site OT, speech, and ABA therapy for children with higher needs. [22:31] The challenges that Michael faces in his school, and how he works to overcome them.  [26:02] Michael's passion for advocacy and advice for someone who wants to get involved but doesn't exactly know how.  [29:11] Finding the right group that advocates for your cause.  [31:17] QTIP - Quit Taking It Personal, and how Michael learned to not take things so personally.  [35:23] Learning how to give and take space as a leader, and embracing the mantra "just for today".    Quotes: "The version of you that started your center isn't necessarily the version of you that sustains it or carries it forward." [4:44] - Jennifer    "I had to get out of the way of knowing all the answers and allow the people who I am here to serve and work with to help me figure out those answers." [10:05] – Michael    "Where there's uncomfortability, that's where growth is. You know, that's the innovation of growth. And so, I had to be comfortable with being uncomfortable." [11:04] - Michael    "You just have to embrace the uncomfortability, and then you can step into greatness." [11:20] - Michael    "We are doing great things, and we are ready to accept families and support families where they're at. And I think when you have a voice, and you use that voice, other people often will hear it, and it will energize them to rally around a cause that you're passionate about."

In this solo episode, April Smith takes a direct and nuanced look at burnout in the ABA industry, and challenges the way we talk about it. Rather than accepting burnout as an inevitable byproduct of leadership, April explores the illusion of burnout and how it shows up specifically for ABA business owners. She unpacks the subtle ways leaders can feel trapped: by their standards of excellence, by financial pressure, and by the belief that exhaustion is simply “part of the job.” This episode goes beyond surface-level self-care advice. April examines how a lack of operational options—limited margin, no leadership depth, unclear systems—creates the emotional experience we label as burnout. When you don't have choices, everything feels heavy. When you can't step away, every problem feels personal. If you're an ABA owner who feels constantly behind, stretched thin, or questioning the reason you built your business, this conversation will resonate. Have a question for Stephen and April?

Plus a Book Club! We kick the month off with some special guests including Dr. Kathleen Feeley who brings us up to speed on supporting children with Down syndrome using ABA methodology, and friend of the show, Dr. Casey Clay, who shows us how to extend preference assessment technology to the social interaction realms. Finally, we wrap up our regular episodes with a dip into OBM by reviewing the research on using public posting to improve employee performance. Then, our Spring Book Club sprouts with a very timely discussion of "The Anxious Generation" by Johnathan Haidt with Book Club Guy, Alan Haberman.

In the early 1970s, playground courts across the United States were jammed with hoops buffs experimenting with showy moves and aerial shots that were changing the look and feel of a sport once stubbornly earthbound. Out of this scene emerged a pair of incomparable yet dissimilar streetball sensations both of whom would make their name in the American Basketball Association, an upstart professional league characterized as much by flamboyance as invention. Julius Erving, better known as Dr. J, became a mythical figure whose airborne acrobatics inspired an army of high-flying acolytes. Moses Malone, a down-and-dirty banger, scrambled basketball apprenticeships forever by skipping directly from high school to the pros.In the 1980s, Erving and Malone switches leagues, won MVPs, shattered records, and led their respective clubs into the playoff's championship round. But one prize eluded them: an NBA title. After suffering perennial defeat at the hands of Magic Johnson's Los Angeles Lakers and Larry Bird's Boston Celtics, the two eventually joined forces on the Philadelphia 76ers, blending their contrasting talents into a seamless whole. Together, Erving and Malone set out to accomplish what no other NBA team fronted by ex-ABA superstars had managed.An enthralling social history as well as an uplifting underdog story, Moses and the Doctor, intimately chronicles the hopes and heartbreaks of two basketball legends who revolutionized what was possible on the ground and in the air and fueled one of the most thrilling and momentous championship seasons ever.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Join Gabrielle Kohlmeier—ABA Commissioner on Women, ex-Verizon Global Head of Legal Innovation & Emerging Solutions, and a leading voice on responsible AI governance and adoption—and Tamara Kraljic, Counsel at Hughes Hubbard & Reed and a leader with the Women's Bar Association of DC, for an International Women's Day conversation on why we all need to be AI literate and how the ABA's 21 Days of AI: A Grit and Growth Mindset Challenge helps move us forward. This episode explores why AI fluency is becoming essential for legal professionals (and everyone!), and how the ABA's bite-sized daily practice Challenge helps lawyers build confidence using AI safely and thoughtfully—even in cautious or regulated environments. We also discuss why closing the gender gap in AI adoption matters: women need to be in that conversation not as a matter of symbolic inclusion but because the quality and equity of the outcomes depend on it.Please note, the positions and opinions expressed by the speakers are strictly their own, and do not necessarily represent the views of their employers, nor those of the D.C.

After three brutal weeks bedridden from a self-inflicted back explosion that turned a minor pull into pure agony, Opie is finally sitting up and firing on all cylinders again. He breaks down the couch stretch gone wrong, the two-week bedroom prison (no bathroom trips, fingertip push-ups to roll over), his Olympic snoozefest, getting obsessed with Alone S11, the insane ABA documentary, Phil Hendry's genius, and the Blood Sweat & Tears Nixon tour disaster. Hit play for raw, hilarious, zero-filter comeback gold — and yes, the Ron the Waiter drama is next. Welcome back, bitches.

Financial expert Peter Grandich discusses the precarious state of the American economy, emphasizing his deeply bearish outlook on the stock market. He argues that the middle class is eroding due to unsustainable debt, while a small elite holds the vast majority of wealth. Grandich expresses skepticism toward Bitcoin and AI, viewing them as speculative bubbles, while favoring gold and silver as essential assets for capital preservation. Beyond finance, he warns of increasing social and political division in the United States, highlighting risks such as civil unrest and demographic shifts. Ultimately, he encourages a philosophy of “less is more” and a return to faith to navigate a future defined by economic decline.

In 2013, Grandich founded the Athletes & Business Alliance (ABA), a private organization of professional athletes and business executives who exchange ideas and build relationships with an emphasis on capitalizing on the talents of all involved. A symbiotic organization, ABA is a network of accomplished individuals in an environment where one can develop personal associations with a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business. The ABA boasts a select membership of diverse senior-level executives, high net worth business owners, and both active and retired pro athletes. By invitation only, high-level corporate and business decision-makers and prominent athletes intermingle. To achieve success, businesses must utilize effective marketing tools, secure new customers to generate repeat business and provide superior customer service that engenders loyalty. The ABA provides an environment to do this and more. In late 2020, Peter closed all professional athlete related business. Peter Grandich currently resides in New Jersey with his wife, Mary, and they have one daughter, Tara. *Podcast intro music used with permission is from the song “The Queens Jig” by the fantastic “Musicke & Mirth” from their album “Music for Two Lyra Viols”: http://musicke-mirth.de/en/recordings.html (available on iTunes or Amazon)

What if we could safely practice real-world situations before our students ever experience them?In this episode, I'm joined by Marsha and Rita from Floreo to talk about how virtual reality is supporting autistic learners in building social, communication, safety, and life skills. Floreo is a VR platform that allows learners to step into immersive environments like airport security lines, grocery stores, and even digital conversations, all while being coached in real time by a therapist, teacher, or parent.What I love most is how functional these lessons are. From responding to TSA questions to recognizing red flags in online interactions, these scenarios reflect the real challenges our students face. We also discuss the growing research behind VR-assisted therapy, including published studies showing improvements in social skills and skill maintenance.We talk through how VR can fit naturally into speech therapy and ABA sessions, with pre-teaching, guided practice, and generalization built in. Plus, we cover funding options, including school-based access and the temporary VR-assisted therapy billing modifier 0770T.Technology is powerful when it's clinically driven, and this conversation highlights how innovation can truly empower our learners.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:How VR supports social, communication, and life skillsResearch behind VR-assisted therapyWays to integrate VR into speech and ABA sessionsMentioned In This Episode:FloreoVREarn CEUs with a community of peers.

Everyone is talking about the future of ABA, but when we really sit down and think about it, many of the “new” ideas have actually been building for years . So what does future-ready ABA actually look like in real, everyday practice?In this episode, we explore how our field is growing up. We talk about expanding ABA beyond clinic walls and into schools, systems, organizations, and communities. We reflect on what compassion really means at 4:45 p.m. when staff are exhausted and safety is a concern. And we dive into the role of AI and technology, and how it can reduce burnout and administrative burden without replacing clinical thinking or humanity.We also discuss what supervision must look like moving forward. It is not just about competency checklists. It is about building clinical reasoning, ethical decision-making, and sustainable practices that support both clients and clinicians.The future of ABA is not something that just happens. It starts with how we practice, supervise, and prioritize today.What's Inside:What “future-ready” ABA actually means in day-to-day practiceExpanding ABA beyond traditional clinical settingsUsing AI and technology without losing humanityBuilding clinical reasoning and sustainable supervision modelsMentioned in This Episode:Ethics CEU: The Future of ABA: Building Clinical Judgement and CompassionEpisode 203: Balancing Safety and Compassion in InterventionsHowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

One of the most compelling stories in American professional sports is the rise of the American Basketball Association or the ABA. Founded in 1967, the ABA emerged as a rival to the NBA, which had become predictable and stale. The ABA emerged as a flamboyant contrast.  Fans packed tiny gyms to watch the ABA shatter NBA norms, showcasing epic afros, brilliant dunks, a three-point shot, and an iconic red, white, and blue ball.

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Claire Samuels, a proud Autistic speech-language pathologist whose journey to self-recognition unfolded inside the very system she would later question.Claire began her career as a Registered Behaviour Technician (RBT) in the ABA industry, believing what she was told: that ABA was the gold standard for Autistic children. She loved the kids she worked with and believed she was making a positive impact. But as she read autistic voices, learned about interoception, and began recognising her own sensory and regulatory differences, cracks in the framework began to show.Together, Angela and Claire explore ABA, nuance, Autistic self-recognition, masking, sensory processing, burnout, and what it means to move from compliance-based therapy to connection-based communication.This episode is about shifting lenses, from behaviour to nervous systems, from control to connection, and from moral judgment to regulation.

This week, we're joined by Dr. Shulamite Green, an Assistant Professor at UCLA and licensed clinical psychologist specializing in autism, sensory processing, and neurodevelopmental conditions. She leads the UCLA SCAN lab, where her research focuses on how the brain processes sensory information during adolescence. Today, we'll discuss her findings and how they're shaping new interventions.

In this episode of The Behavioral View, Nissa Van Etten, Olivia Teal, Elizabeth Barajas, and Yagnesh Vadgama discuss the evolution of outcomes-based care within applied behavior analysis (ABA). Drawing from extensive experience in both clinical practice and payer systems, Vadgama outlines the differences between traditional fee-for-service models and outcomes-based care frameworks. The panel explores how standardized assessments, aggregate data analysis, and empirically supported dosing recommendations can create greater alignment between providers and payers while maintaining individualized clinical decision-making. The discussion addresses administrative burden, prior authorization processes, value-based payment arrangements, caregiver involvement, social determinants of health, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Emphasis is placed on transparency, data-driven decision making, and protecting the integrity of behavior analytic practice while demonstrating measurable outcomes at both the individual and population levels. This course provides practical insight into how outcomes-based care models may shape the future of ABA service delivery.

Send a textWhat does it take for behavior analysts to make a real impact in classrooms—not just on paper, but in the day-to-day reality teachers face?In this episode, Dr. Paulie sits down with Neelima Duncan, CEO of Blue Sky Behavior Therapy, an organization that provides clinical services and partners directly with schools to support educators and students. The conversation grew out of a leadership moment that caught Dr. Paulie's attention—staff speaking about their CEO with pride, respect, and ownership. That kind of culture doesn't happen by accident. It reflects leadership that shows up in behavior.From there, the discussion moves into the heart of the work: how behavior analysts can effectively consult in classrooms, support teachers without overwhelming them, and help schools build systems that actually improve student outcomes.This is a practical conversation about the intersection of ABA, education, and leadership—where technical knowledge meets real-world constraints.In This Episode, You'll LearnHow Blue Sky Behavior Therapy partners with schools to support classroom successWhy the effectiveness of a leader—or a consultant—is reflected in the behavior of the people they supportWhat behavior analysts must understand about classroom realities before recommending interventionsHow to work with teachers as partners rather than positioning yourself as the outside expertWhy simple, practical strategies that produce quick wins drive implementationHow strong leadership inside organizations translates into better support for schools and studentsKey ThemesLeadership You Can See The true measure of leadership is found in how staff behave, speak, and engage when the leader isn't in the room.Consultation That Builds Capacity The goal is not to create dependence on the behavior analyst. The goal is to help teachers feel confident, capable, and successful managing their own classrooms.Context Drives Implementation Interventions only work when they fit the time, demands, and pressures teachers are already navigating.Behavior Is the Common Language Whether you are a teacher, a school leader, or a CEO, performance, culture, and outcomes all come back to behavior and the contingencies shaping it.About the GuestNeelima Duncan is the founder and CEO of Blue Sky Behavior Therapy, an organization providing ABA services across clinic and school settings. Blue Sky partners with educators to deliver practical, classroom-based behavioral support while building systems that improve outcomes for both students and staff. Website: blueskybx.comWho Should ListenSchool-based BCBAs and behavior specialistsSpecial education directors and district leadersTeachers working with behavioral consultantsOrganizations providing ABA services in school settingsAnyone responsible for improving classroom behavior and instructional timeWhy This Conversation MattersSchools don't need more programs. They need support that fits real classrooms. When behavior analysts understand the environment, build relationships, and focus on practical impact, consultation becomes a powerful tool for improving both student behavior and teacher confidence.Click here to explore the Parent & Care Giving Courses today!

If AAC has ever felt intimidating, you are not alone, and this episode is going to give you a clear, practical path forward.In this conversation, I sat down with Gabriella Wendling, an AAC specialist who has dedicated her entire career to assistive technology and augmentative communication. We talk honestly about how most of us received minimal AAC training in graduate school and how real confidence comes from experience, collaboration, and ongoing learning.We walk through what AAC evaluations actually look like, including timelines, feature matching, and access considerations like switches and eye gaze. Gabriella explains why getting the device is only the first step and why delays are often related to funding, not clinician performance.One of my favorite parts of this episode is our discussion about what happens after the device arrives. Gabriella shares her coaching-based model for training communication partners, including teachers and families. She emphasizes micro goals, small, meaningful targets that fit naturally into daily routines, so AAC becomes functional instead of overwhelming.We also tackle a hot topic around prompting and unpack why modeling and systematic prompting are essential for emergent communicators when done thoughtfully and ethically.If you want AAC implementation that is sustainable, collaborative, and truly supportive for students, this episode will leave you encouraged and equipped.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:What AAC evaluations really involveWhy communication partner coaching is criticalHow micro goals create meaningful progressA thoughtful discussion on prompting and independenceMentioned In This Episode:AAC & MeAAC & Me on InstagramEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

Compassion and accountability are often seen as opposites in Organizational Behavior Management, but we believe they work best together. We break down how OBM, at its core, is simply ABA applied to organizations and how it can be implemented in ways that feel supportive rather than cold or purely data-driven.We discuss how assessments, data analysis, and feedback can prioritize clarity, honesty, and relationships. From pairing with reinforcement when entering an organization to involving staff in problem-solving and aligning expectations with real-world barriers, we share practical ways to move performance management away from compliance and toward collaboration.We also highlight the importance of values, authentic reinforcement, and listening as foundations of compassionate leadership. When staff are viewed as humans and not just performers, it becomes possible to reduce burnout, increase job satisfaction, and build systems that truly support long-term success.What's Inside:Why compassion and accountability are not opposites in OBMHow to apply core ABA principles to organizations at multiple levelsPractical strategies for compassionate performance managementUsing values, relationships, and authentic reinforcement to drive changeMentioned in This Episode:Compassionate ABA: Enhancing Social Skills, Tolerance, and Trauma-Informed CareEpisode 224: Beyond Compliance: Why Relationships Are the Heart of Compassionate ABAHowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

Noncompliance isn't always loud. Sometimes it's quiet, avoidant, and easy to miss until it grows into something bigger. In this Misfit Minute, we break down the difference between passive vs active noncompliance and why recognizing the difference early helps you respond calmly, support regulation, and prevent escalation into unsafe behaviors.

News of this week’s passing of former University of Southwestern Louisiana (now UL-Lafayette) basketball star Dwight “Bo” Lamar sparked a lot of memories.  Lamar was 74 and passed away at a nursing home in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio. College basketball in Louisiana when Lamar played during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s was filled with dominant scorers and very little defense.  The word “defense” seemed to have been banned during this period. Explosive offense had become the name of the game. This brief period was defined by expert marksmanship and crowd-pleasing showmanship.  The high scoring antics of college basketball players like LSU’s “Pistol” Pete Maravich and the University of Houston’s “Big E” Elvin Hayes (born in Rayville, Louisiana) captured the imagination of fans. Less than an hour west of Pistol Pete Maravich and LSU, Bo Lamar and the USL Ragin’ Cajuns were entertaining fans in front of packed basketball arenas, too. Lamar was a virtual basketball scoring machine for the Ragin’ Cajuns from 1969-1973.  He averaged 31.2 points per game over his entire four-year college basketball career.  A first-team All-American as a senior, he was joined on that squad by future basketball Hall-of-Famers Bill Walton of UCLA and David Thompson of North Carolina State. The 6’2” Bo Lamar had one of the best jump shots I have ever seen. He elevated off the floor with ease and then lofted up a high arcing shot from long-distance.  This came nearly 20 years before college basketball would adopt the three-point shot.  He would have averaged over 40 points per game with today’s three-point line. Bo Lamar glided down the basketball court with ease in leading USL’s frantic fast breaks.  He bombed-in a school-record 62 points during a game against Northeast Louisiana University (now UL-Monroe). Scoreboards routinely registered more than 100 points during Ragin’ Cajun basketball games in this era. A 1984 Louisiana Sports Hall-of-Fame inductee, Bo Lamar opted to play professional basketball for the ABA’s San Diego Conquistadors in 1973.  He scored 50 points in one game during his rookie year while averaging nearly 21 points per game. After several years in the pro ranks, Lamar later became part of the radio broadcast team for Ragin’ Cajuns basketball games. Mike Green at Louisiana Tech became one of Bo Lamar’s biggest foes If you have watched current NBA star Kevin Durant of the Houston Rockets, he looks and plays like a modern version of former Louisiana Tech basketball star, Mike Green.  The 6’10” Green played for the Bulldogs from 1969-1974. Mike Green was listed as a center but possessed an incredible outside shooting touch to stretch the opposing defenses. Like Bo Lamar at USL, Green was a prolific college basketball scorer.  He averaged 31 points per game as a senior at Louisiana Tech.  Add a 15.4 rebounds per game career average, and you understand why Mike Green earned the AP’s Small College Player of the Year award in 1973. He was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall-of-Fame in 1996. A friend of mine attended Louisiana Tech in 1971 during the Mike Green basketball era. He recalled a highly anticipated home game against high-scoring Bo Lamar and the nationally ranked Ragin’ Cajuns.  Fans lined up for hours hoping to gain entrance to watch this game.  Mike Green scored 22 points, grabbed 16 rebounds, and blocked numerous shots as the Bulldogs raced to 103-94 win at Tech’s Memorial Gymnasium. Future Louisiana Tech Hall-of-Fame women’s basketball coach Leon Barmore also witnessed that encounter.  He recalled, “It was the greatest game ever at Louisiana Tech – bar none!” While he was a sophomore, Mike Green’s Louisiana Tech team averaged 101 points per game for the entire season. Defense?  What defense? Mike Green passed away in 2018 at the age of 67. Time to celebrate Centenary College center Robert Parish! Shreveport’s 7’1” center Robert Parish took Louisiana’s top college basketball player baton from Bo Lamar and Mike Green during the early 1970’s. Robert Parish played high school basketball in the late 1960’s during a difficult time when federal integration mandates forced some schools to close.  Parish and his fellow Union High School students suddenly found themselves being bussed to nearby Woodlawn High School. Though this period caused angst for both students and teachers, Woodlawn’s basketball team morphed into a state powerhouse with the addition of talented center Robert Parish. He led Shreveport’s Woodlawn High School to the Class 4A state basketball title as a senior in 1972.  Parish was named a national high school All-American. To the dismay of national college recruiters, Robert Parish chose to stay in Shreveport and attend Centenary College.  As a freshman, Parish lined-up to play in one game against Louisiana Tech’s talented senior big man Mike Green. Green dazzled the crowd by scoring 40 points on the young Robert Parish. Robert Parish continued to work and improve his game every year.  He collected a school record 33 rebounds in one game.  Parish’ gifted shooting touch produced 25 points per game for Centenary.  His dominant offensive and defensive play as a senior led to a first-team college basketball All-America selection. Parish became a first round draft choice of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors. Traded four years later to the Boston Celtics, Robert Parish (along with Larry Bird and Kevin McHale) won three NBA titles and played 21 seasons in the NBA.  Parish was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Naismith Basketball Hall-of-Fame in 2003. Have you heard of Olympic gold medal winner Glynn Saulters? Today’s story about talented Louisiana college basketball stars of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s wouldn’t be complete without mentioning an Olympic gold medal winner. In the year 1968, Northeast Louisiana University (now ULM) basketball star Grady Glynn Saulters was nearly invisible on the national college basketball stage. The Lisbon, Louisiana native didn’t possess the blazing court speed of Southwestern Louisiana’s Bo Lamar or the shot-blocking skills of Louisiana Tech’s Mike Green. Oh, but Glynn Saulters could shoot a basketball with the best of them. He became a prolific college scorer. Saulters averaged a nifty 31 points per game as a senior in 1968 to lead the Gulf States Conference in scoring.  Not too shabby. The Olympics games were being held in Mexico City a few months following Saulters’ senior season.  The year 1968 was an extremely politically charged period as Dr. Martin Luther King and presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy were assassinated.  Several top college basketball players such as Lew Alcindor and Elvin Hayes decided not to even try-out for the US Olympic team in 1968. That opened the door for NLU’s 6’2” guard Glynn Saulters to qualify for the Olympic basketball team. His competition included stars like high-scoring Pistol Pete Maravich of LSU and Niagara guard Calvin Murphy.  Surprisingly, neither Maravich nor Murphy made the final cut.  Ditto for Kentucky’s Dan Issel and Purdue sharpshooter Rick Mount. But Glynn Saulters from tiny Class “C” Lisbon High School in north Louisiana made the US team. Legendary college basketball coach Hank Iba’s “No Name” US Olympic basketball squad was comprised of several small college role players and just a few top college stars. Future NBA Hall-of-Fame forward Spencer Haywood and guard JoJo White led the US team in scoring.  Glynn Saulters and the US Olympic team went a perfect 9-0 in Mexico City to bring home the gold medal. Glynn Saulters was inducted into the ULM Sports Hall-of-Fame in 1978 and into the Louisiana Sports Hall-of-Fame in 1981. Don’t forget “AJ from the Parking Lot!” New Orleans’ Cohen High School basketball player Aaron James journeyed northward from the Crescent City to Grambling State University to begin a memorable college basketball career.  The 6’8” sharpshooting forward poured in more than 32 points per game as a senior at Grambling to become the Southwestern Athletic Conference Player of the Year in ’73-74.  He earned the nickname “AJ from the Parking Lot” for his uncanny accuracy on long-distance shots.  Aaron James was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2012. Minden and Webster High School product Louis “Sweet Lou” Dunbar was another prolific high school scoring sensation.  This 6’9” big man also possessed a sweet jump shot.  Dunbar received numerous college scholarship offers and left his home state to play for the University of Houston in the early 1970’s.  He averaged 22 points and eight rebounds over his career with the Cougars. Louis Dunbar would join the Harlem Globetrotters and play for the next 27 years!  “Sweet Lou” is one of only eight Globetrotters to have his jersey (#41) retired.  Dunbar was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2020.   Let’s not forget Shreveport Valencia High School basketball star Roosevelt Fuller.  This silky-smooth high-scoring guard torched the nets for 64 points in a Shreveport high school basketball game in the late 1960’s.  Fuller averaged an incredible 44 points per game one season at Valencia High. He played college hoops from 1970-1972 at Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, TX. He still holds the school scoring record of 53 points and posted a 28 points per game average as a sophomore.  Roosevelt Fuller was inducted into the Trinity Valley Sports Hall of Fame in 2025. No, it wasn’t just Pistol Pete Maravich exciting Louisiana’s basketball fans during the late 1960’s into the early 70’s. This week’s passing of Dwight “Bo” Lamar served as a reminder of just how special his era of basketball was in the Pelican State.

We had so much fun talking with Danielle Yang about the potential of tabletop role-playing games as a component of behavior analytic skill acquisition treatment from a research perspective. But in case that wasn't enough to give you a sense of what such an ABA session could look like, Danielle returns to run Rob and school psychologist/BCBA, Matt Carter, through a demo session of RPGs as a framework for teaching mindfulness and denial tolerance. Will Matt and Rob learn to be more flexible? Or will the impassable mushroom village be their doom? Interested in learning more about this topic? Danielle offers a deeper-dive course into the use of RPGs in treatment and skill planning. You can also join her Discord to chat with other RPG/ABA practitioners.

Money decisions often feel like a tug of war between two “right” instincts. Protect the children or prepare the children. Spend for what you need today or save for what you might need tomorrow. In this episode, Betsy A. Miller, J.D., ACC., a Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School, brings a powerful framework to those tensions by introducing polarities. Polarities are pairs of interdependent opposites where the goal is not to land in the middle, but to get the benefits of both and avoid the overuses of either. Her perspective is grounded in her own story, growing up around affluence while her family stayed disciplined and worked hard. This shaped her relationship with saving, spending and security, and still guides how she values her work and makes big financial decisions today. What If the Answer Isn’t Either/Or—But Both/And? The most important challenges can’t be solved by choosing sides. Whether it’s navigating stability and change, flexibility and structure, or task and relationship, the Both/And Mindset is at the foundation of this work—transforming either/or deadlocks into a sustainable path forward. Betsy is a strategic advisor, keynote speaker, author and Lecturer at Harvard Law School. She helps clients and students navigate one of the hardest challenges: integrating opposing values instead of choosing between them. For more than 25 years, Betsy has worked in law firms, government and academia—holding leadership positions, prosecuting and defending high-stakes cases, advising clients under investigation, coaching senior executives and teaching the next generation of lawyers. She has led billion-dollar settlement negotiations, served as Chief of Staff to the D.C. Attorney General, worked as Nominations Counsel on the United States Senate Judiciary Committee, and guided family offices through generational transitions. At Harvard Law School, Betsy created and teaches the university’s first course dedicated to the Both/And Mindset, “Polarities: Harnessing the Power of Opposites to Lead and Negotiate in a Complex World.” Her range of experiences—from the courtroom to the boardroom to the classroom—enables Betsy to connect dots others can’t see and to create value from opposites that need each other over time to succeed. Betsy’s scholarship has been published in the Harvard Negotiation Law Review, the Leadership Edition of the ABA’s Law Practice Magazine, The American Lawyer, The National Law Journal, Law360 and Law.com. She has written on topics including the Both/And Mindset, change management, talent development, effective feedback and law firm governance. Betsy’s work in the classroom has been featured in the Harvard Gazette and in Harvard Law Today. Betsy is a graduate of Dartmouth College and Harvard Law School. She is an ICF-accredited leadership coach with Certificates in Leadership Coaching and in Polarities (the study of interdependent opposites) from Georgetown University’s Institute for Transformational Leadership. When Both Can Be True Betsy's reflections show that some of our most meaningful money questions are not “either/or” choices but living tensions we navigate over time. Through the lens of polarities such as reveal and conceal, save and spend, present and future she illustrates how families can move beyond false trade-offs and instead seek the benefits of both. Her story reminds us that clarity comes not from picking a side, but from curiosity, intentionality and an openness to holding complexity with care. If you're thinking about how to navigate difficult family conversations about wealth, values or expectations, an Aspiriant advisor can help you frame the discussion, build shared understanding and create a plan that honors both relationships and resources.

In this episode, Stephen and April sit down with Dr. David J. Cox, a uniquely cross-disciplinary thinker whose work spans behavior analysis, bioethics, behavioral economics, and data science. With formal training from Union Graduate College, a PhD from the University of Florida, and post-doctoral work at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Insight Data Science Fellowship, David brings a rare lens to one of the most pressing conversations in ABA today: What does AI mean for clinical quality, professional judgment, and business leadership? Having worked in behavior analysis since 2006 as a clinician, academic, technologist, and researcher—with more than 70 peer-reviewed publications—David helps unpack the signal vs. noise around artificial intelligence and its real implications for BCBAs and the organizations they lead.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with industry leaders from across the country at the American Bus Association's Marketplace 2026 in Reno, Nevada, to uncover what's next for destinations, attractions, and travelers. You'll hear from Josef Kruger of US Ghost Adventures, Aisha Jones of Mystic Seaport Museum, Jana Carter from Visit Annapolis, Kay Calzolari of Visit Winston Salem, Meredith Dollevoet from Cartersville Museum City, Jim Vozzella with 360Chicago, and Debra Tassone from Discover Long Island. Together, they share fresh insights on how storytelling, immersive activities, and hands-on programming are reshaping group experiences. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How group travel experiences are evolving to focus on immersive storytelling and hands-on engagement Strategies for collaboration between destinations, attractions, and local partners Trends shaping group travel for 2026, including wellness-focused itineraries and multi-generational groups How destinations and attractions are using customizable programming to add value and create memorable moments for visitors Why DMOs and attractions are bundling experiences and aligning their offerings to appeal to new travel trends Innovative approaches organizations are using to keep travelers engaged before, during, and after their visits How getting involved with associations like the ABA contributes to building enduring relationships and fostering continuous growth in the travel industry Innovation Through Collaboration Collaboration is no longer a "nice to have". It's mission-critical critical. Guests stress the importance of teaming up with regional partners, DMOs, and local organizations. By curating joint itineraries, sharing resources, and feeding each other's strengths, destinations can offer more complete and compelling travel experiences. Kay Calzolari of Visit Winston Salem shares how investing in personal relationships with nearby towns and attractions has enabled her to offer valuable regional itineraries, extending stays, and enhancing visitor value. This collaborative spirit isn't just about logistics, it's about approaching every partner as part of a larger community, working together to create seamless, memorable journeys for guests. Trends Driving Group Travel With the approach of major milestones like America's 250th anniversary in 2026, destinations are getting creative. Thematic travel is gaining traction, from wellness retreats and service-oriented projects to festivals and Be Revolutionary experiences, as Jana Carter describes for Annapolis. Operators are increasingly tapping into local culture, outdoor recreation, and even culinary partnerships. Museums are stepping up with exhibits that go beyond static displays. As Aisha Jones discusses, Mystic Seaport Museum is bringing in unique traveling exhibits, like shipwrecks recreated in LEGO, and launching virtual educational programs to grow engagement beyond the museum's walls. The Power of Networks At the heart of this evolution is the network effect. ABA Marketplace events and similar gatherings have become essential for building lasting industry relationships. Whether it's a first-timer bonding over shared experiences or seasoned pros joining councils and volunteer teams, the connections made drive both business and inspiration. As several guests reflect, returning to these conferences is like coming home—reconnecting with peers, learning from each other, and growing together.

When you move from treatment rooms to team meetings, everything changes, including how you show up as a BCBA.In this episode, I talk with Shalini Solomon about her transition from clinic-based ABA to working as a school-based BCBA. If you've worked in both settings like I have, you know they are completely different worlds. In a clinic, you're often running sessions. In a school, you're collaborating, coaching, and translating ABA into language that makes sense to teachers and administrators.Shalini shares what helped her navigate that shift, from simplifying behavior intervention plans so they actually work in busy classrooms to minimizing jargon and building buy-in with staff. We also talk about why understanding IDEA, IEPs, FAPE, and district systems is critical if you're stepping into a school role, especially if you're one of the first BCBAs in your district.We also discuss her journey toward earning a doctorate in behavioral health and the importance of leadership, mentorship, and representation in our field. It's an honest, practical conversation for anyone considering or currently navigating a school-based BCBA role.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Key differences between clinic-based and school-based BCBA rolesHow to create simple, usable behavior intervention plansWhy policy knowledge and role clarity matter in schoolsRepresentation and advocacy in the ABA fieldMentioned In This Episode:Elevate & Align BehaviorEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

When we think about improving client outcomes, it's easy to focus on goals, programs, and data collection. In this episode, we zoom out and talk about what's happening behind the scenes. We dive into Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) and how the systems we work within, including training, communication, leadership, and culture, have a powerful ripple effect on everyone involved.We explore how OBM applies the same ABA principles we use with learners to organizations, teams, and leadership. From analyzing systems using an ABC framework to pinpointing key metrics like staff performance, burnout, and treatment fidelity, we discuss how small, strategic changes can lead to meaningful, sustainable impact. We also talk about leadership, feedback loops, and reinforcement systems, and how clear expectations and compassionate data use can build trust and alignment.Ultimately, we reflect on the ripple effect of strong systems. Better supervision leads to stronger future BCBAs and improved outcomes for clients and families. When we strengthen the system, we strengthen the forest, not just one tree.What's Inside:What Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) really is and why it matters in ABAHow systems and leadership directly impact client outcomesUsing behavioral systems analysis and data to drive meaningful changeThe ripple effect of strong supervision and organizational practicesMentioned in This Episode:Supervision Resource BundleCEU Event: Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) for BCBAs: Driving Change and Improving Workplace Performance with BCBA Mellanie PageHowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

The Council of the ABA's Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar has long been the only federally recognized accreditor for law schools. In that role, it is able to direct what law schools teach and determine what constitutes sufficient coursework for law students. Over the past several years, the ABA has faced several challenges to proposed directives for law schools, including a recent proposal to increase the requirement of clinical hours (which has since been withdrawn) and various policies that have been labeled DEI initiatives. Some have lauded those efforts, while others have expressed concern that they mistake the purpose of law schools. In light of skepticism about the ABA, some state bars, particularly Florida and Texas, have opted to no longer require students to have attended an ABA-accredited law school in order to sit for their bar exams. In light of these and other efforts, voices from across the political spectrum have debated not just the value of the particular ABA policy directives, but the appropriate role of the ABA as an accreditor. Our panel will dive into those arguments around the ABA. Featuring: Prof. Derek T. Muller, Professor of Law, Notre Dame Law SchoolProf. Daniel B. Rodriguez, Harold Washington Professor of Law, Northwestern University Pritzker School of LawDaniel R. Thies, Shareholder, Webber & Thies PC(Moderator) Prof. Michael S.

In 2023, ABA Area birders welcomed Chihuahuan Meadowlark to the official ABA Checklist, and subsequently to many life lists. Previously considered a distinct subspecies of Eastern Meadowlark, the split was the result of work done by Dr. Johanna Beam while she was an undergraduate researcher. Informed by her background as a birder, Johanna used museum specimens, audio recordings, and genetic tools to inform the eventual split. She joins host Nate Swick to talk about how it's done, and what other potential new species might be out there.  Also, the ABA announced our 2026 Community Weekend schedule. We hope to see you out there! Subscribe to the podcast at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts and please leave a rating or a review if you are so inclined! We appreciate it!
