Podcasts about aba inside track

As our resolution for the new year, we decided to record 300 podcast episodes. And wouldn't you know it: We're almost there! Kick off 2025 by learning about the, surprisingly, never-before discussed on the show matching law! Then we blast off into a more recent development by reviewing research on Collaborative Problem Solving before settling down for a wintry Grab Bag jamboree. And speaking of jamborees, we release our 300th episode on the always relevant topic, vaccines not causing autism. Want to see ABA Inside Track celebrate the 300th episode milestone in person? Join us on Thursday, January 9th, 2025 from 5-7pm EST at Regis College for a full-length live recording, food, our typical brand of shenanigans, and a free CE. Click here to RSVP.

Can you believe we're wrapping up another year? As we approach the end of 2025, we wanted to reflect on some of the highlights of 2024 in a How To ABA year in review. We share some major personal and professional wins and look back on some of the best topics and guests we've had on the podcast. Our favorite highlights include our work with Dr. Alan Schnee, conferences we've attended, and our collaboration podcast with ABA Inside Track. Our favorite guests include Dr. Peter Gerhardt, Jenna Mazzillo of ABA Naturally, Dr. Saul Axelrod, Dr. Cody Morris from Behavior Analysis and Practice, and so many others! We also touch on some of our CEUs we've offered and what we have in store for 2025.What's Inside:A look back on How To ABA's 2024 highlightsReflections on our favorite guests and topicsOur plans for 2025Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramJoin our Behavior Resource Pro Membership

As we do every year at this time, my friends at ABA Inside Track joined me to review the year that was. This is a fun tradition, and this year, we did something a little different: We looked at the 10 most downloaded episodes from both of our shows, and counted them down. Along the way, we added some commentary as to why these shows might have resonated with you, the listener. If you're a consistent listener to both of our shows, try to see how these episodes matched up with the ones you liked the best! If you want to cheat, you can check out how the shows ranked here, along with links to the episode pages themselves. As always, this is the raw audio feed, direct from ABA Inside Track (so you'll have their intro music).

While we might be taking some time off for the holidays, you wouldn't know it from our podcast schedule. This month we begin the countdown to episode 300 with an announcement of our big anniversary plans, some details of a new ABA Inside Track publication, and, of course, episodes on the cutting edge of behavior analysis. Specifically, we're talking about ableism in the school system (and what behavior analysts can do to combat it) and how artificial intelligence may not be as scary as we thought (thanks to the soothing assurances of special guest, Dr. David Cox). Finally, we wrap up 2024 with a pair of bonus episodes: Our annual End-Of-Year extravaganza with podcasting friend, Matt Cicoria, from Behavioral Observations and our audio from Upstate Caring Partners awesome summer conference on compassionate care.

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.

At the CARES conference hosted by United Caring Partners, Dr. Megan had the pleasure of sitting on a panel presented by the folks at ABA Inside Track and the last question of the panel was: In 6 years, what do you hope to see at this conference? In today's episode, Dr. Megan, Joe, and members of the Do Better Collective discuss how they would answer this question. We want to know your answer! Comment and let us know what you hope to see in 6 years in the field of ABA! AI NOTES FROM FATHOM:Meeting Purpose Live recording of the Do Better Podcast to discuss the vision for the field of behavior analysis in 6 years Key Takeaways AI and ethical utilization of AI in ABA service delivery is a critical area the field needs to address More robust training/supervision requirements and opportunities for BCBAs, focus on developing problem-solving skills Increased emphasis on family systems, human development, and avoiding pathologizing in training Conference speakers should highlight more practitioner work rather than just research Include more focus on adult services as clients grow older AI Utilization Field needs guidelines on ethical, HIPAA-compliant use of AI for reducing burnout, increasing efficiency Payers may utilize AI first if field does not get ahead of it Opportunities for AI to support data collection, treatment planning, flagging non-individualized programming BCBA Training Need more robust training requirements beyond just passing exam Potential internship model, assigned mentors, focus on applied skills Conference sessions/discounts to engage current BCBA candidates Human Development & Family Systems Increased emphasis on human development to avoid pathologizing Training on working with entire family system, not just client Conference Focus Shift towards practitioner speakers sharing actual clinical work Include local providers, not just recurring list of presenters Representation of all perspectives - race, disability, gender, etc.

It's Special Guest Month at ABA Inside Track. We decided to take advantage of the flexibility of summer schedules to invite on as many guests as we could fit into the month. And it's a long month! We're so exited to be joined by Dr. Kate Chazin to (for the moment) wrap up our mini-series on neurodiversity, Dr. Camille Kolu to discuss protective factors in trauma-informed care, Dr. Anita Li to review how ABA is doing in supporting research and readings on diversity, and Mandy Ralston to push our public speaking and dissemination skills to the max.

In what we're planning as an ongoing series of episodes over the next year (and beyond), ABA Inside Track will be talking about neurodiversity: What it is, what it means for behavior analysts, and why understanding and discussing it with open ears, the courage to be uncomfortable, and the importance of listening is key to the future of our field. For now, here's an episode to get our conversation started. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Veneziano, J. & Shea, S. (2023).

In the 18th installment of the Inside JABA Series, Dr. Dorothea Lerman joins Editor-in-Chief John Borrero and I to talk about her dissemination efforts, which are described in the Winter 2024 issue of the journal. Specifically, we talk about her discussion paper, "Putting the power of behavior analysis in the hands of nonbehavioral professionals: Toward a blueprint for dissemination."   This paper is definitely worth checking out. In it, Dorothy describes some common barriers to disseminating behavioral strategies and how to overcome them. We then talk about the blueprint she offers for dissemination, which is broken down into seven steps.   These dissemination efforts are described in the context of Dorothy's outreach to public school educators, law enforcement personnel, and health care providers, settings where Dorothy and her colleagues have made successful inroads. Not to spoil the show's content too much, but we touch on the alarming stats regarding the percentage of individuals with disabilities who are either sedated or restrained during dental procedures, and what can be done to improve them.   Even if you don't have a desire to bring behavior-analytic strategies to a novel setting, upon listening to the conversation a second time, I think there are lessons from this podcast that you can use in your daily practice. Things like gathering information about a particular culture or setting, describing concepts and principles in plain language, conducting experiments to see if what you're doing is working... you get the idea.   We also spend a decent amount of time talking about sustaining behavioral practices once they've been implemented in new settings.   One of the things that I forgot to mention during the podcast is that if you're really into dissemination, check out the new edited work, "Disseminating Behavioral Research," in which, coincidentally, the ABA Inside Track crew and I contributed a chapter called, "Non Traditional Options for Dissemination." I'll leave it to you to guess what medium we focused on.   Lastly, the Winter 2024 issue of JABA features several moving tributes to Drs. Brian Iwata, Hank Pennypacker, and Ronnie Detrich. Dorothy and Dr. Jennifer Fritz contributed a memoriam to Brian Iwata, and it's well worth checking out. In the first few minutes of the show, Dorothy shared some poignant stories about how Brian influenced her career, and John discussed the responsibility associated with curating the various tributes for this edition of JABA.   Relatedly, for the next three months, all of these In Memoriam articles will be freely available, so in the unlikely event you're not a JABA subscriber, you can still check them out.  Here are the resources we discussed: Putting the power of behavior analysis in the hands of nonbehavioral professionals: Toward a blueprint for dissemination.

Shhh! I'm not supposed to be working this week... However, I am somewhat of a traditionalist, and as such obligated to publish the annual Year in Review show with my friends at ABA Inside Track. So here's a really quick rundown. As usual, we reviewed the passings of several behavior analysts in 2023. This is always sad, but at the same time, we tried to highlight the achievements and contributions of the behavior analysts we talked about.  We also recognize that Behavior Analysis, with over 60 thousand BCBAs and BCBA-Ds, is a rapidly growing field, and with these larger numbers comes the increased probability of us missing someone in this process, and we apologize if we left anyone out as a consequence of this.  But the Year in Review is not just for remembering the passing of fellow Behavior Analysts. We discussed a few things happening in the field, some updates to our podcasts that we've made and are continuing to make, and talked about the book chapter we collaborated on in the edited text, Disseminating Behavioral Research (note: Amazon Associate link). Other personal highlights of mine this year include starting a new endeavor with my colleagues Paulie Gavoni and Anika Costa that we've named The Behavioral Toolbox, thanks to the huge contribution from Miguel Avila, providing BOP episodes to Spanish speaking members of the community with the BOP en Español series, invitations to speak at the Florida Association for Behavior Analysis and BABAT, revamping behavioralobservations.com, and probably many more things I'm forgetting right now.  In closing, it's been a great 2023 for me, despite its occasional challenges. The podcast is coming up on its 8th birthday, with almost 5 million downloads, and it nonetheless continues amaze me that people want to tune in. All of this to say that I'm incredibly grateful for your listenership, and I hope you have a happy and healthy 2024!

Let's get down to some nuts and bolts treatment updates this week with one of the most common maintaining variables for problem behavior: escape! We'll start off with a podcast favorite in the form of a treatment-choice flowchart then add in our combined near-60 years of experience with some illustrative case examples to model how to judge which treatment is right for your client. It's like a day hanging out at the ABA Inside Track offices…if we weren't podcasting, that is. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

In Session 243, Dr. Casey Dupart joins me to talk about School Psychology, and in doing so, we touched on a range of related topics including the challenges of military families, multi-tiered systems of supports, socio-emotional learning, school refusal, educational policy, and so much more.  As you'll hear in the interview, Casey has been a School Psychologist in various roles across several states. She also provides consultation and training through her company, Embracing Resilience. And while we're on that topic, she has a few webinars and workshops coming up on topics like Multidisciplinary Collaboration and Improving School Climate and Culture. You can find links to these events at the shownotes for this episode, or simply go to Embracingresiliance.org and click the services tab here.  I believe BCBAs serving in public school settings may be an increasing area of practice. According to the BACB, about 12% of the BCBA and BCBA-D certificants work in educational settings. Also, I was invited to speak about low-tech interventions for disruptive classroom behavior at the recent BABAT conference, and I was honestly shocked to how many attendees were interested in this topic, particularly given the many other excellent talks that were going on in the same time slot. As some of you may already know, I've been working with Anika Costa and Dr. Paulie Gavoni on a project called thebehavioraltoolbox.com to provide BCBAs and other school-based professionals trainings and tools to help them perform more successfully in these settings. Our first course, Ready, Set, Consult! is now available, and we've been really pleased with the feedback that we've gotten from our initial participants. We're also hard at work on getting our second course ready. This one is based off of the talk I gave at the recent BABAT conference. Our working title currently is, When NOT to FBA: 5 Quick Strategies for Improving Behavior in Classroom. I mention all of this to perhaps underscore the importance of being able to work both collaboratively and effectively in school settings. And I think this conversation with Casey will be helpful for BCBAs who are new to school settings, or who simply want to be more successful with the students they serve.  Here are some links to resources, etc... we discussed during the podcast: Back to School with PBIS, Session 198.

Coming to you from our recording studio, it's ABA Inside Track's LIVE Fall (Winter?) episode. And this time, our listeners on Patreon voted for us to discuss visual supports in treatment. In order to break down such a broad category of interventions, we found articles capturing some of the key areas of research including: Social skills! Vocational skills! Independent living skills! We also chat about just what visual supports are and some general guidelines for their use. Plus, Rob's favorite article story of 2022. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

It's that time of year again folks. If you're new to the show, every year, I get together with my friends from ABA Inside Track for a Year in Review show, and this year was no different. In this podcast, we went over a handful of happenings in the world of Applied Behavior Analysis.  In this episode, we covered: The changes in leadership of the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis and the Association for Professional Behavior Analysis. What shows from each of our pods resonated with our respective audiences. Whether West Coast or New England IPAs are best (c'mon, is this even worth talking about?), including an impromptu short history of American Craft Beer.  Other questions from the audience. The passings of Tameka Meadows, Beth Sulzer-Azaroff, David Jarmolowicz, and Dale Bretthower. With regard to the latter, I would like to say that I wish we had more time to elaborate on the contributions of these behavior analysts. We were pressed for time, not only for recording, but also in terms of show preparation, and I apologize if that segment of the show fails to live up to the standards you've come to expect from Behavioral Observations.  We also fielded a great question from long time listener, Penny Holloway. Again, time did not allow us to do her question justice, but if you listen to the very end of the show, I do my best to address it, and I hope you get a chance to check that out.  Huge thanks again for the ABA Inside Track crew, along with Alan Haberman for being such great conversational partners. I look forward to sharing more fun discussions with you in 2023 and beyond!!! Here are the links to some of the things we discussed: Inside JABA 13 (John Borrero and Linda LeBlanc). Inside JABA 2 (Big Idea Papers). Session 205 (Matt Brodhead/Ethics and the use of Punishment). Session 201 (Holly Gover/Preference for Contingent Reinforcement).

It's beginning to look a lot like behavior analysis as 2022 comes to a close. But, we're not done reading research yet! This month, we'll be learning all about training professionals from outside the field of education and ABA with special guest, Dr. Dorothea Lerman, then revisiting video modeling with a review of some more recent variations on its usage in teaching. And, to listen to while recovering from too much holiday cheer, our End of Year special with Matt Cicoria of the Behavioral Observations podcast and the whole ABA Inside Track crew.

With summer vacation underway here at the ABA Inside Track studios, we've decided to take a vacation with ourselves in this month's episodes while still checking out 14 recent articles across three different topics. Possibly at the beach. First, we'll be discussing the best way to min-max your school FBA before breaking out our fidget spinners with an updated review of research on ADHD treatments. Finally we look at multiple examples of articles discussing multiple exemplars. So, whether you're wearing a t-shirt, pajamas, or something in between, we've got a topic for you.

Hi folks, as I note in my opening comments, my friends from ABA Inside Track and I got together again for a Year-In-Review episode. Perhaps in keeping with our mood, we kept this year's review somewhat light. Instead of discussing the weighty issues of Behavior Analysis, we talked about what we've been up to in 2021. Jackie and I talk about our Covid stories, Diana shares her go to source on all things pandemic, and Rob and I talk about what we're seeing in schools these days. We also talk about what's new for our shows, and at the very end, we discuss some of our favorite non-ABA podcasts too. Before signing off for 2021, I want to extend a huge thanks to everyone who listened to the show this year. I'd also like to thank my awesome sponsors (special shout outs to Behavior University and HRIC!), Patreon subscribers, and CEU customers. Collectively, you've all made this podcast truly viable, and for that I am eternally grateful! On that note, I hope everyone in listener-land has a safe, happy, and prosperous New Year. I look forward to sharing more fun conversations with you in 2022!

To kick off Supervision September, we're going back to the ur-supervision book, “How To Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie. And, like most of our book club episodes the recording was a) too long and needed to be broken into two parts and b) features Alan Haberman with hot takes for days! Will HTWFIP stand the test of time or be banished to the remainder bin of history? This episode is available for 1.0 SUPERVISION CEU. We're in the process of planning the new year of ABA Inside Track. If you've got some time, we'd appreciate it if you shared you thoughts on a short survey. Thank you!

Gather round, employees! I've bought you all something so special.  You'll want to work twice as hard once you see what it is.  Drumroll please.  It's tickets to the opera! What's that? You don't care for hours of singing in German? You can't easily get a babysitter for a four-hour trip to the big city much less pay for parking? Well, guess I should have listened to that episode of ABA Inside Track where research on alternatives for managers making guesses as to what will function as a reinforcer for employees was discussed.  Maybe they'd have allowed us to avoid this embarrassing and disheartening exchange.  So, you cool if I scalp those tickets?   This episode is available for 1.0 SUPERVISION CEU.   Articles discussed this episode:  Cohen-Almeida, D., Graff, R.B., & Ahearn, W.H.

Hey, ABA Inside Track, I thought I told you not to podcast in here no more. Hey, did you record that episode on research on bullying behavior? You took notes on a meta-analysis of current bullying prevention programs and single-subject research looking closer at specific programs in behavior analysis, including a program for individuals with disabilities? Think, ABA Inside Track, think! If you put out an episode detailing effective treatment for decreasing bullying behavior and improving victimization outcomes, I’ll be out of a job, and you wouldn’t want that to happen, woudja?

Got any behavior analytic research? Plenty! And good as only ABA Inside Track could discuss ‘em. Special sweet articles, spicy with bits of behavioral technologies like preference assessments, functional analyses, and plain ones like pre-post test designs that graph up all crunchy. Hard to choose which one to discuss first. That’s some problem. You try ‘em! Behavior analytic research reviews as only ABA Inside Track could discuss ‘em. ‘Cause ABA Inside Track remembers.

My friends over at ABA Inside Track - Robert Parry-Crews, Diana Parry-Crews, and Jackie Macdonald, got together for our third annual year-in-review collaboration. And suffice to say, what a year it has been. In this episode, we discuss the events of 2020, both in the world of Behavior Analysis and beyond. We spoke at great length about the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the provision of services, as well as how Behavior Analysis responded to the challenges of racism, policing, and the like. Finally, we round out the episode by honoring the memories of some of the pioneers in our field who passed away in 2020. So grab a beverage of choice, put your earbuds in, and join us in kicking 2020 to the curb and look forward to a hopefully more reinforcing 2021!

In Memoriam: Jack Michael. Jose Martinez-Diaz. Patricia Krantz. On a final note, I'd be remiss if I didn't say how grateful I am for everyone who listens to and supports the show. I was raised to not discuss money in public, but the pandemic has cut the revenue of my consultation practice by more than half, and despite that, we managed to get through the worst of it because of the support from the audience. So whether you've purchased CEU's, subscribed to the membership community, patronized my wonderful sponsors, or simply shared favorite episodes with friends and minded behavior peeps, you've really come through and helped me avoid what could have been a financial disaster. For all of this and more, to say that I am thankful doesn't even scratch the surface. I'm looking forward to 2021, and I'm excited to continue to produce and share these conversations. And from my family to yours, please have a happy and safe holiday! Special thanks to the following (apologies in advance, as they're likely to be folks that I forgot to mention): HRIC Recruiting.

Hey, ABA Inside Track Listeners.  As we embark into our 4th year of the podcast, we wanted to stop and recognize that we couldn’t have continued creating our brand of scientific and entertaining behavior analytic content without your support.  And, to acknowledge the importance of our community of BCBA students and practitioners, we’ve decided to team up with Patreon to provide more opportunities for our audience to interact with the show than ever before.  Patreon is an online platform that allows fans to donate at a variety of levels to unlock access to more shows, CE store discounts, and even a chance to join our recording sessions.    For just 5 dollars a month, you’ll be invited to join us for a behavior analysis social stream every other month.  You’ll be able to share your thoughts on a set topic with Rob, Diana, and Jackie as well as other behavior analysts in our online community.   If you’re interested in more podcast content, why not join at the 10 dollar a month level.  You’ll also gain access to 3 additional shows a year taking our popular book club format to discuss behavior analytic literature that YOU get to vote on.  Each of these episodes will be good for 2 learning credits at no additional cost and include the fun and detailed commentary you’ve come to expect from our show.  And, to add an extra incentive, 10-dollar a month patrons will receive a special ABA Inside Track sticker and a monthly 10% discount at our CE store.   Finally, for those of you who’d like to be a part of the show, if you sign up at the 20 dollar a month level, you’ll earn everything at the previous levels AND get to join us during the recordings of the book club episodes.  That’s right, you’ll be able to take the role of one of our special guest co-hosts for an entire episode!  Plus, as our guest, you’ll receive a show mug designed specifically for our Inside Tracker patrons as well as a 20% discount each month at the CE store.   As an added bonus, all patrons who sign up before September 30th will receive a free CE store credit as a thanks from us for your early support.  To find more information and to sign up, just go to patreon.com/abainsidetrack.  Or email us with questions at abainsidetrack@gmail.com.   Keep responding!

LIVE from the TxABA conference—which, because of the pandemic, we recorded in the comfort of our homes—it’s a fun-filled presentation from ABA Inside Track! Due to popular demand, we’ve switched up our original talk to discuss what research can tell us about promoting safety measures in our daily lives. Is there a way to improve hand washing in the general population? What does economic research tell us about social distancing? And how is the Green Movement like a global health initiative? Big thanks to our friends at TxABA for their kind invitation. We hope to see you at the Alamo next year! Articles discussed this episode: Fenichel, E.P. (2013).

Somewhere in space, this could all be happening right now. ABA Inside Track, the team that brought you Grab Bag 9, now bring you a podcast unlike anything on your planet: Grab Bag In Space! The story of social skills training, furniture reorganization, and green shopping bag purchases. It’s a big, sprawling ABA saga of research…and romance. It’s a discussion of articles light years ahead of their time. It’s an epic of behavior and analysis and aliens from a thousand worlds. Grab Bag In Space, a billion years in the making.

It’s my pleasure to introduce you to the ABA Inside Track team: Dr. Jackie MacDonald, Dr. Robert Parry- Cruwys, and Dr. Diana Parry-Cruwys. We cover a lot of topics today, including positive parenting and avoiding coercion. We also discuss the rule of five-to-eight positive comments to every negative comment; a rule that should be applied to anyone’s everyday life.

While all of us are doing our best to respond to rapid changes during the current COVID-19 pandemic, many families are struggling with the loss of home ABA services. In response to these barriers, many smart clinicians are looking for novel solutions. On this special extra episode, we talk with one of these super smart folks, Dr. Francesca degli Espinosa, about how she and her staff have responded to continued need for home ABA services in Italy in the midst of the health crisis. In addition to being able to share so many of Dr. Espinosa’s amazing (and directly applicable) ideas out to our fellow BCBAs, we’re also making this episode good for one FREE learning CEU. Just listen and go to checkout as normal. Then enjoy the content and the CE for free, courtesy of Dr. Espinosa and your friends at ABA Inside Track. Articles discussed this episode: Kazdin, A.E.

Because your ABA Inside Track hosts are such chronic truth-tellers, we decided it was time to look into this “lying” we’ve heard so much about. For instance, we’re not sure why anyone would ever lie. Or whether it’s an important skill to learn how to lie, especially when your best friend tries on a questionable outfit. Or if learning about George Washington can really improve honesty. We promise, if you listen to ABA Inside Track’s new episode, you will be popular and more attractive.* *Note: we’re probably lying. Though we bet you’re still swell.

My friends at ABA Inside Track - Rob, Diana, and Jackie - invited me back for another Year-in-Review episode. I've enjoyed getting to know these guys over the last few years, and doing an episode like this seems like it's a fun tradition-in-the-making. So what did we talk about? Well, it seems like 2019 was the year of the ABA podcast. So many shows were launched that it's hard to keep track of. In addition to Behavioral Observations, I've listed all the currently published ABA shows below, and I'll apologize in advance to my podcasting brethren if I've missed any: ABA Inside Track. Why We Do What We Do. The Controversial Exchange. Behavior Bitches. Behaviorbabe. Beautiful Humans Changecast. Functional Relations. ABA on Call. #doBetter Pod. The Business of Behavior Podcast. Turn Autism Around. ABA Ultimate Showdown. The Behavior Chef. Inside the BACB. The Autism Helper. We also discussed some milestones that both of our shows hit in 2019, specifically, crossing the 100 episode mark, and having over 1,000,000 downloads. It's positively humbling that so many people have taken interest in what we've been doing. Rob, Jackie, Diana, and I also discussed the passing of prominent leaders in our field, including Drs. Barbara Etzel, Janet Ellis, and Murray Sidman. (note: we did not discuss the passing of Chuck Merbitz, but you can hear about his work and legacy in the memorial episode that was published earlier this year). We then rounded out the show by covering some of the trends in ABA practice that we observed in 2019, and gave a preview of what's coming up for both shows in 2020! And on this note, I want to extend a personal thanks to all of you who tuned in to the podcast in 2019. I wish you a safe and happy holiday, and I look forward to providing informative Behavior-Analytic content for you in 2020 and beyond! This podcast is sponsored by the following: HRIC Recruiting.

This year the Berkshire Association of Behavior Analysis and Therapy (BABAT), our regional conference, celebrated it’s 40th anniversary. As a special treat, the BABAT board asked us at ABA Inside Track to interview guest speakers and attendees to celebrate this momentous occasion. It took Rob a while to edit together THREE HOURS of awesome conversations about BABAT, but now, here it is in all it’s glory. Listen to some of the best minds in the field and their thoughts on the BABAT conference, its history, present, and future.

Speedy Delivery ain’t got nothing on us this episode as we sign, seal, and deliver all of our pressing ethical concerns to special guest, Dr. Darren Sush. Much like a BCBA Dear Abby, Dr. Sush discusses an array of ethical quandries pulled straight from his new book “A Workbook of Ethical Case Scenarios in Applied Behavior Analysis”. It’s almost two whole hours of ethical discussion! Sincerely, your friends from ABA Inside Track. Articles discussed this episode: Sush, D.J. & Najdowski, A.C. (2019).

LIVE from the Thompson Center! It’s ABA Inside Track! We’re back again with a talk we gave last month at the 14th Annual Thompson Center for Autism Conference all about parent stress. But, a funny thing happened on the way to the podium: We realized that decreasing parent stress isn’t as easy as just doing good training. Listen in for some tips on how to improve your parent-BCBA collaboration skills. And, as a big thank you to all of our listeners, this episode is good for one FREE CEU!!!

In a world where research is the only resource that matters, only one crack team of podcasters have the brains, the brawn, and the bandwith, to fight back. This summer, only in your listening device of choice, the ABA Inside Track team returns and, this time, the fate of the world rests in their hands.

Summer may be heating up, but ABA Inside Track is staying cool with a remote guest from Iceland and our third annual book club (which we’ll pretend was recorded on a beach).

We all live in an interconnected, WiFi world. So shouldn’t our work as behavior analysts be the same? Telehealth provides an exciting means to share our science at a distance; however, if we’re not careful, who knows what ethical dilemmas using this technology might lead us into. Have no fear!

In honor of Autism Awareness Month, a portion of all of ABA Inside Track’s proceeds in April will be donated to the New England Center for Children. For those of you who haven’t heard of this internationally recognized school for individuals with ASD, Kim Walter joins us for a bonus chat about the ongoing mission of NECC to improve the lives of students, families, and behavior analysts. Fun fact: Without the New England Center for Children, there wouldn’t even BE an ABA Inside Track!!! Interested in reaching your professional development goals and simultaneously donating to a worthy cause? Why not order some CEs from us and make all the dreams come true!

Snacking sure is great. But, snacking isn’t usually the healthiest choice available. Since chiding people to eat better doesn’t seem to be cutting down the worldwide obesity epidemic, it looks like we’ll need behavior analysis to save the day. What does the research tell us about food preferences and promoting healthy food choices at a young age? And is there any way that we could make the whole thing some big, fun game? This podcast comes with and without cheese. You know you’re choosing the one with cheese. Remember, all this April, a portion of CE processing fees will be donated to the New England Center for Children, a school for individuals with autism and a home of behavior analytic research and training. By applying for CEs from ABA Inside Track, you’ll be donating to a worthy cause. It’s win-win! Articles discussed this episode: Stark, L.J., Collins, Jr., F.L., Osnes, P.G., & Stokes, T.F. (1986).

Spring has sprung here at ABA Inside Track and a new garden of topics have grown into this months trio of podcasts. First, we take a look at what goes into making healthy food choices and how a space opera might be the key to battling obesity. Then we meet with special guest, Dr. Rocio Rosales, to discuss how to train individuals with ASD to improve job interview skills. Finally, we pull out the ol’ grab bag for another round of dog articles, good behavior games, and concurrent operant assessments. Don’t forget, to celebrate Autism Awareness Month, all throughout April, a portion of proceeds from CE processing fees will be donated to the New England Center for Children, a globally acknowledged school for individuals with autism and a home of research and training in the field of behavior analysis. Pick up some CEs and donate to a worthy cause. It’s win-win! Looking for exciting and educational behavior analytic conferences where you might run into ABA Inside Track hosts?

May I have your attention, please? Webster’s dictionary defines public speaking as the act of speaking in front of an audience. And it’s sort of terrifying…and I’m sweating just standing here talking to you. Now my PowerPoint slides have malfunctioned and I’ve dropped my notes. And I’m picturing the audience naked which is making me feel very uncomfortable. If only I’d listened to that amazing podcast about public speaking and how to improve my own abilities before agreeing to speak in front of all the best behavior analysts. Save me, ABA Inside Track!

Switching up our preview format a bit, we’re here to tell you everything coming up in the ENTIRE MONTH! That’s right: Three full-length episodes in a row!

While I think all of us at ABA Inside Track are pretty with it, woke, and progressive, that doesn’t mean that we don’t have room to grow, especially in the area of cultural competence. So, like any good behavior analysts, we found some research and reached out to an expert to wisen us up. But, before that happens, we celebrate a listener birthday with the gift of journal article recommendations.

As a dog trainer, I am working with changing behavior in the real world in dogs and humans. And also myself. Trying to understand and modify behavior as it's happening in the world... in animals and human learners. So much of animal training is based on anecdote and tradition, rather than on actual evidence and data. In this episode, we talk behavior analytic research with Jackie and Diana from ABA Inside Track.

Wondering if you’ve got what it takes to be a positive parent? Find yourself needing the greatest parenting tips for the families you work with? Terrified that you keep coming back to the old “yell at the kids until they behave” strategy your parents used? Well, let ABA Inside Track’s second annual book club pick, The Power of Positive Parenting, help you out. For the next two episodes we’ll be discussing Dr. Glen Latham’s excellent parenting book to determine if it’s really as great as we’ve heard and, more importantly, if it’s really a piece of behavior analytic literature. Readings discussed this episode: Latham, G.I.  (1990). The power of positive parenting. North Logan, UT: P&T Ink.

To celebrate America's birthday, we're finally giving Jackie her wish and doing an entire episode devoted to puppies.  Specifically, dog behavior analysis.  After a montage of dog pictures featuring sad Sarah Mclachan music, dry your tears to prepare for some summer reading assignments in Errata.  Do you have ideas for ABA Inside Track episodes?

Ah, the beautiful summer weather is finally upon us.  And what better time to talk about how hard it is for some students to attend school.  Is it bad teaching? Permissive parents? School anxiety? How the heck are we supposed to find out the function of school refusal behavior? Fortunately, Dr. Christopher Kearney and colleagues have been studying the assessment and treatment of school refusal behavior since the early 90's.  And your pals here at ABA Inside Track are here to disseminate their research with our brand of deep discussion and tangents about Jackie's history of poor attendance due to Sailor Moon.

You enter a hall full of all of your favorite things.  The old knight of the Crusade beckons you to him.  "Among you are the greatest delights known to humanity.  You may engage in whip-cracking tricks to earn them.  Or, I can give you one every now and again.  You must choose...but choose wisely."  And in that moment, you realize: you should have listened to that episode of ABA Inside Track about whether humans prefer contingencies.  Suddenly, you awaken in a cold sweat and look at the calendar.  "Oh, thank Skinner," you gasp.  "It's only the preview episode! There's still time to subscribe!" Then, with visions of Diana, Jackie, and Rob podcasting in your head, you slip off, back to dreamland.  Articles for next episode: Luczynksi, K.C. & Hanley, G.P.  (2009).  Do children prefer contingencies?

As part of Autism Awareness Month, ABA Inside Track is donating all money from CE processing fees to Autism Compassion Africa, a nonprofit group dedicated to improving the treatment of individuals with autism in Western Africa.  Diana and I spoke with one of the organization's founders, Whitney Hammel, about the work so far, about the newly founded school in Ghana, and about the challenges and rewards for a BCBA outside of the U.S. Remember, you still have two weeks to purchase CEs on a variety of topics.  If you'd rather donate directly to Autism Compassion Africa, you can do that as well.  Thank you!

Are you ok? Would a podcast all about teaching empathy skills make you feel better? What if I told you that this week's discussed articles have fun puppet videos? Strange face prompting?

We're celebrating 50 episodes of ABA Inside Track by going where BCBAs are wary to tread: mental health! We discuss why ABA and mental health stopped getting along and discuss ideas as to how behavior analysis can make a difference in treating mental illness.  Then we save a nice chunk of time for Rob to go full hippy in his tear down of Big Pharma.  But, can any of this content help Diana get over her mall-o-phobia?     Articles discussed this episode: Harvey, M.T., Luiselli, J.K., & Wong, S.E.  (2009).  Application of applied behavior analysis to mental health issues.  Psychological Services, 6, 212-222.  doi: 10.1037/a0016495 Wong, S.E.  (2006).  Behavior analysis of psychotic disorders: Scientific dead end or casualty of the mental health political economy? Behavior and Social Issues, 15, 152-177.  doi: 10.5210/bsi.v15i2.365   Singh, N.N., Matson, J.L., Lancioni, G.F., Singh, A.N., Adkins, A.D., McKeegan, G.F., & Brown, S.W.  (2006).  Questions about behavioral function in mental illness (QABF-MI): A behavior checklist for functional assessment of maladaptive behavior exhibited by individuals with mental illness.  Behavior Modification, 30, 739-751.  doi: 10.1177/0145445506286700 If you're interested in ordering CEs for listening to this episode, click here to go to the store page.

Does mindful eating sound as gross in the classroom as it does when Rob tries it on the podcast? And does Jackie approve of the new Anne of Green Gables series on Netflix?
