For this episode of Diverse Thinking Different Learning, we are excited to welcome two guests - Kristin Lombardi, MA, BCBA and Christine Drew, PhD, BCBA-D! Kristin Lombardi, MA, BCBA, is a behavior analyst specializing in helping children and families build independent living skills through her private practice in Locust Valley, New York. With expertise in special education, psychology, and behavior analysis, Kristin supports individuals from early childhood through young adulthood, customizing her approach to a range of developmental and support needs. Dr. Christine Drew, PhD, BCBA-D, is an Assistant Professor of Special Education at Auburn University, where she teaches both graduate and undergraduate students. She is involved in Auburn's inclusive higher education program for students with intellectual disabilities, and before transitioning to academia, she led a middle school behavior program, gaining hands-on experience in supporting students with diverse needs. We touch upon topics in this episode such as how parents and educators can help children with learning challenges develop real independence rather than unintentionally reinforcing dependence. Kristin and Christine are the co-authors of Spectrum of Independence, and they discuss the shift from focusing on deficits to recognizing potential. They challenge the common instinct to always step in and do things for children, explaining why that approach, while well meaning, can actually hold them back. The conversation offers some practical strategies that are grounded in behavioral science, including how to break down complex tasks into small, achievable steps. They share real-life success stories, illustrating how small changes can ultimately lead to big transformations. Whether it's brushing teeth, getting dressed, or prepping for college, helping them become more independent starts with small, everyday moments. Parents who worry that they've waited too long to start are sure to find reassurance and a clear starting point, with this discussion also highlighting the role of the home environment in reinforcing new skills and making independence a natural part of daily life. With a focus on empowerment over enablement, this episode offers a thoughtful, science-backed guide for anyone supporting a neurodivergent child on the path to greater autonomy!   Show Notes: [2:33] - Hear how Kristin realized the need to bridge the gap between K-12 and inclusive higher education. [3:44] - Christine explains how students with neurodiversity struggle with independence in college due to not having early prep. [6:39] - Hear how a parent mistakenly believed that her child was independent with medication, unaware of her hidden support. [9:09] - Kristin and Christine wrote Spectrum of Independence to help parents fade out support from early childhood. [12:08] - Some students rely on parental presence for routines, making college independence difficult. [14:03] - Many parents lack access to therapists, so the book guides them in teaching life skills to their children. [17:06] - The book focuses on daily routines and the importance of developing skills early. [19:13] - Christine explains how to break down complex routines into steps, making skill-building easier. [22:43] - Breaking tasks down into smaller steps is common in education but overlooked at home. [23:04] - Kristin stresses the need for teaching self-care skills at home rather than relying solely on schools. [25:01] - Christine warns against creating dependency by always assisting children instead of helping them gain independence. [27:15] - Neurotypical children develop independence early, while those with developmental disabilities may require more parental involvement. [28:24] - Parents should gradually reduce their assistance, as sudden independence can be overwhelming. [30:58] - Teaching children to plan ahead for privacy after showering is very important for independent living. [33:45] - It is never too late to teach independence, but prerequisite skills must be developed first. [34:58] - Christine emphasizes starting small by focusing on one daily routine to gradually build independence.

Dr. Annie McLaughlin is a special breed of BCBA; she practices as an IEP advocate and trains other professionals to become advocates as well. IEPs can be a contentious environment, tip-toeing around and finding diplomatic approaches to tough conversations. Dr. McLaughlin explains that her philosophy around advocacy is to show us as humans with compassion first.In her advocacy work, Dr. McLaughlin supports families through the lens of ACT (be sure to check out some of our episodes discussing this topic). She also uses her behavior analytic lens to take an important perspective for clients with diverse needs. “I want to be the advocate everyone wants to show up,” is what Dr. McLaughlin shares when discussing how to focus on collaboration through open communication and active listening. At a table filled with parents, therapists, and school faculty, Dr. McLaughlin advocates for “both sides” by highlighting parent concerns AND validating the expertise of the providers. The advocate helps make space for diverse perspectives while reinforcing ideas. When both the families and the providers are on the same page, it can make a big difference in the work they are doing with the learner.You can find Dr. Annie McLaughlin on Instagram as @IEPAdvocateAnnie, where she shares about her courses and helps other professionals become IEP advocates.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:How can an advocate help both “sides” of the team?Advocacy with a behavior analytic lensSupporting families with ACT.Helping professionals become advocates.Mentioned In This Episode:Annie McLaughlin, PhD, BCBA-D (@iepadvocateannie) - InstagramJoin the ABA SPEECH Connection Membership

Dr. Ilene Schwartz is a professor in the Area of Special Education at the University of Washington and the Director of the Haring Center for Inclusive Education at UW. She earned her Ph.D. in child and developmental psychology from the University of Kansas and is a board certified behavior analyst (BCBA-D). Dr. Schwartz has an active research and professional training agenda with primary interests in the areas of autism, inclusive education, professional ethics, and the sustainability of educational interventions. Dr. Schwartz is the director of Project DATA, a model preschool program for children with autism that has been in operation since 1997 and was started as a model demonstration project with OSEP funding. She is currently working on projects to improve the quality of inclusive services for students with disabilities and strategies that can be used to improve access to services for young children with ASD in under resourced areas.

As I continue to bridge the gap in research to the therapy room, I also see deficits in pre-service training that can make therapy a better experience for both providers and families.Jessica Rohrer, BCBA-D, joins me to discuss her work with soft skills, using tools to measure and build compassion skills in the therapy room. Her research uses the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy, a tool primarily used to check compassion in the medical field, as a pre and post measurement on the impact of compassionate skills training. Dr. Rohrer developed the Compassionate Collaboration Tool as a checklist for provider self-reflection and a helpful next step to incorporating compassion skills in their therapy. The tool focuses on three skill sets in providers. Basic interview skills: introductions, note taking, nodding, and back channeling.Interest skills: asking and reflecting positivity on client interests and asking and reflecting caregiver priorities.Joining with the family: empathy statements, normalizing skills, and partnering skills.It can be easy to forget the emotional time our clients and their families may be experiencing when entering therapy, which is why it is crucial to focus on empathy and compassion in our basic skills for a positive experience. New clinicians may particularly experience more difficulty. If you're looking for next steps to include compassion in your therapy, Dr. Rohrer reminds you to self-monitor and reflect, consider group behavior skills training, and remember that every client and every family will have varying needs for compassion.#autism #speectherapyWhat's Inside:Bridging the gap in research in the therapy room. Why are compassion skills important in ABA?Tools for measuring and reflecting on soft skills.Next steps for incorporating compassion skills into your everyday therapy.Mentioned In This Episode:Soft Skills: The Case for Compassionate Approaches or How Behavior Analysis Keeps Finding Its Heart(PDF) Teaching Compassion Skills to Students of Behavior Analysis: A Preliminary InvestigationJoin the ABA SPEECH Connection Membership

In our recent podcast, Dr. Clarence Cooper, a doctoral-level certified behavior analyst, joined Dr. Paulie to delve into the complex world of behavior analysis consulting in classrooms. Dr. Cooper discussed the significant challenges behavior analysts face when working in educational settings. Key among these is the difficulty of applying ABA strategies within existing classroom management frameworks, often exacerbated by educators' varying levels of familiarity and comfort with ABA methods.Dr. Cooper emphasized the critical importance of involving all stakeholders—teachers, administrators, parents, and students—in the consulting process. Building strong relationships with these groups is essential for success, as it fosters a collaborative environment where ABA techniques can be more effectively integrated and accepted. This collaborative approach not only enhances the implementation of ABA strategies but also ensures that interventions are tailored to meet the unique needs of each classroom and student, ultimately leading to more positive outcomes.The conversation with Dr. Cooper highlighted that while the path to effective classroom consulting as a behavior analyst is fraught with challenges, the potential rewards—improved student behavior and learning outcomes—are well worth the effort. By focusing on stakeholder involvement and relationship building, behavior analysts can navigate these hurdles and make a meaningful impact in educational settings.Dr. Cooper's email:  cooperclarence@yahoo.com

Things are bound to happen. Whether you are a new or seasoned provider, you will surely encounter an ethical dilemma. Licensed Clinical Psychologist and BCBA-D, Dr. Linda LeBlanc, is on to talk about the importance of ethics, provider values, and her new book, Ethics: Proactive and Practical Decision Making for Behavior Analysts.For many, your position in the field of ABA is the first professional role where you are officially responsible for the outcome of a vulnerable person. Your personal underlying values are important to decision making when it comes to the code of ethics. Ethical situations in this field can bring questions to boundaries and relationships appropriate for the role.The first response to an ethical situation is often a gut response. But Dr. LeBlanc poses the idea of how providers can be proactive in their ethical framework before specific ethical dilemmas even arise. She explains the big picture of her up and coming book in three parts that will cover history, values, and personal behavior, a dissection of each section of the ethics code, and practical everyday management of ethics.Following the code of ethics is not about perfection; it is about being planned, intentional, and thoughtful in a way that protects you and your client. You can find out more about Dr. Linda LeBlanc at her website and read a preview of her book at Sloan Publishing. #autism #speectherapy What's Inside:How new providers may encounter ethical dilemmas.The underlying values and personal decision making behind the ethical code.A framework for proactive ethical management.Dr. Lina LeBlanc's book, Ethics: Proactive and Practical Decision Making for Behavior AnalystsMentioned In This Episode:LeBlanc Behavioral Consulting​​Sloan Publishing - Ethics: Proactive and Practical Decision Making for Behavior AnalystsMembership - ABA Speech

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.

As a member of the field, you have probably heard of and used the VB-MAPP. Today I am talking to Dr. Barbara Esch, who is an experienced contributor to the field as an SLP and BCBA-D, as well as the author of the EESA, a part of the VB-MAPP. Dr. Esch recently released the “New EESA”, the Early Echoic Skills Assessment and Program Planner. She explains the changes and the reasoning behind them. The EESA is not about articulation, as it is primarily focused on Early Speech Learners. This assessment and planner is about how well an individual can repeat what they hear with the criteria: the number of syllables 1 to 6, different numbers of consonants, and different numbers of vowels.In the new EESA you will find 5 groups of increasingly complex syllables within the Guide and Protocol books. These also include FAQ, Translations, and a Work Packet. In the work packet, the administrator will analyze skill levels and utilize the program planning guidance. It's always important to me to keep things FUNctional. Dr. Esch and I discuss the importance of choosing the write targets and the write syllables for words of things our learners like and would need access to. As creator of the EESA, Dr. Barbara Esch has had a hand in thousands of learners' development of verbal speech. You can utilize this tool whether you're an SLP, BCBA, Parent, Caretaker or anyone finding themselves responsible for teaching vocal speech!#autism #speectherapyWhat's Inside:Dr. Barbara Esch's contribution to the field of ABA.The EESA versus the Early Echoic Skills Assessment and Program Planner.What is syllable complexity and why does it matter?/A tool for anyone teaching verbal speech.Mentioned In This Episode:Dr. Barbara EschDifferent Roads to LearningMembership - ABA Speech

This podcast episode explores the potential of games to support neurodiverse populations. We define games and discuss their essential attributes. Examples are provided of how games have been successfully incorporated into ABA therapy for autistic individuals to build skills and engagement. We discuss the future possibilities for the nexus of games, and AI to create adaptable, empowering experiences uniquely suited to different neurotypes. Researchers see promise in using data-driven, personalized games to complement traditional interventions.  To earn CEUs for listening, click here, log in or sign up, pay the CEU fee, + take the attendance verification to generate your certificate!
