Podcasts about behavior analysis

As part of the work of a behavior analyst, our ethical code requires us to explain our services in language that can be understood by clients and stakeholders. That holds doubly true when our clients speak a primary language other than English. And just busting out Google Translate isn't going to cut it! In the next entry in our Tutorial series, we break out the “how to” basics behind following best practices when working with an interpreter in delivering ABA services. From meaningful feedback and collaboration with an interpreter to ensuring a respectful flow of communication between all parties, we'll get your practice up to speed in no time. Well, at least in the time it takes to listen to this episode. This episode is available for 1.0 CULTURAL (ETHICS) CEU.

Dr. Mary Barbera discusses how doctor visits can be overwhelming for children with autism, but systematic desensitization can make a big difference. This simple approach uses gradual exposure and positive reinforcement to reduce fear and build cooperation—even for kids with past medical trauma. Start with pretend play, visual schedules, and breaking visits into small steps. For emergencies, prep a go-bag and summary sheet in advance. With the right tools and a little planning, you can reduce meltdowns and make medical visits more manageable.

As we come to the end of another school year in the US, we take a moment to ponder the question: What is it that a BCBA is supposed to do when they work in a school context? And to help us answer that question, we've enlisted the help of the other half of one of our favorite behavior analyst duos, John Staubitz! John walks us through all the stuff about comprehending the school ecology that you didn't learn in grad school—unless you went to teacher grad school—like the laws and regulations that mandate policies and the do's and dont's of providing services to students. If you haven't set foot in a public school since you grabbed your old principal handed you a diploma, you're about to take the first step into a larger world.

Since time immemorial BCBAs have looked at their seven-item array of candies and asked, “Why can't I do a preference assessment with huge items or unavailable activities?” Well, now you can with pictorial and/or video-based preference assessments! But don't take my word for it. Or, do take my word for it, but my word paired with the word of all the research on the subject. And if you're already using this technology in your preference assessments, shouldn't you better double-check that you're actually following the evidence-based guidelines.

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

El Estado del Análisis de la Conducta en Puerto Rico con la Dra. Yaniz Padilla Dalmau En este episodio, tuve el honor de conversar con la Dra. Yaniz Padilla Dalmau, una de las voces más comprometidas y visionarias en el desarrollo del análisis de la conducta en Puerto Rico.

Yaniz comparte no solo el panorama de necesidades, sino también el poder de la acción colectiva, el liderazgo comunitario y la importancia de diseminar ABA de manera ética, culturalmente sensible y alejada de mentalidades colonialistas. Aprendimos sobre iniciativas locales inspiradoras, el nacimiento de PRABA, y recomendaciones esenciales para quienes desean construir cambios reales y sostenibles en nuevas comunidades. Un episodio que nos invita a reflexionar sobre cómo practicamos, para quién practicamos, y cómo podemos hacerlo mejor, siempre honrando la cultura y el valor de las comunidades que servimos. The State of Behavior Analysis in Puerto Rico with Dr. Yaniz Padilla Dalmau In this episode, I had the honor of speaking with Dr. Yaniz Padilla Dalmau, one of the most committed and visionary voices advancing the field of behavior analysis in Puerto Rico. Through a conversation filled with realities, lessons, and hope, we explore the current state of ABA practice on the island, the systemic challenges faced by families and professionals, and the impact of language, economic, and structural barriers. Yaniz not only highlights the needs but also shows the power of collective action, community leadership, and the importance of disseminating ABA ethically, with cultural sensitivity, and free from colonialist mindsets. We learn about inspiring local initiatives, the formation of PRABA, and essential recommendations for those who wish to build real, sustainable change in new communities. This episode invites us to reflect on how we practice, for whom we practice, and how we can do better—always honoring the culture and the value of the communities we serve.

This podcast episode explores the critical topic of cultural responsiveness in behavior analytic practice, with a specific focus on understanding and addressing implicit biases that may affect service delivery. The discussion examines how unconscious racial biases and attitudes impact healthcare delivery broadly and connects these concepts specifically to behavior analytic services. The presentation advances knowledge of ethics by examining the ethical implications of cultural responsiveness and implicit bias in behavior analytic practice, helping behavior analysts fulfill their ethical obligation to provide culturally sensitive and equitable services to diverse populations. Participants will learn practical strategies for recognizing implicit bias, developing culturally responsive practices, and improving equitable service delivery in accordance with the Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts.  To earn CEUs for listening, click here, log in or sign up, pay the CEU fee, + take the attendance verification to generate your certificate!

“WAZOWSKI! YOU DIDN'T FILE YOUR PAPERWORK LAST NIGHT!” is a line that resonates with all of us (and we make about 50 times in this episode). But, despite a fear of our own personal Rozes at work, most of us still tend to let those pesky piles of papers slip our minds as we go about the important business of being a behavior analyst (the direct helping of others). But, as with most skills, there's got to be a better way and, this week, we take that mantra all the way to the In Box with research on how you too can become a paperwork pushing master.

Ret FBI Behavior Analysis Chief On How Selfless Richard Allen Is During Delphi Interrorgations, Not The Actions Of A Guilty Man In today's gripping episode, we dive deep into the emotional unraveling of Richard Allen, the man at the center of the Delphi murders case. Tony Brueski is joined by retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke to dissect the shocking recorded phone calls and confessions that many are holding up as evidence — but are they the product of truth, or of a shattered mind in crisis? Robin Dreeke brings his expertise in behavioral analysis to examine Allen's disturbing shift in tone — from confusion to confession — and explains why these supposed admissions may be rooted in psychosis, coercion, and extreme psychological manipulation. With evidence of Allen drinking toilet water, singing while engaging in self-harm, and hallucinating about nonexistent grandchildren, Dreeke makes the case that none of these "confessions" should ever hold weight in a court of law. This episode is essential listening for anyone following the Delphi murders, Richard Allen trial, or interested in how mental health, isolation tactics, and institutional failure can lead to false confessions. If you're searching for deeper truth behind viral headlines — and the science that explains how justice can go horribly wrong — hit play. Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

The HEARTBREAKING Delphi Jail House Calls Of Richard Allen, Broken Down With Ret FBI Behavior Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke In one of the most emotionally raw episodes to date, Tony Brueski is joined by retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke to break down the heart-wrenching jailhouse calls of Richard Allen, the man at the center of the Delphi murders case. These recorded conversations reveal a deteriorating state of mind — confusion, hopelessness, and a desperate need for connection. But do they reflect guilt, or something much more troubling? Dreeke guides listeners through the psychological indicators of mental breakdown and psychosis, pointing to evidence that Allen may no longer grasp reality — let alone his own words. With haunting lines like “I think I did” and repeated, contradictory confessions, the calls paint a picture of a man utterly broken by isolation, medication, and psychological strain. Dreeke explains why these alleged confessions should be viewed through a forensic behavioral lens — not as admissible truth, but as symptoms of trauma and manipulation. If you're following the Delphi case, searching for truth beyond headlines, or trying to understand how wrongful confessions happen, this episode offers expert insight and emotional gravity. Learn why these calls may represent not guilt, but a system failing a man at his most vulnerable — and what it says about the justice process in Delphi, Indiana.

Week one of the Lori Vallow Daybell trial is in the books — and what a week it was. In this powerful breakdown, Tony Brueski is joined by retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke to unpack the chaotic courtroom scenes, surreal self-representation tactics, and emotionally charged testimony that set the tone for one of the most bizarre murder trials in recent history. As Vallow plays both defendant and her own attorney, the courtroom becomes a stage for narcissism, misplaced priorities, and deeply personal vendettas. Dreeke offers behavioral insights into Vallow's obsessive questioning, her fixation on irrelevant personal details, and her increasingly combative tone — all while the prosecution builds a compelling case tying her to the conspiracy to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. The episode also dives into Vallow's spiritual delusions, alleged “zombie” language, and the looming introduction of her children's murders into the narrative. If you're following the Lori Vallow Daybell trial, fascinated by the psychology of defendants who represent themselves, or searching for expert legal and behavioral insight into a case steeped in religious extremism and family betrayal — this episode has it all.

In this powerful breakdown, Tony Brueski is joined by retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke to unpack the chaotic courtroom scenes, surreal self-representation tactics, and emotionally charged testimony that set the tone for one of the most bizarre murder trials in recent history. As Vallow plays both defendant and her own attorney, the courtroom becomes a stage for narcissism, misplaced priorities, and deeply personal vendettas. Dreeke offers behavioral insights into Vallow's obsessive questioning, her fixation on irrelevant personal details, and her increasingly combative tone — all while the prosecution builds a compelling case tying her to the conspiracy to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. The episode also dives into Vallow's spiritual delusions, alleged “zombie” language, and the looming introduction of her children's murders into the narrative. If you're following the Lori Vallow Daybell trial, fascinated by the psychology of defendants who represent themselves, or searching for expert legal and behavioral insight into a case steeped in religious extremism and family betrayal — this episode has it all.

Was Kohberger Living Out His 'American Psycho' Fantasy, Ret FBI Behavior Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke Weighs In What makes someone go from studying crime to allegedly committing one? In this chilling dive into the mind of alleged Idaho killer Bryan Kohberger, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to peel back the layers of psychology, behavior, and eyebrow-raising decisions. A criminology student who allegedly bought a tactical mask and knife long before the crime. A guy who may or may not have ghosted digitally at just the right time. Someone whose online posts eerily aligned with confidential case details—before the arrest. Sound like a coincidence, or just someone who watched American Psycho one too many times? As Dreeke points out, there's a big difference between fantasizing about crime and acting on it—but when that fantasy escalates into alleged planning and execution, the line gets dangerously blurry. We're talking behavioral patterns, emotional voids, creepy social media parallels, and a fascination with crime that might've gone way too far. Also: who poses in a shower, buttoned to the top, with "Psycho" energy radiating from every pixel? Did Bryan Kohberger allegedly leave a breadcrumb trail of his own making—or was he hiding in plain sight, daring the world to figure him out? What was the real switch that flipped—fantasy, feeling, or full-blown psychopathy? #BryanKohberger #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #BehavioralAnalysis #CriminologyGoneWrong #AmericanPsychoVibes #RobinDreekeAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Ret FBI Behavior Analysis Chief Breaks Down Karen Read's Contradicting Statements & Actions Did a true crime documentary just tank Karen Read's defense? When you're facing an alleged second-degree murder charge, most folks would advise you to keep your head down, stay quiet, and maybe—just maybe—not hand your unfiltered stream of consciousness to a documentary crew. But that's exactly what Karen Read did in “Body in the Snow”, the HBO Max/ID doc that might double as a cautionary tale for anyone with a pending trial. Tony Brueski and former FBI Behavioral Analyst Robin Dreeke break down Read's on-camera contradictions—from her teary musings of “What if I ran over his foot?” to suddenly being sure she didn't touch a hair on his head. The emotional tone? Weirdly upbeat. The logic? Like a drunk game of Clue with a broken compass. Robin calls it “word salad.” Tony calls it narcissistic. We just call it… yikes. Then there's the blogger—Turtleboy—who Read allegedly had daily contact with, feeding him info while he stirred a digital witch hunt. Online harassment, stalking, intimidation… and it's not even the second trial yet. Is Karen Read the victim of a smear campaign, or her own worst enemy with a podcast mic? #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillersPodcast #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #Turtleboy #BodyInTheSnow Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

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

While most of us engage with goal writing, have you ever stopped to think whether the goals you've proposed to your client are…pointless? If so, put down your bopy of “101 Great Trigonometry Objectives” and join us and special guest, Dr. Shanna Bahry, to explore resources for crafting goals with your clients that might actually lead them to a productive, happier adulthood. We review some useful tools from Dr. Bahry, some pointers for how to use (and NOT use) many popular assessments, and discuss where and when those trigonometry goals could meaningfully come into play. Yes, there's a time and place for every goal. This episode is available for 1.0 ETHICS CEU.

Since you can only get so far with surveys of how frequetly registered behavior technicians want to quit their jobs due to burnout, we wondered, is it possible to gather more relevant, actionable research questions? Enter Dr. Nicole Gravina who, with her colleagues, used qualitative analysis research design to dig deeper into more of the “whys” behind how burnout develops for RBTs in Florida, and what supervisors can do to help.

Maybe it's the lousy Smarch weather, but we're in a bit of a mood to start of this month. Not because our special guests aren't awesome. We had so much fun learning about qualitative analyses in exploring RBT burnout with Dr. Nicole Gravina and how to be more ethically responsible in creating meaningful goals for autistic adolescents and adults with Dr. Shanna Bahry. And not because we're not reviewing tough issues like turnover in human services, deconstructing ableist practices in the medical model, and respectfully disagreeing with the abolitionist neurodiversity critique.
