Podcasts about behavioral interventions

Watching treatment implementation is one of the key determinants behind whether great treatments lead to great results. But, deep down in our hearts, we all struggle to hit that magic 33% of sessions with greater than 80% agreement we all learned about in graduate school. But, what if interobserver agreement didn't have to be that. What if we were thinking about IOA all wrong? This week we brush up on some of the basics of IOA procedures like “How do I calculate IOA again?” before moving on to more interesting research in the field like training folks to take good IOA and questioning the standard wisdom of how much IOA is good enough. We'll be watching you! This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Hausman, N.L., Javed, N., Bednar, M.K., Guell, M., Schaller, E., Nevill, R.E., & Kahng, S.

Now that we've got some vacation time coming up in our near futures, we can sit back, relax…and make our listener's choose our episodes for us! That's right. We've got not one but TWO polls for listeners this month that will determine our summer Listener Choice topic as well as the next year's worth of Book Clubs. Excited to vote? Well, only patrons (at ANY level) will have access to the LC and Book Club polls so, if you haven't signed up yet, better get on it before everyone else chooses your books for you. Oh, and we have a full month of episodes all about IOA, working with an interpreter, and a whole grab bag of ethics! So, by vacation, we meant podcasting wearing sunglasses and shorts.

Perfectionism is something many people strive to achieve. It can drive high standards and motivation. But according to Dr. Greg Chasson, perfectionism does not necessarily equate to excellence. He contends that those who establish such a high standard of rigid ideals for themselves often become paralyzed because they're afraid that they will make mistakes or fail to meet expectations. He offers practical strategies to manage perfectionism. Dr. Chasson is a licensed clinical psychologist, board-certified cognitive-behavioral therapist, and the director of Behavioral Interventions of the Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders Clinic in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience at the University of Chicago. Over the past two decades, Dr. Chasson has provided cognitive-behavioral therapy for clinically severe perfectionism He has authored or co-authored more than 70 scientific publications and is the author of the book, Flawed: Why Perfectionism is a Challenge for Management.

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

First up, as visit from our favorite mythical bunny with a grab bag of goodies in the form of new articles to discuss. Then finally wrap up our (winter!) Listener Choice episode with a tutorial on token economies before coming up with new ways to finish our paperwork and create meaningful family supports. Then, for patrons-only, our Spring Book Club looking at the female neurodivergent-supporting book, Divergent Mind.

New federal data paints a stark picture: American children are falling behind in reading and test scores, with the gap between advantaged and disadvantaged kids growing wider. But is this really just a problem of money? University of Chicago Developmental psychologist Ariel Kalil has spent her career studying how parents influence childhood development—not just through resources, but through daily habits and interactions.On this episode, we explore the surprising science behind parental engagement, the behavioral biases that shape parenting decisions, and why simple interventions—like 15 minutes of reading a day—can have an outsized impact. Plus, we discuss how AI and behavioral economics might provide new solutions for supporting parents in an era of rising inequality.

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.

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. Now that I'm writing about all the awesome episodes coming out this month, I can't even remember why we sound so crabby. Oh, right…the state of the United States political system. And rude emails.

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?

Though many of us likely think of ourselves as talendted clinicians, do we honestly consider our work with others to be considered art? Well, Richard Foxx did and so, apparently, do a lot of behavior analysts who think its high time we operationalize and train folks in the field on some of the skills that make creating a therapeutic alliance seem so effortless (at least, for some of us!). Thanks to our fabulous patrons, we're digging into the topic of behavioral artistry. Are there really skills that separate the artist BCBAs from the jobbers? And if so, how does one become an artiste de behavior analysis? This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Patrons, don't forget to get your code for a free CE for listening to this episode.

Just because something is popular doesn't make it right. And this week we talk about the most unethical example of this in reviewing the costs and dangers of fad treatments. While we spend a good deal of time discussing sensory integration, the hypothesis behind it as a treatment, and its effectivness (or lack thereof) in behavioral treatment, we also review some of the other fad treatments we've seen over the years, and how you can be ethical, avoid fads, AND not look like a big jerk.

We've discussed that discrete trial teaching is incredibly beneficial for our students with autism, but naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions are also very impactful for teaching students with autism. NDBIs allow students to practice skills in their natural, everyday environment, allowing them to generalize skills while initially developing these skills.In this episode, I am diving into naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions. I am sharing what NDBIs are, the 3 key elements of NDBIs, and the benefits of this type of teaching. 02:03 - What naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions are07:11 - Why NDBI focuses on teaching what students encounter in their everyday life10:15 - How naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions integrate teaching skills with the student's daily activities17:02 - Why using functional reinforcers is key in NDBIsShow Notes: http://autismclassroomresources.com/episode190Resources:Five Considerations in Teaching Receptive Vocabulary Plus a FREEBIE!I Spy Game for Practicing Expressive Language, Vocabulary, and Receptive LanguageI Spy Winter Language Activity Scenes for Special Education Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions: Empirically Validated Treatments for Autism Spectrum DisorderJoin the Autism Classroom Resources' Free Resource Library (includes the I Spy Freebie!)Get more information about the Special Educator AcademyJoin the Free Facebook Group If you're enjoying this podcast, could you please take a quick moment to leave your review on Apple Podcasts?

Managing ADHD and finding effective behavioral interventions can indeed feel overwhelming and challenging for most parents. Parents often grapple with questions about the most suitable approach and the potential effectiveness of various treatments. It's a journey that demands time, patience, and dedication.Simply wishing for things to take a positive turn won't work. You have to exert efforts in putting yourself or your kid to action. Luckily, we're going to discuss all about behavioral interventions for ADHD so you can manage your kid's behaviors better. Behavioral interventions.There are many ADHD behavioral interventions available and in discussing these, it's essential to consider various approaches for both home and school environments. We have to emphasize that action is key when a child is struggling.Behavioral interventions for ADHD are greatly important in addressing negative behavior and managing the often-severe ADHD symptoms that children may exhibit. When dealing with a child's behavior affected by ADHD, negative behavior can manifest as impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity, leading to academic, social, and emotional challenges. Thus, these behavioral treatment strategies are designed to target and modify these negative behaviors, focusing on providing coping mechanisms and skill-building techniques.In behavioral treatments, an emphasis is placed on understanding the triggers of negative behavior, identifying patterns, and implementing appropriate strategies to mitigate these issues effectively. For children with severe ADHD symptoms, behavioral interventions are vital in helping them gain better control over their impulses, attention span, and emotional responses. These interventions are done to encourage positive behaviors, improve self-regulation, and enhance overall functioning in various aspects of a child's life.Through consistent application of behavioral interventions, parents, caregivers, and educators can play a pivotal role in shaping a child's behavior positively. This proactive approach involves implementing strategies that acknowledge the unique needs and challenges of the child, ultimately fostering an environment conducive to their growth and development.Behavioral parent training is of great importance and I feel like somehow, we don't talk about parental support enough. Parents play a crucial role in shaping their child's behaviors, and this training equips them with effective strategies and communication skills. It involves role-playing, problem-solving, focusing on positive behaviors, and even mirroring successful school-based interventions at home which can provide valuable structure and support for children with ADHD.Self-management interventions.As parents, it is natural for us to want the best for our children. We thus want our kids to be independent and have good executive functioning skills. This doesn't happen overnight; it requires a lot of fostering and reinforcing of the desired skills that we want them to have.Dealing with ADHD brings a common challenge—difficulty in listening and following directions due to attention issues. It's crucial to work on building self-management skills and improving executive functioning to promote and ensure effective self-regulation and planning. We have to keep in mind that without emotional self regulation, no learning can occur. You can go to this link for useful tools and valuable resource and insights for parents: https://drroseann.com/webinarSocial skills interventions.One of my favorite interventions for kids with ADHD is social skills intervention and social skills training. Oftentimes, we end up neglecting social and emotional development at the expense of academics. We have to bear in our minds that...

While we all love a good snack, and we can all agree the we'd do almost anything for a Klondike bar, there's more to life than food. So why do behavior analysts get stuck on using edibles as the be all and end all of reinforcement in behavior acquisition? This week, we take a look at the research to see if edible reinforcers really should be selling like hotcakes or if there's more to reinforcement than chocolate-covered potato chips.

So the worst season is upon us, but we're still raring to podcast about behavior analysis. This month in between gardening and umbrella-buying, we're planning a good ol' bevy of discussions on topics such as moving away from edible reinforcement in programming and behavioral instruction with special guest, Dr. Kendra Guinness, plus (for Patreon subscribers) our whole discussion of “Calling Bullshit: The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World” by Bergstrom and West. At least it's warm enough for another dip into the grab bag to round out the month. Articles for April 2023 Grab Bag Gab Gale, C.M., Eikeseth, S., & Eikeseth, F.F. (2023).

Like us, did you think precision teaching was all about the actual teaching? It's about the measurement, man! Once we get that figured out, we take a tour of precision teaching in the recent literature from classrooms to college students to consultation through telehealth. Plus, we try to come to terms with standard celeration charts (and mostly succeed). This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

Our town may have called a snow day, but that won't stop us from getting out this month's preview episode! First, we'll be discussing a listener request on precision teaching before welcoming Dr. Johanna Staubitz to the program to review her work with students with emotional/behavioral disorders. Finally, we turn our sights on the analysis and treatment of perseverative verbal topics to wrap up. And that doesn't even include our live episode for patrons on ethics and conversion therapy as a follow-up to our previous discussion with Sarah Campau and Dr. Matt Capriotti and Spring Book Club poll on the subject of critical thinking and skepticism. We sure did cram a lot into 28 days! Articles for February 2023 Precision Teaching McTiernan, A., McCoy, A., Mendonca, J., Lydon, H., & Diffley, S. (2021).
