Functional Communication Training (FCT) is a proven strategy to replace problem behaviors with effective communication skills. In her article, Practitioners Guide for Selecting Functional Communication Responses, published in Behavior Analysis in Practice, Dr. Bethjoy Houck offers practical advice to help clinicians implement FCT successfully.FCT focuses on giving learners a way to express their needs that works for them, whether through speech, sign language, cue cards, object exchanges, or even video clips. Dr. Houck shares creative examples that encourage thinking beyond traditional methods to meet each learner's unique needs.She stresses the importance of starting with assessments like Ringdahl's MTA or Valentino et al. to identify the best Functional Communication Responses (FCRs) for the individual. Practitioners should select FCRs that reinforce desired behaviors or are incompatible with the problem behavior. FCRs should be taken seriously and not unnecessarily restricted, as maintaining open and accessible communication is key to the success of FCT.Dr. Houck emphasizes that FCT is about meeting learners where they are and giving them tools to express themselves in ways that make sense for their abilities. Whether verbal or nonverbal, communication is an essential skill, and FCT helps individuals share their needs while fostering meaningful growth. #autism #speechtherapy What's Inside:What is Functional Communication Training?5 FCT recommendations for clinicians.What is an FCR?Getting started with FCT assessments.Mentioned In This Episode:ABA Speech: HomeJoin the aba speech connection membership

In this episode of De-Escalation Conversations, we delve into the fascinating world of neuroscience and its powerful connection to goal setting.  Kerry explores how setting clear, actionable goals not only directs our efforts effectively but also triggers changes in the way our brains operate. By breaking down the science behind goal achievement and the role of dopamine in reinforcing positive behavior, Kerry will provide practical tips for aligning our goals with our brain's natural processes.

Welcome to the DEC podcast.  I want to warn you that the subject matter in this podcast is for Mature Audiences and there may be some parts that are disturbing and Viewer Discretion is advised.   I'm going to be sharing a story with you today that is incredibly compelling.  It's about a 17-year-old girl and an Oxnard Police Officer – and I'm blessed to know both of them.  In this episode, you're going to have the privilege of listening to the conversation I had while speaking with one of them. On May 3rd, 2019, while in a dirt field behind a business in an commercial district, Oxnard CA Police Officer Timothy Roberts shot a 17-year-old girl three times.  He did that because, even though he was attempting De-Escalation, she had her mind made up that she wanted to die.  Not long after he arrived on scene, she charged at him with a knife forcing him to use deadly force.Roberts, then a 4-year veteran of the Oxnard Police Department, was the first officer on scene and found the teen standing in the parking lot. After the girl brandished a six-inch kitchen knife, Roberts commanded her to drop it while he backed away. A second officer arrived and was in the process of retrieving a less-lethal "beanbag" shotgun from his vehicle when the teen charged at Roberts. Officer Roberts fired three rounds, striking the girl all 3 times. The girl fell to the ground and the two officers immediately began providing first aid until paramedics arrived.The incident was captured in full by Officer Roberts' body-worn camera.  In the body-camera footage, the teen can be heard apologizing after she was shot, a guilt that would continue to grow during her stay at the hospital.Doctors initially weren't sure she would survive due to bleeding in her liver. They later warned she would not be able to walk again from a second bullet wound in her leg.The teen recalled the guilt that haunted her in the hospital, even affecting her dreams. She decided to make amends when she was discharged in June that year.The teen and the officer met in person for the first time on Jan. 23, 2020, and have remained in contact ever since.  This young lady said she wants to share the lessons she learned to promote mental health awareness.  She said, "In many of these situations, the person in my situation does not live.  I feel like it's my duty, as someone who lived, to promote mental health awareness."She went on to say, "Always be willing to reach out to someone who might be struggling.  Sure, you may be frustrated with them for feeling that way, but if you give them even the least bit of understanding and support, it's a gamechanger."If you're feeling despondent, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, for both English and Spanish speakers, can be reached at 988 or suicide prevention lifeline.orgKeep listening, there's a lot to unpack in today's show!IDEA - the International De-Escalation Association, is dedicated to Saving Lives, Reputations, & Relationships through Conflict De-Escalation & Communication Training for Teachers, Parents, and Public Safety Providers.Find more about How to Calm an Angry Person in 90 Seconds or Less Come visit us at the IDEA website (International De-Escalation Association): https://TheIdea.WorldSubscribe to our free weekly newsletter to stay up to date on the latest news and blogs about Schools, Police, Fire, Medical Services and Flight Attendants.Do you or your organization need Communication Skills and De-Escalation Training?

This episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast is a crossover show with Connected Communication. Ariel is joined by guest host Christine Mullaney to discuss what great communication is and what it isn't. KEY TAKEAWAYS My first big communication was with my spirit guides. I had abilities which I was aware of at about 3, but I didn't know that other people didn't have them until about 6. I realised that I couldn't work with human beings in the way other people did. I was seeing auras and energy around people, I was seeing spirits from the other side and nature intelligences.  I had a narcissist as a mother and I recognised there were mental health issues from an early age, I could sense that I wasn't safe on a bunch of different levels, including talking about these things. So, I started talking to my spirit guides to work out what was real and what wasn't, and they gave me meditation practices to combat my anxiety.  I wouldn't wish my childhood on anyone, and communicating with them kept me sane, balanced and getting through that into something more positive in my life. When we're communicating with people, we need to tune into how what they're saying makes us feel. I was on LinkedIn last night and I got a cold pitch, which I'm not a fan of, it was very cold, frosty, clinical and technically accurate. I gave the guy feedback that LinkedIn is not what this is for, it's about developing relationships. He said “I've been using AI and I'm not sure it's working”. That explained why it was so cold , frosty, distant and technically accurate: It was a computer! Trust your inner feelings and intuition. Your body and your auric fields can read the intention of the person you're communicating with, what's coming off of that person's chakras, what's in that person's energy field. If you feel openness, freedom, calm, peaceful, tranquil feelings or states, if you perceive that you feel relaxed, that's a response to a positive energy from that person. If you feel stressed, angry, resentful your beingness/body/energy field can read when someone's crossing a line. BEST MOMENTS“Spirit guides are beings whose goal is to help us develop spiritually.”“In my family, I'm the only person who doesn't have some kind of issue mentally where I don't need medication.”“We relate to the divine in a way that we can based on our consciousness as a filter. The more open your brain is, the more expanded your awareness of what Source energy is.”“We're going to have to get really smart in detecting AI, because it's learning how to use human-esque voices in the written word.” ABOUT THE GUEST HOSTChristine Mullaney is a nature-loving wanderer and adventurer by weekend and brain-based communication, public speaking and presentation skills coach on weekdays.  Her life task is to empower and enlighten through education.

In this episode Ariel is joined by Christine Mullaney about courage, opening up, changing, trusting, and self discovery. KEY TAKEAWAYS My journey with courage started when I was very young, but it became a key theme in my life at 17 when I had my first shamanic experience to cure a recurring problem with my throat. I met my first spirit guide, a wolf, who came to me for courage. But I'd say I've had to be courageous for much of my life, I've had a variety of experiences some of which have tried to knock me down or back. My TEDx talk came 6 months after leaving a narcissistically abusive relationship I'd been in for around 6 years. I in no way put all of what happened on him, he had his own life experience and was who he was because of his life experiences and I certainly didn't behave in ways that necessarily helped it. That's been my most recent healing journey. Part of coming back was the recognition that I had been a very strong, very confident, very open woman before that relationship and she wasn't gone, she'd just gone a different route before meandering back to the road that she wanted to be on. It's a spiral: We experience these things in life and we move through the spiral and each time we come out at a higher level of frequency. Maybe we need to repeat things again, each of my last three relationships had similar patterns – different kinds of addictive substances, abuse in some sort of form, but all centring back into the lived experience I had as a child. But, each time I came out of these relationships at a higher level of frequency, until l got to the point where I realised I could leave that spiral. I wanted to pitch the ripple effect of vulnerability to everybody through my TEDx talk because when we share our stories we create a ripple effect that helps other people have the courage to share theirs. BEST MOMENTS“I can choose to let life knock me down, and knock me back, and keep me where I am, or I can say ‘I'm going to face this, step forwards and through it, and come out the other side however I come out'.”“It's important to share your story, to be able to stand in your own power with respect to those around you and share from your truth.”“People talk about ‘the comfort zone', for me it's not really a comfort zone, it's a place where we're used to things happening and that's our normality.”“The meaning of courage is ‘heart', that's the etymology of it.” ABOUT THE GUESTChristine Mullaney is a nature-loving wanderer and adventurer by weekend and brain-based communication, public speaking and presentation skills coach on weekdays.  Her life task is to empower and enlighten through education.

Communication is one of the most important skills for a leader to have. It is the way that leaders share their vision, motivate their team, and build trust. Effective communication can help leaders to achieve their goals, improve morale, and create a more positive work environment. There are many different aspects to effective communication. Some of the most important include: Being clear and concise. Leaders should be able to communicate their ideas clearly and concisely. This means using simple language that is easy to understand, and avoiding jargon or technical terms. Being honest and transparent. Leaders should be honest with their team members, and they should be transparent about their decisions and goals. This helps to build trust and create a sense of shared purpose. Being open to feedback. Leaders should be open to feedback from their team members. This helps them to understand different perspectives and to make better decisions. Being a good listener. Leaders should be good listeners. This means paying attention to what their team members are saying, and it means being able to ask clarifying questions. Being adaptable. Leaders should be able to adapt their communication style to the situation. This means being able to communicate effectively in a variety of settings, with a variety of people. Maintaining effective communication is not always easy, but it is essential for leaders who want to be successful. By following the tips above, leaders can improve their communication skills and build stronger relationships with their team members. Here are some additional tips for leaders who want to improve their communication skills: Be mindful of your body language. Your body language can communicate just as much as your words, so it's important to be mindful of how you're coming across. Make eye contact, smile, and nod your head to show that you're listening. Use active listening skills. This means paying attention to what the other person is saying, and it means asking clarifying questions. It also means being patient and not interrupting. Be respectful of others' opinions. Even if you don't agree with someone, it's important to respect their opinion. This doesn't mean you have to agree with them, but it does mean listening to what they have to say and considering their perspective. Be open to feedback. No one is perfect, and leaders are no exception. Be open to feedback from your team members, and use it to improve your communication skills. Practice makes perfect. The more you communicate, the better you'll become at it. So get out there and start practicing!

Functional communication, or FCT, is a way to decrease problem behavior through teaching effective communication skills. Shira once had a student who had a ton of language. He would talk all the time in sentences and communicate what he wanted to do, but he didn't request things. He sometimes engaged in negative attention-seeking behavior but didn't know how to appropriately get attention. She taught him how to mand for attention by using text cues, which is an FCT technique, and he stopped engaging in aggression.All behavior is communication, and they're two sides of the same coin. Kids don't misbehave because they're bad or challenging, they're trying to get attention to get their needs met and it's often effective. With FCT, we are looking at how to increase the skill and give the child a replacement for the negative or unwanted behavior. The replacement needs to be faster, easier, and better than the negative behavior. Here, we discuss where to start when teaching mands, how to collect data, and how to avoid developing chains of responses by using transfer trials.What's Inside:What FCT is and how it helps correct unwanted behavior.Where to start when teaching mands.How to collect data.The importance of transfer trials.Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramThe Purpose of Transfer Trials

Your unconscious mind impacts everything. There are three types of ego: the controller, the compiler, and the protector. Each of us typically has all three of those egos, but with one or two of them being dominant. Your ego thinks fast, it's triggered by emotion, and when it's triggered it becomes defensive. The way to counter this is by taking a breath, being calm, and being conscious of your mindset. Once you bring awareness to yourself, look at what's really happening in the room and try to correct the direction of the discussion.Normalize it, get to the root, and just carry it. Don't give yourself any judgment, but make sure to recognize that you have ownership. Then, you are able to empathize with other perspectives around the situation. "Normalize it, get to the root, then now just carry it. Once you have a level of self awareness and ownership, you can get really curious as to why do [you] do that.  That's how you uncover those belief systems and mindset." —  Christie Garcia See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I  Connect with Christie Garcia:  Website: www.mindfulchoiceacademy.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/mindfulchoice_Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindfulchoiceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christiegarcia/ Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/Twitter: https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
