Evelyn was diagnosed with dyslexia as a child and spent much of her early education struggling to read and keep up in school. After moving to the United States in high school, she received Lindamood-Bell instruction that transformed her learning experience. She went on to attend her first-choice college, earn her degree, and build a successful career as a UI designer in the technology industry. In this episode, Evelyn reflects on the challenges she overcame and why she's passionate about helping others look beyond a diagnosis and recognize the strengths of individuals with dyslexia.  

In Session 331, I sat down with Dr. Ben Seifert to talk about some of the most challenging — and important — work happening in applied behavior analysis today: supporting individuals with severe problem behavior. Ben shared his journey into the field, beginning with his early experiences at Lindamood-Bell and later at BACA under the mentorship of Carl Sundberg and others who helped shape his clinical perspective. Along the way, we discussed what originally drew him toward working with clients who many providers often avoid, and why he remains deeply committed to ensuring that all individuals have access to meaningful, compassionate support. We spent a good amount of time talking about trends in the ABA marketplace, including the growing difficulty families face when trying to access services for older learners or individuals with significant behavioral challenges. Ben offered thoughtful commentary on how insurance systems, staffing pressures, and private equity may be influencing the types of services many organizations are willing to provide. Ben also shared several fascinating clinical stories that highlight the importance of long-term relationship building, careful observation, and interdisciplinary collaboration. One particularly memorable discussion centered around learning to identify subtle behavioral indicators of physical discomfort that would have been easy to miss in a traditional assessment framework. Toward the second half of the conversation, we shifted into supervision, staff training, and burnout prevention. Ben made a compelling point that supervisors should think of new staff members almost like new learners — people who require shaping, reinforcement, feedback, and support rather than immediate criticism when challenges arise. We also talked openly about clinician mental health, psychological safety within organizations, and the importance of creating environments where people can ask for help. Finally, Ben shared advice for newly certified BCBAs, including the importance of collaboration, humility, and learning from the frontline staff who often know clients best. This was a thoughtful and deeply practical conversation that I think clinicians, supervisors, and graduate students alike will get a lot out of. In this episode, we discuss: Ben's path into behavior analysis Early mentorship experiences at BACA His early career experiences at the Central Texas Autism Center What led him to found Collaborate ABA Why severe problem behavior services are becoming harder to access Insurance and marketplace pressures affecting clinical care The importance of interdisciplinary collaboration Clinical case examples involving subtle behavioral indicators Long-term relationship building with clients and families Supervision strategies for supporting RBTs and frontline staff Staff burnout and mental health Advice for newly certified BCBAs Reach out to Ben on LinkedIn, or follow Collaborate ABA in Instagram!

Why Literacy Reform Keeps Failing and What Actually Works | Lindamood-Bell Description: For four decades, well-intentioned literacy reforms have promised to fix America's reading crisis—from A Nation at Risk in 1983 to the current Science of Reading movement. Yet, despite these efforts, scores from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) continue to fall. Why haven't these reforms worked? Paul Worthington, Director of Research and Development at Lindamood-Bell, explores why reading instruction—even approaches grounded in the Science of Reading—often misses the mark. This webinar will examine the root causes behind decades of stalled progress and reveal the essential, often-overlooked skills that truly drive reading success. We discuss: Why past reforms have failed to deliver results The cognitive processes most reading programs overlook How Lindamood-Bell helps students achieve real, measurable gains in literacy At Lindamood-Bell, we develop the imagery-language foundation for reading, spelling, language comprehension, math, memory, and critical thinking.

While you'd like your son or daughter to love reading as much as you do, the reality may be just the opposite.

In this video, alumni parent, Melinda, describes how a Lindamood-Bell learning evaluation pinpointed exactly why her children were not excited about reading—and what could be done to help.
