Summary In full transparency, The BoatCast thought it would be great for fellow Philly natives, Floorbird, to jump in at the end of their Cincy-based brothers Green Light Morning's podcast, since the two Sixthman Soundcheck winning bands had podcasts scheduled back to back and had become fast friends aboard TRB XXIII. The result was something out of a music lover's dream - an extraordinary collaboration between the two beloved bands. The episode takes listeners on an engaging journey filled with lively discussions ranging from NCAA women's basketball, to curing pediatric cancer, to Euchre... Oh, and they discussed music a bit too. The highlight of the episode is the upcoming Rock by the Sea event, a charity music festival dedicated to raising funds for pediatric cancer research, where both bands share their enthusiasm and preparations. Our hosts delve into the personal experiences of the band members, their practice routines, and some humorous anecdotes, all while emphasizing the importance of the charity aspect of the event. Listeners are encouraged to support the noble cause by buying a ticket to the festival and participating in the festival's activities (, including a cornhole and Euchre tournament). This episode of The BoatCast is not only the longest episode ever, but offers the most off the cuff banter and heartfelt discussions - showcasing the camaraderie and passion of the everyone involved. p.s.

2023 was an awesome year full of amazing experiences. As we close out the year, we wanted to share everything How to ABA has done through a year in review. One of the most significant things we did was launch our Bx Blueprint, which is a series of videos for paraprofessionals and RBTS. It's 20 hours of content and it's perfect for RBTs looking for extra certification for their jobs. It's also great for onboarding staff and helping them get acclimated to their roles.One of our major goals at How to ABA is to make your jobs just a little bit easier because we're in the field doing those jobs as well. We have so much in store for 2024. We're also in the process of launching another course on executive functioning with Dr. Alan Schnee. Here, we also talk about the guests we've had on the podcast this year, the CEUs we've offered, and more.What's Inside:Our launch of the Bx Blueprint and how it can helpOur collaboration with Dr. Alan Schnee on a new courseA recap of our guests and offered CEUsMentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

Chris Collins is the Executive Director of Ability to Include, and he joins us here for a chat about what he's been up to in the field. Since the last time we spoke to Chris, he's expanded his business ventures. Today, he's focused on social skills within team sports. As an RBT, Chris coached soccer and realized there was room for ABA strategies on and off the field. Currently, Chris works with a variety of different children, including those on the spectrum.Chris shares insights into inclusion, which has become sort of a buzzword. While many define inclusion as mixing autistic children into a regular classroom setting, for Chris, it goes beyond autism. Kids with medical complexities, learning disabilities, and trauma also face unique challenges and inclusion should be extended to them as well. Our conversation with Chris also includes how he obtains funding, his thoughts on the future of ABA, and why we need better training and development for RBTs.

ABA professionals play a significant role in helping individuals achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. We should all be aware of what an appropriate level of professionalism is and how we can show it in our roles as ABA therapists, RBTs, and paraprofessionals. Here, we start out by defining professionalism, which goes beyond simply dressing well and having a fancy title. True professionalism is a wide range of attitudes, behaviors, ethical considerations, and more.One of the core ways of showing professionalism is to leave your personal problems at the door before you walk into a classroom or client's home. We discuss how to identify and manage those times when you might need a break, as well as how to put together a professional appearance. We also talk about showing professionalism towards families, how to maintain boundaries with coworkers and clients, and the importance of communicating effectively.  What's Inside:The definition of professionalism and how it applies to ABA.How to maintain a professional appearance.How to set boundaries with coworkers and families.Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramEthical Compliance Code for Behavior AnalystsThe Bx Blueprint

Kelly & Jen talk with long-time Registered Behavior Therapist Salvador Cadenas about why he works with children and adults on the autism spectrum with severe behavior and shares his perspective on what BCBAs and families get right to keep behavior interventionists (RBTs) in their jobs, and what they don't get right, which may contribute to turnover and burnout. In this session, we also discuss the importance of not using jargon when working with families and reference the following research article: Effects of Jargon on Parent Implementation of Discrete Trial Teaching | Request PDF (researchgate.net) Salvador is also a published author and you can find his book here: The Lonely Blue: Cadenas Jr, Salvador, Bacon, Erika: 9798511837178: Amazon.com: Books Sponsored by: Cite Pro

RBTs, paraprofessionals, therapists, and aides all work with our learners every single day. We're introducing a brand-new training course called the Bx Blueprint and it's been created specifically for these roles. Onboarding new staff takes up a considerable amount of our time as ABA professionals and can often be overwhelming for both new hires and managers. However, our staff is our biggest resource, and we have to put the time in to train them properly.The Bx Blueprint includes everything you need for onboarding and beyond. New staff members want to learn and see their learners succeed but often don't have the support. The Bx Blueprint eases the burden on BCBAs and walks new staff through all the common terminology and techniques used day to day. In the course, we cover the basics of ABA, including reinforcement, pairing, data collection, and teaching. In this episode, we also discuss who would benefit the most from our new program.What's Inside:Why it's so important to properly onboard new staffDetails on our new course, the Bx BlueprintWho benefits from the Bx BlueprintMentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

Continuity of quality service might be one of the most important aspects of treatment with successful outcomes. Quality can refer to a number of variables including a strong rapport between client (and family) and clinicians, built over time with a steady progression of engaging and reinforcing sessions. While case managers are part of this quality service, it is inevitably the registered behavior technicians (RBTs) who share the most time and encounters with client and family. often in the family home. Hence, the reality of turnover of staff, or perhaps the necessity for 'time-off,' can create a semblance of discontinuity in service all on its own. In this episode, Dan and Mike revisit a 'company line' oft used to promote parameters like 'sub' clinicians when assigned staff is unavailable for a session and client as usual--the RBT is 'a service, not a person.' All the while, Mike splits time between being a 'sub' of sorts himself, caring for his 2-year-old while 'mama' is away, as Dan and he analyze the pros and cons of seeing the RBT as a service, and not a person.Lots to analyze in this tasty brew--a hint of bitterness, perhaps a bit sour at times, but it promises a smooth finish.

In ABA, we use lots of different assessments to determine our learners' strengths and where they may need more help. Here, we cover the most common ABA assessments and how to know which one to use. The purpose of assessments is to provide us with a starting point and create a baseline. When you're clear on where you're starting from, you can then create a successful intervention. Assessments also help us look at the big picture and help our learners meet their goals along the way. One of the biggest misconceptions about assessments is that they're the same as a curriculum, and we discuss why this isn't the case. Teaching to assessments creates cookie-cutter programs, and good ABA involves customizing interventions to our learners' unique needs. Some of the most common assessments include ABLLS and VB Mapp, and we compare and contrast the two here. We also discuss the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) and why it's good for early learners, why you shouldn't outsource assessments to RBTs, information on PEAK, and tips for how to complete a successful assessment. What's Inside:The importance of ABA assessments.When and how to use the ABLLS and VB Mapp assessments.Tips for completing a successful assessment.Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramHowtoABA.com/Assessments

There is a moral and ethical imperative to address burnout in physicians." So says the Mayo Clinic and such is Sarah's passion for addressing burnout in our own ABA field. This isn't a 'nice to have' for ABA organizations, it's a must. Sarah's a lively and engaging breath of fresh air: though she's self-admittedly from "the Jurassic Age" as the 1,000th-ish BCBA, she brings a very direct perspective and message to ABA owners to get this right. But she also has a powerful message for individual BCBAs, RBTs, leaders, and owners that we must "recognize our own blind spots" and be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

This episode is worth 0.5 BACB Supervision CEs - http://ow.ly/N6HJ50MI6o3 - Today Dr. Nasiah Cirincione-Ulezi speaks with Dr. Natalie Williams Awodeha for this podcast CE Event. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that 11.2% of adults aged 18 years and over report regular feelings of worry, nervousness, or anxiety (Clark et al. 2019). To effectively assess and address turnover in ABA workplace settings, additional research is needed that goes beyond the surface, exploring the ways in which work environments may serve as a source of trauma for staff in ABA settings. Mental disorders are often diagnosed in young adulthood, and research states the adolescent brain, specifically, the prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until as late as 25 years old (Arain, 2013). Although age is not a demographic reported by the BACB, anecdotal reports suggest many RBTs, BCaBAs, practicum students, and new BCBAs fall within this late adolescent stage, as entry-level and early career professionals. It is incumbent upon supervisors to understand the role of trauma and the impact of Adverse Child Experiences (ACEs), among other life experiences, on mental and physical health, considering the high rates of mental health concerns among adult populations. In this presentation, attendees will explore resources, including Mental Health First Aid certification, help supervisors identify and intervene with supervisees while staying within their scope of competence. Attendees will identify ways to mitigate potential triggers in the workplace to create psychologically safe environments for supervisees. Attendees will also discuss the impact of culturally responsive trauma-informed supervision on client outcomes in ABA settings. The presenter will share relevant research, in addition to personal narratives from the presenter's lived experiences. -- If you have questions, comments, feedback, or suggestions, please reach out to operantinnovations@abatechnologies.com

I've been asked many times to highlight the work of Registered Behavioral Technicians, and in this installment of the Apollo Case Study Series, we do just that.   Dr. Jim Moore, Rachel Packiam (Director of Clinical Excellence), Christina Halverson (RBT Training Coordinator), and Emily Jackson (Lead RBT) joined me to discuss Apollo's unique organizational strategies for onboarding and training their RBTs.   As you'll learn in this episode, by the time an RBT works 1:1 with a child, they have had the training and confidence necessary to implement programming successfully. It is important to emphasize that this just doesn't happen by accident. There are many additional hours of supervising and mentoring that happen - hours that go far beyond the basic requirements. And as an outsider looking in, it's impressive to me just how much non-billable time they invest in ensuring their staff are as prepared as possible.   If you're a practice owner, or if you have some administrative role, you're going to want to grab a pen and paper to take some notes, because there are a lot of ideas for staff development and support in this podcast. We go over topics including rapport-building with trainees, soft-skills, staff morale, professionalism, teaching and upholding core organizational values, common struggles of trainees, and lots more!   If you're an RBT or BCBA, and this model of training and service delivery appeals to you, connect with Jim, or contact the folks at Apollo directly to learn more about potential job opportunities in their Atlanta-area clinics.  

Leading Through Change with Dr. Breanne Hartley"Simpatico": that's the deep alignment I feel with Breanne about salient topics in our field. We dish on ABA's transition to the "medical model", on the work needed to invest in RBTs, how to lead through change, how to look outside our field for patterns that can predict our future ... and so much more.

There's a need and a demand for ABA services with increased funding beginning to occur. The Behavior Analysis field has some great momentum but as the field grows, and large private equity firms enter this space, there is a concern of degradation of the treatment provided and the quality of services. In this episode, Dr. Graham Taylor speaks with Karen Chung, Karen has 12 years of experience as a Certified Behavioral Analyst and is the CEO and founder of Special Learning, Inc., an education technology company that delivers web-based training, virtual supervision, and consultation for BCBAs anywhere in the world. Aside from her work with Special Learning, Karen has been at work building the Ethical Standards Board, an online database of certified ABAs and registered behavioral technicians available for the public to find qualified clinicians and agencies. Together they discuss the current state of the Behavioral Analysis field, some of the challenges of rapid growth, and the demand for services, as well as highlighting some of the gaps in the ethics code and how that fails to regulate the quality of treatment from large private equity firms. Finally, we discuss a new service called the Ethics Standards Board for ABA Centers (ESBAP), which provides a centralized database of ABA Agencies that are rated by their performance by peers as well as by their clients. ESBAP is creating a resource available to the public, to help shift and support those organizations that are behaving ethically, doing quality work, and outcomes-oriented that have opportunities for RBTs to find a career path to mentorship.   For more information about Special Learning Inc., please visit: https://www.special-learning.com/ To contact Karen Chung, please email at kchung@special-learning.com For more information about the Ethical Standards Board for ABA Centers, the ESBAP, please visit: https://esbap.org/

Today, we're talking about what not to do as an ABA practitioner. We're going to review our top five don't-dos as a professional in the field. When we were preparing, it was difficult to narrow it down to just five, but we discuss what we believe are the most important things to keep in mind. It's also difficult to talk about what not to do without speaking about what you should do, so we'll offer you some tips to help you in your jobs.First, you want to avoid using technical jargon. Dumbing things down and putting concepts into practical language isn't just beneficial to parents, but also to newly minted RBTs and BCBAs. Second, avoid being condescending. Speaking too technically can sometimes carry an “I know more than you do” feel, especially if you're in someone's home and notice right away what needs to be fixed. Third, it's so important to be yourself and bring who you are into your job. Our fourth don't is that we shouldn't be working to reduce a problem behavior without introducing a replacement skill. And lastly, don't number five is to remember you don't know everything. We can always learn from the families we work with, along with our colleagues.What's Inside:What not to do as an ABA professional.Tips on how to turn our top five don'ts into dos.Why it's important to be yourself.Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

Today, we are talking with Michelle Vinokurov, who is a paraprofessional and RBT autistic advocate. She was diagnosed with autism at the age of two and was non-verbal until age six. Michelle's parents advocated for her early on and got her involved with speech therapy, ABA, occupational and physical therapy. As she got older, she gained a lot more skills, including handwriting, and her services were gradually reduced. Today, she works with elementary school students with disabilities and started working as an RBT this year. Michelle's own personal experiences inspired her to work in the field and it's been fascinating for her to witness everything that's changed. Michelle talks about using food as reinforcers and how some of the foods people used in the past just weren't healthy. The field has come a long way, including giving clients more of a choice when it comes to reinforcers. Making sessions fun for both the client and the practitioner is important, and RBTs should be encouraged to be themselves. We talk about the differences between school and home settings, how to clarify the benefits of ABA for parents, and advice for a new RBT or ABA professional.

In these next few podcasts, we wanted to give you a sneak peek into our monthly mentorship meetings. These meetings are dedicated to answering questions from How To ABA members. Every month, we meet to discuss a variety of different issues as it relates to being a BCBA in today's environment. During this first sneak peek, some of the topics include working with attention-seeking learners, tips to help RBTs to stay engaged with clients, and ideas for sensory social routines.To join us on the next monthly membership call, become a member of the behavior resource by visiting our website below.  What's Inside:How to work with attention-seeking learners.How to help RBTs stay energized and engaged.Suggestions for sensory social routines. Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

Are you struggling with the BCBA exam or trying to teach RBTs new concepts for your clients? This article, while it seems like an academia and classroom teaching intervention, can help with both of those struggles. After all, RBT training is just small group classroom education. The strategy of interteaching has been used throughout education and has resulted in increases in grades, participation, and even student ratings. However, there is still more research needed on the components necessary to maintain this increase in behavior. This study looks at all the different components and does a component analysis to determine the components that result in the greatest change in behavior. In my opinion, this article is a must read (or listen) for all the practitioners trying to supervise and train RBTs in any fashion. By utilizing more efficient teaching strategies, fidelity of treatments will increase and client outcomes will improve. 

Staff training is an important part of our jobs. Whether you're with supervisees, RBTs, or teachers, knowing your audience and having realistic expectations going into the training makes all the difference. Don't assume that your audience knows as much as you do about the topic you're presenting on and always start with what they understand. Set easy, attainable goals and consider using breakout groups to make things interactive. Adding video is another great way to mix things up and keep people engaged.Having your trainees walk away with handouts and visuals helps make things concrete. Handouts help tremendously with more technical concepts and can be used for future reference. Doing a pre and post-test helps track progress on learning and how effective your training has been. Senior members of your organization are great resources to help you with training, especially if you're hosting a large group. Always use stories and anecdotes that are relevant to you and your audience. We are pleased to announce that we've made our staff training series available! Instead of reinventing the wheel, we've made it easy for you by creating reusable, editable training templates on a variety of different topics. They range from basic principles to more sophisticated concepts, like teaching language. There are ten different pieces of training that can be purchased individually, or you may purchase the bundle at a discount.

In collaboration with the Centria Ethics Committee, we explore our October Ethics topic of "giving and receiving feedback" related to the RBT Ethics Code 2.0 section: 2.03 - RBTs conduct themselves in a professional manner during all work activities (e.g., delivering services, receiving training or supervision). They take action to improve their performance following feedback from supervisors. Our roundtable discussion includes both Supervising Clinician and behavior technician perspectives on giving and receiving feedback, how feedback can go wrong, and feedback pro-tips to improve your practice! We also explore the common feedback "sandwich method" approach when viewed from a behavior analytic perspective with some key considerations and takeaways! Comment or Question?

“How do you know someone is fluent?” When they demonstrate certain behaviors? Emit certain phrases and buzz words? Complete their SAFMEDS in record time? What about the outcomes we're usually interested in: understanding what other people are doing and why they are doing it, and describing it in such that a way that ties it to behavioral principles. Meaning, breaking down the information we're given into relevant behavior elements (Humility Note: don't break it down and feed it back to them. Please do it in your own head unless they ask you). Once you have your internal translation, use plain language to gauge your own and your listener's understanding, instead of relying on jargon. Learning Objectives: 1. Provide definitions of fluency in both behavior analytic and layman's terms. 2. Describe the values of being fluent in one's practice and science. 3. Describe ways to assess fluency. Take Aways- your bite-sized educational noms: - Check your audience: Provide examples with topics that are known and understood in that person's repertoire and experiences. Forcing jargon doesn't change a person's understanding (and it probably doesn't do great things for rapport and pairing). - Receive instead of transmit: Instead of prescribing, consider what question to ask next to gain more information and paint a more accurate picture. Operate under the assumption that everyone has something to add. - Values of Fluency: Deeper understanding of what other people are doing and why they are doing it, efficacy, improved perspective taking. - Something to consider- we require new practitioners (RBTS, newly certified BCBAs,and BCaBAs) to use perfect jargon when answering questions, interacting with other professionals and stakeholders, yet, they lack experience. How does this style of training potentially hinder the progress of our field and consumers?

Can you imagine if someone stood over you and evaluated your behavior with a clipboard while you were trying to act naturally? Organically evaluating your student or client's progress while they participate in group activities can be a challenge, but it's one that Shayna Gaunt happily takes on.There are a variety of assessments that are available to use to help you figure out where a student is at, and Shayna often combines assessments because none of them are completely perfect. She's rewritten the VB-MAPP to help with some of the more abstract skills that students have to learn, and she shares with me how she creates groups for in-person or telehealth therapy sessions.Shayna and I know that it can be lonely and overwhelming for therapists, especially since so many of us are virtual now.

We begin with M*A*S*H (1970) - the movie that started a TV show that lasted longer than the Korean war it portrays at a time when America needed an outlet for Vietnam angst. Machismo overcomes emasculation in Westworld (1973) with gritty gunslingers and sex robots. The paramilitary police surveillance state is closer than we think in Blue Thunder (1983) but let's turn it into a weekly fluffy police drama. Based on a true story (not), Fargo (1996) divides us with its ineptitude noir and the banality of evil.Also: Joe tries to bond with #PERL the cat - literally. Laugh track vs. no laugh track. Dee shits on Joe’s facts. We uncover the earliest use of the word “fuck” in cinema. Robots? No! Rbts! RBTS! Dee isn’t impressed by a rubber snake. JAFO, FNG, and REMF explained. Mario Machado! Yah. Yaaaaaah. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. (Go Bears). Dee hates on Minnesota nice. We play a game of “... the TV show!” and Nerd Fight this week is movies that should be turned into TV shows.
