Home dynamics are different than any other environment a person contacts. There are multiple competing contingencies, constantly fluctuating variables- laundry, meals, clean up, practice, therapy, appointments, medical issues, work, bills. Yet professionals often require parents to have the highest amount of fidelity regarding program implementation.This is the point where the scientific and ever-growing, ever-expanding technological world collide and produce a something that supports the needs of

Being an adult is difficult. Being an adult with disabilities is even harder. And being a caregiver (parent, family member, direct care staff) can be overwhelming, discouraging, often times leads to burn out. Many of these dyads (individual and caregiver), will be forced to navigate multiple systems, interact and adhere to professional recommendations and treatments, not to mention long learning and reinforcement histories that can lead to tangled webs of competing, interlocking, and overlapping

“They blinded me with science!” Many have had the experience of entering a session, excited to impart all the behavior analytic knowledge, only to watch the audience’s eyes glaze over. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand they’ve tuned out completely. The reality is, people go to professionals to get solutions for their problems, they don’t want a science class. It’s on the trainer to determine how to translate from technical jargon to a language that makes sense to the learner. And in this LIVE talk we’re going to

Anyone else ever get bored and just randomly start looking up various diagnoses and diseases to learn more about how it can present behaviorally? Or had a client on your caseload with a diagnosis you were unfamiliar with? There’s been an increase in discussion and representation of mental health over the last several years and as technology and research continue to advance, the likelihood of professionals working with unfamiliar diagnoses increases.

Some of our previous guests have talked about applying the science of behavior analysis to health, fitness, and wellness; creating programs for others, or oneself, to build and improve physical fitness. But sometimes, bodies give out and injuries happen. Then what? Can the science behavior analysis be applied to recovery? Dr. Brennan Armshaw joins us today to discuss how by expanding our perspective on WHAT IS behavior analysis we can begin to change the HOW of the HOW IS behavior analysis applied

Overtime. Pushing for a spot on the team. Gotta make the billable hours. No Pain, No Gain. Have to make the grade. These behaviors may ring too true for many, and they come with potentially fantastic reinforcers but how costly are these behaviors in the long run? It’s not uncommon these behaviors can signal burnout is on the horizon. And that’s ok. It’s understandable! Behavior is a product of the environment, multiple contingencies, competing reinforcement and burnout can be analyzed and addressed

Kellie worked with shelter animals, private practice, and her application of negative reinforcement to teach consent and approach behaviors with aggressive dogs, was ground-breaking, especially when it came to the concept of

“We don’t ever need to remove reinforcement from the learner to achieve success.” Maasa and Sean ABAI 2022 Many behavior analysts and animal trainers are familiar with the concept of differential reinforcement and planned ignoring- an undesired behavior occurs, and attention is removed until a desired behavior emerges then attention is delivered. But this quote from ABAI 2022 has resonated with our ATBA team. Has consideration been taken about the potential long-term emotional effects that could

"I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being." -Oscar Wilde There’s been a lot of discussion about empathy and compassion when it comes to providing behavior analytic services. Sometimes professionals get so caught up in the science they miss some of the more engaging and, dare I say, fun ways to learn and incorporate these concepts and still provide successful programs.

There’s a common adage: “You can’t understand another person until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.” Sometimes those shoes take you into lesser charted territories. In a previous episode we discussed applications of behavior analysis in rural communities, but not all rural communities are the same, and we would be remiss to assume so!

When people go about their daily activities, there is variable privilege in navigating the world. One way this shows up is in ableism, and people with non-disabled privilege may not even notice the ease they have with navigation and mobility, accessibility to escape uncomfortable situations with ease, and privilege in their opinions, choices, consent, and assent being acknowledged. For those with non-disabled privilege, this ease may feel “invisible” and like a given or a norm, however a social

“‘ABA’ -- You keep using this term. I do not think it means what you think it means.” While many practicing in the field of behavior analysis would like to believe the general populace has an accurate understanding of the science, it can’t be ignore that quite the opposite is true. Spend a few minutes googling “ABA” and one can find there is a plethora of misinformation and misunderstandings about the application of behavior analysis. And while the first reaction may be defensive, it’s worth taking

When creating goals, targets, programs, addition/removal of accommodations, are we genuinely listening to the needs and preferences of autistic individuals? Or do we find ourselves more likely to adhere to data and mastery criterion to direct our behaviors? As practitioners, we may mean well, but it is in our best interest to set aside our pride and take some time to listen to the voices of those who have personally experienced what we claim to understand.

And similar to their human counterparts, animals are unique creatures and the science of behavior analysis can help bridge the gap to understanding and working with animals.

Behavior Analysts know that the learner is always right, but there are cases where people start doubting this because of how disturbing some behaviors seem. It is important to always remember that the behavior is rational and makes sense regardless of how bizarre it may seem. In the Constructional Approach, no behavior is considered maladaptive. Behavior is considered always to be adaptive, although it can also often be very disturbing or costly. And therein lies one of its salient features: there
