Hey, ABA Inside Track, I thought I told you not to podcast in here no more. Hey, did you record that episode on research on bullying behavior? You took notes on a meta-analysis of current bullying prevention programs and single-subject research looking closer at specific programs in behavior analysis, including a program for individuals with disabilities? Think, ABA Inside Track, think! If you put out an episode detailing effective treatment for decreasing bullying behavior and improving victimization outcomes, I'll be out of a job, and you wouldn't want that to happen, woudja? Wouldja?

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

And yea, the functional analysis sprung from the head of Iwata et al. And the results were good. Fast forward a few decades and researchers are still exploring the limits of this game changing assessment tool, finding ways for BCBAs to conduct safer and faster procedures. And to sum up some recent touchstone moments in this journey, we're joined by researcher and FA history expert, Dr. Jessica Slaton to look at 40 year…and beyond!

Unlike mercy, our quality of life does NOT droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven. Instead, our perception of how well (or not) our lives are is based on a number of factors relating to job satisfaction, social relationships, and physical wellbeing. Or so we thought. Turns out, all measures of quality of life may not be created equally, especially for autistic individuals. This week, we hit the research journals to identify what does and doesn't matter in improving quality of life (and, what research still has to find out!).

We were walking through the park today, because it's the Merry Merry Month of May! And, who should we run into but our book club pal, Alan, to ring in the new topics we'll be discussing this month. After reminiscing on the fun of discussing Neurotribes, we look forward to our episodes on quality of life, bullying, and the evolution of the functional analysis with Dr. Jessica Slaton. We're about as funny as a screen door on a battleship.

Show notes

NOTE: This episode is no longer available for CEs.

Got any behavior analytic research?

Plenty! And good as only ABA Inside Track could discuss 'em. Special sweet articles, spicy with bits of behavioral technologies like preference assessments, functional analyses, and plain ones like pre-post test designs that graph up all crunchy.

Hard to choose which one to discuss first.

That's some problem. You try 'em! Behavior analytic research reviews as only ABA Inside Track could discuss 'em.

'Cause ABA Inside Track remembers.

This week Camille Morgan, host of the Love, Sex, and ABA podcast, joins us to talk…well, love, sex, and ABA. Specifically we discussed the long and continuing work of the civil rights movement, what verbal behavior and ACT can add to the work of black liberation, and how these conversations relate to equal rights for the LGBTQIA+ community.

Episode 162 - Tummy Time Apr 14, 2021

Show notes

NOTE: This episode is no longer available for CEs.

Going way back to our very first episode, we're talking all about tummy time. You know, that fun activity where you put a baby on its stomach to strengthen muscles and minimize the risk of getting a flat head. The one that makes most babies cry hysterically. Now research is here to inform how we can promote this very necessary activity without all the tears. Don't shell out your hard-earned cash on a tummy time play mat until you've listened to this episode!

Now that we've gotten our vaccines, we're all back together at the studio table and raring to discuss this month's episodes. First, we're taking it back to the beginning with an episode on infant behavior, specifically, tummy time. Then we'll be joined by Camille Morgan from the Love, Sex, and ABA podcast to discuss LGBTQIA+ diversity. Finally, we dust off the ol' grab bag for the 11th time? Or 12th. We've lost track.

We were so fascinated by research on mindfulness in classroom management practices that we hunted down one of the researchers and demanded that they share all their secrets with us. Fortunately, we found the nicest one out there. And he even wrote a book on the subject! Dr. Joshua Felver brings the work of his research group into a deep dive into what is (and isn't) mindfulness, how does it all work, and what's most important for behavior analysts to know.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

Neurotribes Book Club (PREVIEW) Mar 26, 2021

Show notes

Ready for our newest book club? We discussed Steve Silberman's book "Neurotribes" for over two hours. And that still doesn't cover everything we wanted to get to! Whether viewed as a history of society's relationship with autism, an acknowledgment of autism's place in history, or a look into the future of neurodiversity, we've got hot takes from all angles. Join Rob, Diana, Jackie, and Alan as we celebrate the unsung heroes of autism research, bemoan the role of toxic personalities in holding back autism treatment, and discuss what it all means for us behavior analysts in providing strength-based, person-focused supports.

The full recording is only available for our $10 and up patrons and includes 2 learning credits at no additional charge. Enjoy this preview of our opening thoughts on the book. Interested in the full episode, plus our previous Book Clubs, social meet-ups every other month, and discounts for CEs? Head on over to our Patreon page and subscribe now!

This episode could be worth 2.0 LEARNING CEUs…but ONLY for our patrons.
