| GOOD JOB! Dr. Becky and Salient Reinforcement Effort | 03 Feb 2025 | 01:07:12 | |
ABA on Tap has discussed the ever ubiquitous 'Do This!' as a discriminative stimulus. And of course, once the child imitates correctly, you say "GOOD JOB!" as the standard, overly used and potentially ineffective consequence, dare we say 'reinforcement.' In this episode, Mike and Dan brew over an article from Dr. Becky Kennedy (see link below). Dr. Becky advises parents to reconsider the use of 'good job' as a response to indicate satisfaction with a child's behavior. She provides great insight that is applicable to any parent and child dynamic, as well any RBT looking to differentiate their vocal responses toward positive and informative reinforcement. This brew is light, easy, and refreshing--pour, pour more and enjoy. And always analyze responsibly. As aforementioned, ABA on Tap brews go well with cerebration.

| Artificial Intelligence, RBTs, BCBAs and Treatment Plans--Special Guest Michael Gao from Alpaca Health | 28 Oct 2024 | 00:59:17 | |
AI has been injected into every aspect of our lives and its been a fast and furious deployment. While the speed of the technology is enticing, it quickly raises questions about the individuality and client specificity of AI output, especially for essential artifacts like medical notes. While medical notes are a well-known nightmare to ABA providers---lengthy, confusing, seemingly meant to confound and confuse, and clearly installed to defer payment wherever possible--they also serve a very important purpose for clinicians, who truly use them to document procedure, protocol and progress. Enter Michael Gao from Alpaca Health. He joins ABA on Tap to explain his solution and innovation. Despite Mike and Dan's initial skepticism, Michael elucidates his product and presents a convincing stance on its advantages and specificity to helping ABA professionals. 🔥 Enjoyed this episode?

These days, there is no shortage of controversy over ABA treatment. The neurodivergent community, at least specific outspoken members within, often make general claims about ABA, calling it 'evil' and 'abusive.' Experienced and devoted practitioners beg to differ. Enter Jennifer Fitzpatrick and her efforts in organizing and successfully hosting the inaugural CPABA Conference for 2024. Her intent was to bring together professionals from both sides of the discussion to posit the role of ABA in medical treatment, specifically for autistic individuals. This was recorded prior to the conference, but publication held till now. 🔥 Enjoyed this episode?

| Models of Disability--Make That Change | 04 Aug 2024 | 01:03:58 | |
In this brewing session, despite a wealth of choices, Dan and Mike focus on the basic ingredients in looking at a medical model in comparison to a social model. As behavior analysts, it's easy to see the stakeholder as the principal agent for change, and overlook our impetus for changing behavior, the surrounding environment. Models of disability take this as their basic kernel for debate. As is the final resolution in most binary discussions, Mike and Dan agree that it's not one model over the other, it's both models working in collaboration. This session delineates the 'pros' and 'cons' of each model as they relate both past and current perspectives on the notion of disability. 🔥 Enjoyed this episode?

| Empirically Validated Treatment Part II | 01 Jul 2024 | 01:09:24 | |
The terms 'empirically validated' and 'evidence-based' get thrown around a lot, specifically in describing the prospects of any given medically-based treatment. ABA is no stranger to the phrasing and enjoys a prominent place on the list of such treatments--namely the top of the list. This, however, does not mean that treatments without empirical validation may not hold some evidence or use. And to much dismay, empirically validated approaches are not always implemented successfully. In fact, even evidence based approaches can fall short due to human error. 🔥 Enjoyed this episode?

| ABA and Schools | 27 Nov 2023 | 01:04:28 | |
ABA is often seen as home-based in terms of its service location. While this may at times extend to the premise of 'community,' the procedures and protocols can appear very similar from place to place. However, just like behavior, the environment can have a substantial influence on how ABA can be practiced and implemented. One particular environment that presents clear constraints to practice is a classroom environment on a school campus. That is to say, there are clear guidelines, rules and expectations that point to one set of acceptable behaviors, with little to no margin of error allowed. Mike and Dan consider Mike's recent experiences going back onto a comprehensive school campus to work with students exhibiting challenging behaviors. While as ABA professionals, our content expertise are ready to create and implement behavior plans to address undesired behavior and promote replacement behaviors, schools can often dictate what said behavior plans should include, creating obstacles and unique problems toward effective collaboration and successful outcomes. 🔥 Enjoyed this episode?

| ABA in Crisis II | 22 Oct 2023 | 01:06:27 | |
Mike and Dan continue to bubble and brew over the challenges in the field of ABA intervention, and specifically the undervalued role of the RBT. They provide impressions and personal tales regarding their own professional transition from possibly the best reimbursement rates in the history of ABA intervention to a new outfit where said rates will be slashed by 60% and now match the rest of the field. Considering the premise that an RBT can make a more consistent and predictable living working at a fast food restaurant, ABA on Tap continues to examine and explore the role of private equity, insurance companies and behavior analysts in creating and sustaining this current crisis. 🔥 Enjoyed this episode?

| ABA in Crisis | 27 Aug 2023 | 01:06:01 | |
Private equity has entered the ABA services game with great fervor, making a tremendous impact on the field as a whole. In this episode, Mike and Dan take a close look at some 'crisis' elements created by the infusion of private equity and an aim to generate revenue, at times at the expense of the quality of services and client outcomes. At the same time, it can be discerned that ABA practitioners had developed some less than desirable habits prior to private equity, but certainly exacerbated now by the focus on fiscal health over developmental integrity. Moreover, while one would expect private equity to help make services more accessible, this episode also explores the tendency for private equity to turn a profit, then take the money and run, leaving clients and professionals alike with no recourse. 🔥 Enjoyed this episode?
