Episode 286 - Quality Control in the ABA Service Industry

Episode 286

Wednesday, August 28, 2024 • Duration 01:06:11

Despite strong evidence as to the efficacy of ABA services in supporting meaningful outcomes of clients across a number of relevant dimensions, do we actually know if the ABA service industry is actually any good? This week we dive into the paucity of research on measuring and developing quality ABA services and discuss whether the business of ABA is anywhere near as good as the science of ABA at solving meaningful problems. Hot take: It's probably not!

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

Episode 285 - Grab Bag Summer Slam

Episode 285

Wednesday, August 21, 2024 • Duration 57:59

We just wanna say to you all tonight, we're very, very grateful to be here. A lot of people told us that we'd never podcast about behavior analysis again and that's all we do.

You know, if you live hard and play hard and you burn the candle at both ends, you pay the price for it.

You know in this life you can lose everything that you love, everything that loves you."

Now we don't hear as good as we used to, and we forget stuff. And we ain't as pretty as we used to be. But darn it, we're still standing here and we're "ABA Inside Track."

You know as time goes by -- as time goes by, they say:

"We're washed up."

"We're finished."

"We're losers."

"We're all through."

You know what? The only one that's going to tell us when we're through doing our thing is you people here.

You people here -- You people here are the ones who are worth bringing it for because you're our family.

We love all of you!

Thank you so much!

As a continuation of our ongoing review of neurodiversity in society and in the practice of ABA, we decided to make space for less talking and more listening.

Episode 279 - Storytelling

Episode 279

Wednesday, June 19, 2024 • Duration 01:10:31

We all love books and sharing information through stories and anecdotes. But why does that even work? This week we review some excellent thought pieces on the subject of narrative and storytelling as valued behavior. We look at what makes cliffhangers so appealing, how stories make learning more fun, and whether you need to be practicing better anecdotes before work.

Episode 277 - (LISTENER CHOICE) Consultation in Behavior Analysis

Episode 277

Wednesday, May 29, 2024 • Duration 01:14:07

For our Spring Listener Choice episode, we're looking into what makes consultation for behavior analysts good. Because consultation is like a mountain where you and your client reach the summit together. But don't forget the extra cans of air in case its very tall. And did you remember to pack enough provisions? Or your compass? Some icebreaker games? Perhaps this metaphor is getting away from us, and you should just listen to the episode discussion of relevant research into what makes good, rather than useless, consultation in behavior analysis.

Episode 276 - Concurrent Chains Arrangement

Episode 276

Wednesday, May 22, 2024 • Duration 01:13:49

Somehow we've made it nearly 300 episodes without actually talking about concurrent chains arrangement specifically. I mean, we've talked about measuring assent, preferences for treatments, chaining, and concurrent schedules. Finally, all the great tastes that go great together in one episode! But where did the concurrent chains arrangement come from? And how might such a procedure be used to assess preference for different treatment types? Does it work for everyone? I pity the fool that misses this podcast episode.

Episode 1009 - (UNLOCKED) Calling Bullshit Book Club

Episode 1009

Wednesday, May 15, 2024 • Duration 02:01:44

UNLOCKED from our Patreon page, it's the "Calling Bullshit" Book Club! Interested in more Book Clubs? Want to vote on what we read next? Feeling FOMO at getting this a full year late? Wish your 2 CEs for listening to the episode were FREE??? Join us on Patreon to get all of our episodes a week early, access to these bonus episodes, plus other goodies.

You'd think living in such a big-data obsessed world, that behavior analysts would be enjoying some of the most fact-filled, objective times of their lives. Unfortunately, more data means more problems, especially when those gathering and publishing the data seem determined to sell you a heaping load of bullshit. For our Spring 2023 Book Club, we get skeptical of all this precious data by reading Bergstrom and West's "Calling Bullshit". We dive into what makes bullshit, how to identify it, and, most importantly, how to call it out and make the world a better place.
