Episode 3-Tele-Health in ABA...Efficiency vs. Effectiveness—Helping or Hurting the Field

Season 1 · Episode 3

Friday, June 20, 2025 • Duration 01:33:50

In this episode, Sean and Michael throw down on one of the hottest and most controversial topics in the field right now: Telehealth. Is it a revolutionary tool that increases access—or a shortcut that sacrifices real impact?

We ask the hard questions:

Are we scaling ABA or just watering it down?
Is telehealth making us lazy practitioners or forcing us to be more intentional?
What does quality look like when you're not in the room?
And are we helping families—or just checking boxes from behind a screen?

This isn’t a tech vs. tradition debate. This is about accountability, outcomes, and integrity. If you’re riding the telehealth wave just to look progressive without results to back it up—you’re part of the problem.

Get ready. We’re calling it like it is.

Season 1 · Episode 2

Wednesday, June 11, 2025 • Duration 01:19:48

In this unapologetically real episode, Sean and Michael rip the Band-Aid off one of the biggest truths in ABA: If the parents aren't on board, the progress doesn't stick. We're talking raw, unfiltered takes on what "buy-in" really means, why therapy doesn’t stop when the session ends, and how to stop enabling and start empowering.

Episode 4-Collaboration or Collision: Coordination of Care in ABA

Season 1 · Episode 4

Monday, June 30, 2025 • Duration 01:04:04

Let’s be real—“collaboration” gets tossed around like confetti in this field, but what does it actually look like when the rubber meets the road? In this episode, Sean and Michael break down the fine line between true interdisciplinary teamwork and a total trainwreck of crossed wires, clashing egos, and diluted goals.

We get into it:

Why BCBAs need to stop acting like lone wolves
What REAL coordination of care looks like (spoiler: it’s not just sending an email)
How to navigate schools, SLPs, OTs, and everyone in between—without selling out the science
And when collaboration turns into compromise that actually hurts the client

This one’s for the behavior analysts who are sick of the fluff and ready to build bridges without burning their ethics.

You’re either working together—or working against each other. No in-between.

Episode 5: 30–40 Hours of ABA Gold Standard or Fool's Gold

Season 1 · Episode 5

Wednesday, July 9, 2025 • Duration 43:20

We’re cracking open one of the most debated topics in ABA—does more always mean better? In this episode, we go full throttle into the 30–40 hour model of ABA therapy. Is it truly the “gold standard” for progress, or are we blindly chasing numbers without looking at the client’s actual needs? Sean Yocum and Michael Carrero bring the heat as they challenge the status quo, question outdated funding-driven practices, and ask the tough questions no one else wants to.
It’s not about clocking hours—it’s about delivering meaningful, individualized care.

Episode 7: 2000 Hours, Zero Clinical Judgment: Welcome to ABA Supervision

Season 1 · Episode 7

Monday, July 28, 2025 • Duration 01:25:14

Let’s stop pretending supervision is working just because someone hit 2,000 hours. In this episode of Rad N Bad, Sean Yocum and Michael Carrero rip into the broken culture of ABA supervision—and what we actually need to start producing real-deal BCBAs, not just test-passers with clipboards.

We’re talking:

Why more hours don’t equal more skill (and what to do instead),
How agencies are using “supervision” to churn out cheap labor,
The myth of “you’re ready to supervise after a year” (spoiler: you’re not),
What real mentorship looks like—and why most of the field isn’t doing it,
And why ethical decision-making can’t be taught in a PowerPoint.

Whether you're a supervisee lost in the hour-hustle or a supervisor wondering why your mentee still can't write a goal—this episode will hit home.

Episode 6: Therapy for Sale-The Private Equity Invasion of ABA

Season 1 · Episode 6

Friday, July 18, 2025 • Duration 52:58

In this no-holds-barred episode, Sean Yocum and Michael Carrero crack open Cody Morris’ groundbreaking article “Private Equity in Behavior Analysis: A Reckoning.” We’re talking real talk about the corporate takeover of ABA—how private equity is reshaping the field, gutting clinical integrity, and treating therapy like a cash grab.

Are we selling out science for scalability? What happens when investor ROI outranks client outcomes? Cody Morris lit the match—and we’re throwing gasoline on the conversation.

Friday, August 15, 2025 • Duration 01:05:19

Get ready, Rad N' Bad fam! Sean and Mike are tearing into another unapologetically honest episode of "Who The Hell Is That?!"—our series dedicated to the fearless individuals igniting real change in ABA. This week, we welcome the brilliant and uncompromising Dr. Kristen Byra, PhD, BCBA-D, a true force in clinical excellence who's not afraid to push back against the norm.

Kristen, a highly credentialed BCBA with vast experience in autism services, reveals the "fed up" moments that fueled her mission to transform quality and accountability in our field.

Discover the genesis of her game-changing Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) and Quality Assessment tools—innovations designed to tackle the biggest systematic failures in clinical practice. We dive deep into why she demands "fridge-worthy" work, the power of her "red dot" system for RBT feedback, and the audacious medical analogy that exposes why we're defaulting to the most restrictive interventions when evidence-based alternatives are available.

This episode is a candid, no-holds-barred discussion on everything from the nuances of non-billable time accountability to the critical importance of parent involvement beyond "tuck and roll" drop-offs. Kristen shares her vision for standardizing quality across agencies, empowering BCBAs and RBTs, and safeguarding the future of ABA by prioritizing client outcomes over mere billables. If you're craving brutal honesty, radical insights, and a blueprint for elevating your practice, strap in! This is where the real insights break loose.
