Wondering if you've got what it takes to be a positive parent? Find yourself needing the greatest parenting tips for the families you work with? Terrified that you keep coming back to the old "yell at the kids until they behave" strategy your parents used? Well, let ABA Inside Track's second annual book club pick, The Power of Positive Parenting, help you out. For the next two episodes we'll be discussing Dr. Glen Latham's excellent parenting book to determine if it's really as great as we've heard and, more importantly, if it's really a piece of behavior analytic literature.

Fresh off our last multi-part episodes comes another multi-part episode. For the next two weeks, we'll be holding our annual book club and discussing Dr. Glen Latham's book, the Power of Positive Parenting. In the meantime Jackie explains just how much online learning is too much and Rob attempts to apologize and to usher in a new age of conversation and understanding.

The supervision train rolls on, but, if you're not careful, might end up in one of the many many pitfalls strewn along the way to becoming the best BCBA supervisor ever. Luckily we're here to review how to start your supervision off on the right foot and the top 5 tips to stay on top of your game. And when we take a quick break from the main topic, we terrorize each other with memories of scary Super Mario Bros. enemies and Pilgrim trivia.

Back in time for the start of the new school year, it's our 2nd (annual?) Supervision September! All this month, we have episodes devoted solely to supervision: Supervision and technology, barriers to supervision, and supervision in training others. That's three episodes on supervision in a row! Plus, we unveil our exciting survey on technology (hey, would you mind taking it?) and talk about our appearances at the BABAT and Thompson Center Autism conferences in October. See you there!

This week, we're discussing asking for help and ways to improve this important life skill. We discuss basic requests for help, how to prevent overgeneralization of the response, and high- and low-tech solutions for asking for help when lost. Plus, Rob goes out of his way to make the absolute worst jokes possible in a feeble attempt to lighten the mood.

No one makes it through this crazy world alone. Whether a full-grown adult or a child with disabilities, everyone needs to be able to ask for help once in a while. But what happens when you keep asking for help all the time? Or your need help but don't know who to ask or where you are? Next week we'll be reviewing articles that have the answers to the these questions. But first, a whole bunch of upcoming episode and appearance reminders!

STOP! Before you start using that discontinuous data sampling system in your program, listen to special guest, Dr. Mary-Katherine Carey, join us for a discussion of its pros and cons. We'll review previous and recent research to determine whether discontinuous data systems really do save a lot of time, whether sampling data can ruin student programming, and whether you can get a scientific study done in a month. Don't worry: We find some time to act all silly and go off on irrelevant tangents too. Articles discussed this episode: Cummings, A.R. & Carr, J.E. (2009).

Ever sit down to take data and, as you're writing down all those pluses and minuses, tell yourself, "There's got to be a better way"? Well, I've got some good news and some bad news for you! Next week, we're talking with the newly-minted Dr. Carey about discontinuous data systems and the good, the bad, and the ugly about their use. But first, an errata chock full of excellent emails and a brief discussion of upstate New York over-the-air broadcasts. And Rob shares a geek fact.

It's our most popular episode type: Grab bag! And by popular, I mean popular to us because we get to read whatever articles we want to! This week, Rob sits down at the ol' baby grand and plays a tune about stimulus equivalence, Diana neutrally praises the effort, and Jackie eats all the poison we left on the floor. Perhaps our most disjointed episode to date. Articles discussed this episode: Griffith, K.R., Ramos, A.L., Hill, K.E., & Miguel, C.F. (2018).

What's that sound coming across the misty moors? Some folks say a grab bag full of behavior analytic articles roams these dark plains, searching for a podcast to eat. Legend tells of a team of BCBAs who will tame the grab bag and bring its research to the ABA community. Might you be the ones the legend speaks of?

Though Rob may prefer to hit PAWS when it comes to talking about canines, Jackie and Diana have a howling good time on this week's episode all about dog behavior and behavior analysis. Wondering how functional analysis methodology can be used to treat dog challenging behavior? Or how shelter workers can actually be taught to train dogs on the cheap? Curious if Rob writes little stories about the research articles he reads? We answer all three of these tough questions in this week's episode. We're such RUFF-ians.

Not a day goes by that the treatment and care for children with autism and their families isn't in the news. Sadly, many recent headlines have focused on the alarming challenges that these families face in looking for effective treatment (i.e., ABA) even with the sweeping changes to insurance coverage of autism treatment signed into law in nearly all the U.S. Luckily, we had an amazing opportunity to speak to Amy Weinstock of the Autism Insurance Resource Center about this and other topics related to insurance for autism treatment including a discussion of her important role in bringing this legislation to Massachusetts, her ongoing work to support families in understanding their rights under the law, and what all BCBAs need to know about insurance. And if you still have more questions after listening, why not contact the awesome people at the Autism Resource Center yourself?

Ah, the beautiful summer weather is finally upon us. And what better time to talk about how hard it is for some students to attend school. Is it bad teaching? Permissive parents? School anxiety? How the heck are we supposed to find out the function of school refusal behavior? Fortunately, Dr. Christopher Kearney and colleagues have been studying the assessment and treatment of school refusal behavior since the early 90's. And your pals here at ABA Inside Track are here to disseminate their research with our brand of deep discussion and tangents about Jackie's history of poor attendance due to Sailor Moon.

So, when does, "Mommy, I don't wanna go to school" move beyond a frustrating way to start the day to a serious problem? Next week, we're talking all about the phenomenon of school-refusal behavior and what you can do to help. In the meantime we bring up some life-affirming quotes and get a glimpse at Rob's most prized possession. Articles for next episode: Kearney, C.A. & Silverman, W.K. (1990).

This week we're researching the age-old question: Will I be happier by doing stuff or just waiting for the world to reward me? In behavioral terms, we're discussing whether humans prefer contingent or noncontingent reinforcement. After going over two excellent research articles exploring this question through the use of the ever-popular concurrent-chains procedure, Jackie and Diana expose their crazy, right-wing politics to assess the U.S. welfare system while our favorite liberal progressive, Rob, watches in horror.

You enter a hall full of all of your favorite things. The old knight of the Crusade beckons you to him. "Among you are the greatest delights known to humanity. You may engage in whip-cracking tricks to earn them. Or, I can give you one every now and again. You must choose...but choose wisely." And in that moment, you realize: you should have listened to that episode of ABA Inside Track about whether humans prefer contingencies. Suddenly, you awaken in a cold sweat and look at the calendar. "Oh, thank Skinner," you gasp. "It's only the preview episode! There's still time to subscribe!" Then, with visions of Diana, Jackie, and Rob podcasting in your head, you slip off, back to dreamland.

Two big things to keep in mind as we prepare for a full-length episode on interteaching with special guest, Dr. James Soldner. First, we find out the results of April's Autism Awareness fund drive to raise money for Autism Compassion Africa. Let's just say that we don't think Whitney's school in Ghana will be running low on chairs anytime soon! Second, Rob goes Hollywood and takes the rest of the gang with him. Note for audio listeners: Do yourself a favor and go to YouTube or the Facebook page to get the full version of the Interteach TV show video. We really think it's worth it!

From vocal tics to biting nails, we've got you covered in this week's episode on the use of habit reversal. Rob shares what might be the ultimate resource guide to this nifty treatment package while Diana and Jackie describe the long, hard road behavior analysis took to make habit reversal an accepted intervention for Tourette disorder. That means, we're talking randomized controlled trials, people! All that and Rob tries to convince author Dr. Doug Woods to be his new best friend.

It's not quite RIRD; it's not quite CBT. It's: Habit reversal! And it's what we'll be talking about in our full-length episode next week.

As part of Autism Awareness Month, ABA Inside Track is donating all money from CE processing fees to Autism Compassion Africa, a nonprofit group dedicated to improving the treatment of individuals with autism in Western Africa. Diana and I spoke with one of the organization's founders, Whitney Hammel, about the work so far, about the newly founded school in Ghana, and about the challenges and rewards for a BCBA outside of the U.S. Remember, you still have two weeks to purchase CEs on a variety of topics. If you'd rather donate directly to Autism Compassion Africa, you can do that as well. Thank you!

Are you ok? Would a podcast all about teaching empathy skills make you feel better? What if I told you that this week's discussed articles have fun puppet videos? Strange face prompting? How about really promising results in mastery of identifying and showing empathy among participants with an autism diagnosis? Yeah, yeah, it'll be fine.

Next week's episode will be all about teaching empathy. And who better to help us kick off this preview episode than some very special guests: puppets! After that, we share an excerpt from our upcoming interview with Whitney Hammel of Autism Compassion Africa to highlight the work of her and her staff in bringing treatment of individuals with autism to Ghana. We're so motivated to help out that we even announce a fundraiser in honor of Autism Awareness Month where all CE processing fees will be donated to ACA. So, listen to as many episodes as you can: every CE you purchase increases the funds heading to treatment of autism in West Africa.

We're back with another full-length episode on the subject of ethics in the workplace. This week, we're all convinced that you probably need an ethics guru to steer your ship with best practices. And it'd be great if they understood confidentiality laws too, otherwise, your files might end up at the mercy of a data hamburglar! While you start hiring this magical individual, we'll do our best to walk you through HIPAA, FERPA, and all its friends including Diana's handy-dandy legal quiz. Some fun facts to whet your appetite: a pod of hippos is not a HIPPA and Rob's passwords all start with names of Star Wars characters.

Put down that Facebook! Drop those Twitters! You can't risk a moment more on social media without first listening to this important episode on the ethics of social media. Think it's ok to share pictures of your fellow BCBAs relaxing on the beach on Instragram? What about Snapchatting with colleagues to discuss possible solutions a client with SIB?

Because one episode wasn't enough, we've got TWO big ethics episodes coming up throughout the rest of March. And not just any ethics! We're going to dive deep into the pitfalls inherent in social media and technology. How the heck can I post inappropriate pictures online and stay on the right side of my ethical obligations (answer: you can't!) and is it possible to teach my staff and co-workers to be an upstanding citizen of ethics (answer: it is!). In the meantime enjoy some Errata about a poorly behaved cat and a Rob ProTip about snagging your dream jobs. The power is yours!

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Katherine McLaughlin of Sexuality and Developmental Disability Workshops, creator of a sex education curriculum for individuals with disabilities. We talk about how she came to this topic, the process of developing her curriculum, the challenges educators face in bringing up sex education, and why it's about time sexuality is being discussed in special education. More information about Katherine and her curriculum can be found here. Articles mentioned in this episode: Shapiro, J.

We're celebrating 50 episodes of ABA Inside Track by going where BCBAs are wary to tread: mental health! We discuss why ABA and mental health stopped getting along and discuss ideas as to how behavior analysis can make a difference in treating mental illness. Then we save a nice chunk of time for Rob to go full hippy in his tear down of Big Pharma. But, can any of this content help Diana get over her mall-o-phobia?

Next week we're doing an historical dive into the past of behavior analysis to discuss just why it is that ABA isn't "cool" when treating mental illness and to figure out just what ABA has to offer the field of mental health. But first, it's Wilford vs. Willard, BCBAs vs. outdated New York laws, and Rob's ranting vs. Rob's raving in a no-holds barred edition of Errata.

::RING RING:: Hello, we know you're out there. We can feel you now. We know that you're afraid. You're afraid of efficient teaching methodology. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how to train individual exemplars. I came here to tell you about matrix training. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to podcast to BCBAs what you don't want them to hear. I'm going to tell them about a world of recombinative generalization, a world taught along the diagonal, a world where anything is possible.
