Do you support families with their educational advocacy?

During today’s meal - I speak with a behavior analyst, IEP advocate, and mom of 3 about how she got into behavior analysis, the biggest barrier when helping families advocate at IEPs, and her favorite food experience while traveling.

Do you find the BACB ethics process a little mysterious?

Have you ever wondered how behavior analysts move forward after a violation?

During today’s meal - I speak with a behavior analyst, CEO, and all around amazing individual about her advice if you want to pursue a PhD, being “unprofessional”, the BACB ethics department, and the rivalry between Red Vines and Twizzlers.

"Blurred Boundaries: Navigating Multiple Relationships in ABA”

—

When you hate something, do you push it away or try to learn more about it?

Have you ever been called difficult because you disagree or question feedback?

During today’s meal– I speak with a behavior analyst about his begrudging start to ABA, hate-reading authors he disagrees with, not chasing likes on social media, and you also get to hear us get really mad about substituting parsley for cilantro in pico de gallo.
