ABA on Tap is proud to present Dr. Erica Feuerbacher (Part 1 of 2):

Grab a cold one and pull up a chair! In this episode of ABA on Tap, we’re joined by Dr. Erica Feuerbacher, BCBA-D, to explore the fascinating intersection of behavior analysis and animal welfare.

Dr. Feuerbacher is an Associate Professor at Virginia Tech and a leading expert in applied animal behavior. We dive into her groundbreaking research on what truly reinforces our four-legged friends, their social connections, and how we can use the science of behavior to improve the lives of shelter dogs.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Reinforcement in the Wild: How to identify what actually functions as a reinforcer for dogs and horses.
  • Shelter Science: Interventions that reduce stress and increase adoption rates through evidence-based practices.
  • Human-Animal Bond: The behavior-analytic perspective on why we (and our pets) do what we do.
  • Humane Training: Moving beyond "jargon" to practical, compassionate care for all species.

Whether you’re a BCBA looking to expand your scope or just a dog lover curious about the science of "sit," this episode serves up a refreshing look at ABA beyond the clinic.

Always Analyze Responsibly.

ABA on Tap is proud to present Dr. Tranika Jefferson, BCBA-D (Part 2 of 2):

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Tranika Jefferson, PhD, BCBA-D, LBA, IBA, a distinguished doctoral-level Board Certified Behavior Analyst and the founder of The Behavioral Wellness Academy. With over 16 years of experience in the field, Dr. Jefferson has dedicated her career to understanding the "why" behind human behavior and using evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to improve lives.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Holistic ABA Therapy: How Dr. Jefferson uses ABA to increase functional skills—such as communication and social play—while minimizing challenging behaviors like aggression and tantrums.
  • Advocacy & Leadership: Her role as a speaker at the 2026 Black Women In Behavior Analysis Appreciation Day (BWIBAAD) conference and her work in fostering inclusive communities.
  • Community Impact: Her commitment to accessibility, including the implementation of sliding-scale fee systems and partnerships with schools to support families who lack insurance coverage.
  • Professional Journey: From her academic roots at Prairie View A&M University to her PhD from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Dr. Jefferson shares her passion for mentoring future clinicians.

Dr. Tranika Jefferson is a native of Bryan, Texas, and a recognized expert in treating autism, intellectual disabilities, and mental health disorders. She is a three-time grant awardee for behavioral disability care and currently serves as a consultant to schools and community-based organizations in the Houston metropolitan area.

Bringing back greatest hits as we wrap on 2025! Our inaugural episode - what got everything started! Originally published 2/15/2020 please enjoy our discussion on the 40-hour ABA model and if it's still medically necessary 40 years after Lovaas published his article stating that it was.

Behavior Analysts Mike Rubio and Dan Lowery kick off their podcast adventure by pouring a user-friendly, unfiltered, smooth and easy to consume discussion on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). In this inaugural episode, Mike and Dan sort through the idea of 40-hours a week of in-home ABA treatment--a common pairing on the ABA treatment list for individuals (usually younger children) diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). Pedagogy, professionalism and parenting alike are invited to toast and learn with Mike and Dan. Cheers! And remember, always analyze responsibly.

Bringing back greatest hits as we wrap on 2025! Originally published on Season 4 Episode 8 and referred to often in subsequent podcasts, please rejoin us and enjoy this episode - RBT-Person or Service!

Continuity of quality service might be one of the most important aspects of treatment with successful outcomes. Quality can refer to a number of variables including a strong rapport between client (and family) and clinicians, built over time with a steady progression of engaging and reinforcing sessions. While case managers are part of this quality service, it is inevitably the registered behavior technicians (RBTs) who share the most time and encounters with client and family. often in the family home. Hence, the reality of turnover of staff, or perhaps the necessity for 'time-off,' can create a semblance of discontinuity in service all on its own. In this episode, Dan and Mike revisit a 'company line' oft used to promote parameters like 'sub' clinicians when assigned staff is unavailable for a session and client as usual--the RBT is 'a service, not a person.' All the while, Mike splits time between being a 'sub' of sorts himself, caring for his 2-year-old while 'mama' is away, as Dan and he analyze the pros and cons of seeing the RBT as a service, and not a person.

Lots to analyze in this tasty brew--a hint of bitterness, perhaps a bit sour at times, but it promises a smooth finish. Enjoy all the layers, and always analyze responsibly.

ABA on Tap is proud to present Matt Tapia (Part 2 of 2):

Matt Tapia is a dually-credentialed professional, holding licenses as both a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Arizona and California and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). This unique background allows him to offer a comprehensive, integrated perspective on mental health and behavior, drawing from both clinical counseling and applied behavior analysis.

Matt's therapeutic approach is heavily influenced by third-wave behavioral therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). His work focuses on helping individuals, couples, and families navigate a broad spectrum of challenges, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, and caregiving stress, particularly for those within the autism and neurodivergent communities.

In addition to his clinical practice, Matt serves as a Subject Matter Expert for the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) where he helps develop and review national exam questions for aspiring BCBAs and RBTs. He holds a master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University and is an active member of several professional organizations, including the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS). With a commitment to meeting clients where they are, Matt uses a collaborative, team-based approach to help people build meaningful and fulfilling lives.

Matt Tapia is a dually-credentialed professional, holding licenses as both a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Arizona and California and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). This unique background allows him to offer a comprehensive, integrated perspective on mental health and behavior, drawing from both clinical counseling and applied behavior analysis.

Matt's therapeutic approach is heavily influenced by third-wave behavioral therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). His work focuses on helping individuals, couples, and families navigate a broad spectrum of challenges, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, and caregiving stress, particularly for those within the autism and neurodivergent communities.

In addition to his clinical practice, Matt serves as a Subject Matter Expert for the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) where he helps develop and review national exam questions for aspiring BCBAs and RBTs. He holds a master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University and is an active member of several professional organizations, including the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS).

ABA on Tap is proud to share a pour with Kamila Jacob (Part 2 of 2):

In this episode, we're joined by Kamila Iacob, BCBA, the co-founder of MentraTrack, to discuss the past, present, and future of ABA supervision. Tired of the administrative burdens and disconnected systems plaguing fieldwork, Kamila channeled her clinical expertise into creating a platform that empowers both supervisors and trainees. We’ll explore how MentraTrack moves beyond just tracking hours to focus on the soft skills that truly define a competent BCBA.

Episode Breakdown:

  • The Problem with Paperwork: Kamila shares her personal journey from BCBA to tech innovator, detailing the pain points of fieldwork that led her to develop MentraTrack. Learn how she identified the gaps in traditional supervision models and how her platform was built to address them head-on.
  • From Compliance to Competence: Discover why Kamila believes that "checking boxes" is not enough to prepare future BCBAs. We'll dive into the importance of developing clinical judgment, ethical reasoning, and professional communication skills that are critical for success in the field.
  • AI in Action: We’ll explore the AI-powered features of MentraTrack, such as the SMART Goal Generator and Assessment Tool, and discuss how technology can make supervision more personalized and effective. Kamila offers a glimpse into how these innovations help supervisors focus on coaching rather than compliance.
  • A Better Way Forward: Kamila outlines her vision for the future of ABA supervision—one that is scalable, connected, and focused on growth. She provides advice for both trainees navigating their fieldwork and supervisors looking to enhance their mentorship.

MORE ABOUT KAMILA:

Kamila Iacob, M.A., BCBA, LBA, is the co-founder of MentraTrack, a digital platform designed to streamline fieldwork, supervision, and compliance for professionals in applied behavior analysis (ABA). With extensive experience as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and former Clinical Director, Kamila is committed to improving the quality of supervision in the ABA field.

Motivated by her own experiences and observations of the challenges faced by both supervisees and supervisors—including disorganized tracking, compliance anxiety, and time-consuming paperwork—Kamila was inspired to build a more efficient and supportive solution. MentraTrack evolved from this need, providing features that go beyond simple hour logging to enhance the entire supervision process. This includes real-time compliance checks, AI-powered goal generation, and competency tracking.

Nicole Parks is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with nearly two decades of experience across diverse settings, including forensic systems, mental health, and autism therapy. As the Chief Visionary Officer at Rooted Consultation, she champions the expansion of Applied Behavior Analysis beyond its traditional scope, focusing on subspecialties and innovative applications of behavioral science. Nicole is a passionate advocate for mentorship, ethical practice, and supporting BCBAs in building careers that align with their interests and expertise. She believes that ABA can make a significant impact in areas like addiction treatment, child welfare, and the justice system, and actively mentors future behavior analysts to push the field forward.

Along with Mike and Dan, Nicole explores the possibilities for BCBAs beyond the traditional focus on autism therapy. She shares insights into creating a fulfilling career in subspecialty areas of ABA, based on her experience in areas like forensic systems and mental health. Topics include:

  • Breaking the Mold: Nicole's journey from forensic and mental health work, and what drew her back to non-traditional ABA practice.
  • The Subspecialty Framework: A plan for diversifying your ABA practice, focusing on supervision, learning, and job creation.
  • Funding vs. Fulfillment: The financial realities and potential for burnout in traditional ABA settings, and why many BCBAs may consider alternative paths.
  • Real-World Scope: The importance of understanding your scope of competence and strategically expanding it to thrive in diverse roles.

This brew offers a wide array of flavors across  Applied Behavior Analysis palette, for both seasoned BCBAs looking to diversify their careers, and aspiring behavior analysts seeking inspiration for non-traditional paths. Sit back, sip deliberately and ALWAYS ANALYZE RESPONSIBLY.

ABA on Tap is so proud to spend some time with the illustrious Portia James. (Part 2 of 2)

As a visionary, a powerhouse of a leader, and a pioneer for women and people of color in her field, Portia James has been shaking conference room tables for nearly two decades. She shares bold perspectives on the lack of representation for black leadership in the workplace and how it impacts decision-making and strategic execution at the executive level. She is one of few Behavior Analysts to have been featured in both Forbes and Harvard Business Review.

Portia is a sought-after Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Organizational Behavior Management specialist who helps black Behavior Analysts launch and scale companies that thrive. As the founder and CEO of Behavior Genius, she has served hundreds of staff and families impacted by Autism.

Portia is a wife to an MMA fighter (of course she is!)  and mother of 3 dynamic children, a travel junkie, and a red wine enthusiast. Portia serves up a flight of bold and complex flavors. Sip this one slowly and carefully. Don't forget to swirl, take in the bouquet, and always analyze responsibly.

ABA on Tap is proud to present Dr. Scott O'Donnell. (Part 2 of 2)

Dr. O’Donnell earned a bachelor’s in Psychology minoring in Cognitive Neuroscience under the mentorship of Dr. Philip Hineline at Temple University where he assisted in conducting an experimental analysis of behavior with rats and pigeons. 

Dr. O’Donnell began working with adults with autism and intellectual disabilities in 2013, youth with autism and intellectual disabilities in 2015, and received his registered behavior technician credential in 2016 working for multiple companies providing autism services. Dr. O’Donnell earned his masters in Psychology and Applied Behavior Analysis in 2018 from Purdue Global (nee Kaplan University) where he studied under Dr. Antonio Harrison, a researcher and practitioner of behavior analysis in health, sports, and fitness settings. In 2022, Dr. O’Donnell graduated with a PhD from The Chicago School for Professional Psychology where he researched applications of applied behavior analysis in non-traditional settings including sports and organizational behavior management under Dr. Jack Spear, publishing his thesis in 2021 reviewing behavioral interventions to improve the performance of competing athletes and conducted his dissertation on behavior analysis with competing golfers. 

Dr. O’Donnell works with under-served mental health populations providing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clients on medical assistance in Philadelphia. Dr. O'Donnell is the President of the Philadelphia Metropolitan Association for Behavior Analysis. Dr. O’Donnell volunteers with his local civic association and promotes the use of radical behaviorism in government. Some of his research interests include translational behavior analysis (theory to practice), Health/Sports/& Fitness, social responsibility and sustainability, freedom and government, Relational Frame Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, radical behaviorism, and self-applications of behavior analysis.

Dr. Scott is a wealth of knowledge and an amazingly cool dude. We look forward to his next visit. This is a nice, super-chilled, tasty and refreshing brew. Feel free to pour generously and always analyze responsibly.

ABA on Tap is proud to present Dr. Scott O'Donnell. (Part 1 of 2)

Dr. O’Donnell earned a bachelor’s in Psychology minoring in Cognitive Neuroscience under the mentorship of Dr. Philip Hineline at Temple University where he assisted in conducting an experimental analysis of behavior with rats and pigeons. 

Dr. O’Donnell began working with adults with autism and intellectual disabilities in 2013, youth with autism and intellectual disabilities in 2015, and received his registered behavior technician credential in 2016 working for multiple companies providing autism services. Dr. O’Donnell earned his masters in Psychology and Applied Behavior Analysis in 2018 from Purdue Global (nee Kaplan University) where he studied under Dr. Antonio Harrison, a researcher and practitioner of behavior analysis in health, sports, and fitness settings. In 2022, Dr. O’Donnell graduated with a PhD from The Chicago School for Professional Psychology where he researched applications of applied behavior analysis in non-traditional settings including sports and organizational behavior management under Dr. Jack Spear, publishing his thesis in 2021 reviewing behavioral interventions to improve the performance of competing athletes and conducted his dissertation on behavior analysis with competing golfers. 

Dr. O’Donnell works with under-served mental health populations providing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clients on medical assistance in Philadelphia. Dr. O'Donnell is the President of the Philadelphia Metropolitan Association for Behavior Analysis. Dr. O’Donnell volunteers with his local civic association and promotes the use of radical behaviorism in government. Some of his research interests include translational behavior analysis (theory to practice), Health/Sports/& Fitness, social responsibility and sustainability, freedom and government, Relational Frame Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, radical behaviorism, and self-applications of behavior analysis.

Dr. Scott is a wealth of knowledge and an amazingly cool dude. We look forward to his next visit. This is a nice, super-chilled, tasty and refreshing brew. Feel free to pour generously and always analyze responsibly.

ABA on Tap is proud to present an interview with Dena Kelly. (Part II)

Dena Kelly, LPC, BCBA, LBS is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified Behavior Analyst with over 15 years of experience improving children’s eating behavior and quality of life through evidence-based interventions. Founder of Focused Approach, Dena develops ABA-based feeding programs and trains professionals and caregivers nationwide. She has presented at major conferences such as ABAI and FABA and continues to advance the field through education and advocacy. Dena has led feeding programs in both clinical and multi-state settings, designed diagnostic and therapy services for autism and feeding disorders, and trained teams to manage complex feeding challenges.

Focused Approach uses trusted, research-based techniques to address a wide scale of feeding challenges. Focused Approach delivers training and consultation to BCBA professionals, partners with existing clinics to add results-driven, full feeding programs into their offerings, and delivers direct feeding therapy support for families. Focused Approach goes above and beyond generalized services, tackling the most challenging and unique pediatric challenges. 

For more information, visit www.focusedapproach.com

In this episode. Dena discusses the scope of her work involving ABA professionals and how she educates them on feeding disorders, food refusal, providing insight into techniques, procedure, and protocol. She discusses the basics of setting events and stimulus cues, as well as more controversial applications like escape extinction, a procedure that can easily be applied incorrectly if not for the guidance and expertise of someone like Dena Kelly.

This brew is rich and dense, with a warming presence and complex, intense flavors. And we have two full pours for you, staring here with Part I. Enjoy the sense of fullness and satisfaction in this episode, and ALWAYS ANALYZE RESPONSIBLY.

Part 2 of 2

ABA on Tap is proud to spend some time with Maggie Haraburda, founder and director of Unfurling Littles, a unique treatment center combining ABA with best practices in Early Childhood Education.  

Neurodiversity Affirming and rooted in compassionate care; this center takes an approach to supporting children of all neurotypes that is play-based and child-led. Unfurling Littles was created out of a desire to do better for neurodivergent children and create a model of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) that is not implicated in causing harm. Maggie believes that  "The only way to move forward, is to look back with open eyes. We are a small Autistic owned company and will stay that way. We are not your average agency and we don't intend to be, we are just a group of humans trying to help other humans. " 

Given recent concerns and criticisms of ABA as presented by members of the neurodivergent community, Maggie promotes an important message of truly collaborative treatment. 

This is smooth and easy brew. Pour heavy, pour lots and always analyze responsibly.

ABA on Tap is proud to present Matthew Storey, Esq. (Part 2 of 2)

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.

Crisis Management and Applied Behavior Analysis--Special Guest Kim Warma from Pro-ACT, Inc. Send a text

In this episode we are excited to have a discussion with Kim Warma, the President of Pro-ACT, Inc. Pro-ACT is a widely used crisis management curriculum that is implemented in various settings, from schools, to hospitals, to group homes/residential facilities, and many more. Dan and Mike have experience utilizing the Pro-ACT curriculum,  with Dan training the principals for over 10 years for multiple ABA companies, and can both personally vouch for its value with increasing safety and improving company culture. 

Under continuous development since 1975, Pro-ACT has evolved over the past 50 years concurrent with the focus on increasing Civil Rights for all marginalized communities to become the pinnacle training for crisis management, focusing on maintaining dignity and respect for the people that we serve. 

Mike and Dan discuss with Kim how we can all work to manage challenging behaviors safely while respecting the people that we serve. Kim poses the question repeatedly, 'Whose needs are we meeting?,' highlighting how we often lose sight of the client needs, in favor of staff needs, when they become aggressive or uncooperative. 

Sit back, relax, and enjoy this unique brew safely. When you're done please visit www.proacttraining.com to check out their services and curriculum.

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.

This is a light, refreshing and prospectively thirst quenching brew so enjoy a couple if you must. So keep running those sessions, take good data, consider AI for your notes, and always analyze responsibly.

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.

This is definitely an imperial oatmeal stout with robust notes of coffee and chocolate--a lot to take in and digest. Pour heavy, drink slowly, and always analyze responsibly.

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.

This is a big brew--bold with a lot of flavors to explore. It may preset bitter at first, but please do wait for the finish as it is satisfying. It's been a long day and you need to unwind with a good brew. This is the one for you. Sip slowly, breathe easy and always analyze responsibly.

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.

This is part 2 of this dense and tasty brew, Mike and Dan explore the empirical validation of ABA as well as other treatments deemed 'evidence-based' by most research standards. They also take time to examine what it means to not meet such a standard and those concoctions should be consumed, if at all.

This is a stout---dark, bold with some hints of sweetness and a long finish. Take this one slow but pour bountifully, and always analyze responsibly.

Jess is a sole-provider with two young children, her youngest on the spectrum. She lends her insight and experiences regarding sibling rivalry, managing extended family attitudes about disability and services, as well as making herself available for said services. Jess gives an honest account of her struggles and better yet, provides an encouraging message for parents given her outcomes.

Welcome to Season 5 of ABA on Tap! In an effort to bring more support directly to parents, as well as ABA professionals, Mike and Dan kick off the season with an article review (link below). Right in line with the objective, an article from a parenting magazine about 'what not to do' with autistic children is reviewed for this brew. As has been the recipe on ABA on Tap, whenever Dan and Mike here 'don't', they automatically ponder the 'do' portion of such a recommendation. This episode takes advantage of an excellent resource and article geared toward parents, reviews the highlights, expands the discussion, and varies the possibilities.

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.

This salty episode is sure to work up a thirst. Prepare yourself with a nice, tall, cool one and enjoy this important discussion on ABA in schools.

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.

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.

This brew delivers a lot of different flavors and aromas, so be prepared. As always, we promise a smooth finish to wrap up this topic and hint at a continuation episode, as their is much to explore and reconcile within this idea of 'ABA in Crisis.'

From vertically-oriented wall schedules to PECS to token and choice boards--ABA practitioners love their so-called 'visuals'. In this brewing session, Mike and Dan dissect the idea of these strange technologies to understand what is meant by 'visual,' especially if all parties involved are 'sighted' individuals. Taking the ideas of joint attention and naturalistic strategies, Dan and Mike are able to boil it down to the difference between what can be easily accessed visually in the environment, versus more artificially driven, icon-based, laminated squares.

So, grab your favorite libation, turn off the laminator (as its jammed and you're out of laminating sheets anyway), and take a look all around, as you enjoy this illuminating pour of ABA on Tap. And of course, always analyze responsibly.

In observation of Autism Acceptance and Awareness Month, Mike and Dan examine a very poignant and sharp criticism of ABA intervention strategies (link is below). Reviewed exactly as published on the website 'autisticscienceperson.com,' the current brew integrates several points of disapproval, as written by an author that identifies as autistic. While ABA on Tap welcomes a deep analysis of ABA itself and has entertained several detractors before, this particular point of contention presents a bit differently. Mike and Dan are able to diligently identify validity in the author's concern, and more importantly delineate and establish the notion of misuse of ABA, rather than accept the premise of ABA as an inherently abusive, philosophy of the science of both human, and non-human, animal behavior.

So, grab a nice, tall, chilled glass and pour slowly. This one begins with some bitter notes up front but, as usual, Mike and Dan are able to guarantee a smooth finish. Enjoy and always analyze responsibly.

Beginning with one of the most foundational ingredients available for this brew, Mike and Dan lean on hearty handfuls of Diana Baumrind's nominal research on parenting styles from back in the 1960s. Fresh off a healthy pour on 'Parent Education,' it makes perfect sense for the behavioral brew to examine styles of parenting. Many new flavors and 'hints' of different aromas have surfaced over the years---including terms like 'collaborative parenting', or the seemingly harsher but likely misconstrued 'commando parenting.' At the end of the day, Mike and Dan make a case for the basic four styles--authoritarian, authoritative, permissive and negligent--as first outlined by Baumrind, then renovated by Macoby and Martin in the 1980s. Research on parenting styles is robust and reliable, and a very useful tool in effective parent education on how to best employ ABA procedures and strategies. Be aware, this is a very tall pour, much more than a pint. But it's classic, cold and very refreshing--ENJOY!

Beginning with one of the most foundational ingredients available for this brew, Mike and Dan lean on hearty handfuls of Diana Baumrind's nominal research on parenting styles from back in the 1960s. Fresh off a healthy pour on 'Parent Education,' it makes perfect sense for the behavioral brew to examine styles of parenting. Many new flavors and 'hints' of different aromas have surfaced over the years---including terms like 'collaborative parenting', or the seemingly harsher but likely misconstrued 'commando parenting.' At the end of the day, Mike and Dan make a case for the basic four styles--authoritarian, authoritative, permissive and negligent--as first outlined by Baumrind, then renovated by Macoby and Martin in the 1980s. Research on parenting styles is robust and reliable, and a very useful tool in effective parent education on how to best employ ABA procedures and strategies. Be aware, this is a very tall pour, much more than a pint. But it's classic, cold and very refreshing--ENJOY!

In considering traditional approaches to ABA intervention and the importance of imitation as a key building block in learning, you have probably heard the directive (discriminative stimulus) 'Do This' as an essential part of so-called non-verbal imitation programs. In this episode, Mike and Dan take some time to examine the premise of non-verbal imitation, its role in more traditional approaches as well as available adaptations to take this practice from  the 'lab to living room.' Using the procedures as outlined in published research, this brew encourages an update to these imitation procedures toward a more child-directed, play-based feel and essence. So, 'do this'---sit back, relax and enjoy this refreshing, illuminating pour of ABA on Tap.

For this brew, Dan and Mike take time to incorporate some recent events with policing and the challenges faced by said institutions in providing training and support. Given current discussions and criticism of ABA methods and treatment, your hosts draw comparisons and parallels between the ideas of ABA intervention and policing as it relates to behavior management to  preserve an acceptable 'peace' in the process, but perhaps more importantly, the goal of protecting and serving. Using the model of parenting styles to create a connection between the levels of authoritarianism appropriate to either endeavor, Dan and Mike elaborate on ideas to promote a less authoritarian and more authoritative tone overall. The discussion is rich in philosophical and scientific premises all the same, resulting in a stout, frothy and very satisfying libation. Enjoy! And always analyze responsibly.

Parents are an integral part of any successful ABA-based intervention protocol. The simple fact is, given a least restrictive level of services, parents should be enjoying a much greater amount of time with their children than the ABA provider is spending. Historically, this has seen a very necessary and natural evolution, moving from the idea of parent 'training' in ABA methods, to the more modern inception discussed here--parent education about ABA principles as they are actively included in all aspects of so-called intervention. More importantly, a constant flow of information on a variety of techniques, strategies and approaches, promoting a variety of actively desired contingencies, all supporting socially-significant behavior, should be ever present. All this is discussed in this installment of ABA on Tap.

Sit back and enjoy--and feel grateful for parents all around who strive to offer their children the best available in all aspects of life. Cheers!

ABA has essentially become synonymous with treatment of ASD, and medically speaking, nothing else despite a wide-array of possibilities. Insurance mandates have now existed in many states across the United States for 10 or more years, but are specific to ABA as a recommended treatment for ASD. In this episode, Mike and Dan guide us through the idea of 're-specialization' for the ABA field, toward greater utility. Specifically, as inspired by Patrick Friman's 2010 publication on bringing ABA to the mainstream, expanding the utility of applied behavior analysis into a primary care role, while preserving and expanding  our current expertise, serve as the main ingredients for this delightfully informative and prospectively delicious brew.

What goes up must come down--after a two-part series on the idea of an 'escalation cycle,,' Dan and Mike could only follow up with a discussion on de-escalation. In this follow-up episode, Dan and Mike continue to utilize the notion of 'crisis' or 'assaultive' behavior and its management as a means to better understand and elucidate strategies for addressing day-to-day challenging behavior. While the behavior being emitted by the client or child is often the focus of intervention, perhaps a more important variable is the behaviors or stimuli active around that person and in their environment. Dan and Mike work to explain the key aspects of the de-escalation range of the full cycle and more importantly discuss what not to do as well as what to enact as a parent or professional working to help an individual come back down to baseline.

Sit back, stay observant, acknowledge, empathize and ALWAYS analyze responsibly.

In this episode, Dan and Mike tackle a very important and dense topic--the idea of a cycle of escalation as it pertains to behavior management. Starting from the perspective of crisis management, specifically considering a familiar and widely-recognized system like 'Pro-Act,' the premise is to consider not just the outward behavior itself, but perhaps more importantly, the internal antecedents and correlates from a brain and behavior perspective. In this first portion of a multi-part series on escalation, your hosts walk through important factors in autonomic arousal, as well as the work of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system in so-called 'assaultive' behavior. More importantly, the notion of what this can teach us with regard to all behavior management approaches is explored. That is to say, any deviation from baseline can be considered an escalation, such that there is much to learn about with regard to managing and preempting challenging behavior from contemplating crisis. Dan and Mike begin to explore the empathetic aspects of understanding the experience of an individual emitting challenging or even assaultive behavior toward safely and effectively responding, not reacting. All of this in an effort to work back down to baseline, and allow learning to continue more freely, adaptively and collaboratively.

Sit back, pour yourself a tall beverage and enjoy this very complex episode. And more than ever, always analyze responsibly.

As ABA professionals, we are often called upon to reduce the occurrence of so-called 'maladaptive' behaviors. Terms like protest, tantrum, elopement or escape are all too common though they don't provide clean description of the behavior or its function. Often times, what we mean is that a child or client spent a certain amount of time crying, for example, and suddenly we run the risk of missing the adaptive value of an instinctive and reflexive behavior. While we don't want our clients to 'cry' extensively, we can't simply cite the emission of such behavior as undesired or lacking value. In this episode, Dan and Mike explore the premise of understanding the full function of such behaviors historically deemed for reduction only. In other words, what might be the communicative value of leaving the designated area or crying? While  a solely adult-directed, more traditional  approach to ABA intervention might see interference, the idea presented here is more about seeing the shift in motivating operations present in such occurrences of behavior, and re-evaluating our procedures in response.

Sit back back, behave and always analyze responsibly.

Following the two part series on Joint Attention, Dan and Mike extend the discussion to include verbal behavior. Dan takes a lead to expand and make an important distinction between verbal and vocal behavior. Herein comes a strong connection with joint attention given that eye gaze and pointing for example, are both fundamentally sound verbal behaviors. While at times we focus on the vocalization or words, we must pay close attention to all communicative behaviors.

Sit back, jointly attend to our vocal behavior and always analyze responsibly.

The brew continues in Joint Attention Part II. Mike and Dan review research on the correlation between joint attention, imitation, language development (verbal/vocal behavior) and play. From this, they focus on a specific research-based method designed to promote joint attention--namely following a point (both proximal and distal) as well as gaze shift, then leading others with point and gaze shift. The idea of joint attention as a constant mode of presentation, along with contingent imitation and linguistic mapping, in creating a dynamic, child-directed, play-based environment is elaborated. This allows for more and more adult-directed instruction as needed toward specific targets and goals, like imitation, while maintaining the most important motivating operation--play.

Sip slowly, enjoy a fresh taste from the tap. And always analyze responsibly.

Better late than never,  Mike and Dan kick off the 3rd season of ABA on Tap. Thank you all out there for your continued support and listenership.

In an effort to advance the 'lab to living room' approach, Mike and Dan give a historical account of their current practices in early intervention. Given that these particular programs take a 'preventative' edge in their purpose and objective, the idea of blending ABA technologies and methodologies with best practices in Early Childhood Education takes the forefront. Young children in these early intervention programs, at least in this case, are not diagnosed with any condition, just identified as 'at-risk'. Without careful and considerate pause from professionals, these children might receive traditional, standard ABA treatment otherwise cultivated and specified for children on the spectrum. This situation is examined closely as the impetus to innovate and progress the idea of ABA and what it looks like in planning, practice and further data collection. Part I will provide a more personal and historical account of the references, experiences and concepts that led to joint attention as an important correlate to imitation, but lacking focused examination or useful implementation as an important aspect of programming thus far.

Sit back, relax and always analyze responsibly.

Behavior encompasses a wide range of activity from talking, to moving around to just about anything that makes us animate as human animals. Yet ABA is often quickly boiled down to the 'bad behavior' science, addressing the tantrums, excessive crying, dropping to the ground, self-injurious behavior, etc. This general overview can be so pervasive that we can easily forget the need for other professionals to get a child to sit down and attend, both super important learning behaviors, not misbehaviors, that ABA attends to readily. Hence, there is an active collaboration that should occur across these expansive so-called 'transdisciplinary teams,' whether educationally or medically based, to ensure the child in the middle is getting everyone's best, and in well-choreographed orchestration that supplements and complements, avoiding internal contradictions--that's a tall order. An order that should be easily filled no less. In this episode, Mike and Dan open up the conversation on collaborative treatment, discussing services like SLP (speech/language) and OT (occupational therapy) that are often active for a child along with ABA. They also begin to discuss more mainstream applications of ABA in areas like psychiatry and the prospective and elusive behavioral pediatrics, both topics that will be explored in greater detail in Part II of this episode on collaborative treatment. Sit back, relax, and drink this one in, as a refill awaits you. Cheers--always analyze responsibly.

These technologies were adapted with good intent, no doubt, but over the years have lost their power and purpose due to user error or the like.

Ready to learn more and engage in philosophic doubt, Mike and Dan take on a recent opinion published by the well-known education writer, Alfie Kohn. Kohn lends an eloquent criticism of ABA, pointing to recent meta-analyses that aim to question, if not eliminate, any socially significant effects and benefits of ABA-based interventions, as used with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, for example. Kohn's arguments are carefully examined, credited where deserving, and aptly corrected in an effort to preserve their value, while rectifying errors in terms. That said, ABA has a wealth of empirical research and validation highlighting its effectiveness and value. However its implementation, like any other active system,  can always benefit from examination, improvement and evolution toward a perpetually stronger ethical integrity. Mike and Dan offer thoughts, insights and discussion to posit ABA, its current strengths and future directions.

ABA on Tap is committed to providing you with a clean 'pour' on this philosophy of a science in practice, ABA, and the facts surrounding its active implementation given our daily study and professional experience. We invite Alfie Kohn to join us and discuss his views further on a future episode and we value his prospective effort in listening and exchanging knowledge. His article, as discussed in this episode, can be found at https://www.alfiekohn.org/blogs/autism/.

Thank you for tuning in. Please do send us your comments and questions on Facebook. Finally a quick THANK YOU to LANTERN GIRLS for our new outro music.

The brew continues to mature as Mike and Dan evolve the discussion naturally into the next flavor, antecedent based strategies. Given ABA has been driven largely by a consequence base, the discussion leads into how to prepare for certain behaviors ahead of time, knowing they are actively being emitted. The idea becomes not to preempt or avoid the behavior, but to prepare for it in terms of learning potential toward the next time the same circumstance arises. In this manner, consequence approaches are fortified, given the effort to redirect the behavior prior to emission as well as prepare for the consequence base. Enjoy! And always analyze responsibly.

The brew continues to mature as Mike and Dan evolve the discussion naturally into the next flavor, antecedent based strategies. Given ABA has been driven largely by a consequence base, the discussion leads into how to prepare for certain behaviors ahead of time, knowing they are actively being emitted. The idea becomes not to preempt or avoid the behavior, but to prepare for it in terms of learning potential toward the next time the same circumstance arises. In this manner, consequence approaches are fortified, given the effort to redirect the behavior prior to emission as well as prepare for the consequence base. Enjoy! And always analyze responsibly.

Welcome to Season 2 of ABA on Tap--Happy New Year! Mike and Dan jump right back in where they left off. Following the natural progression and discussion thus far, they happen upon differential reinforcement in order to promote a more multivariate application of ABA than seems the norm. Given the perpetuation of 3-part contingencies, the so-called ABCs of behavior, ABA in practice is often an amalgam of single, linear contingencies as opposed to a dynamic evocation of many behaviors subject to shaping and differential reinforcement in a more naturalized environment. As always, the quest from lab to living room continues. Cheers! And always analyze responsibly.

After entertaining Chloe's criticisms and doing so seriously, Dan and Mike take a chance to explore ABA clichés--all those little overused misconceptions and stereotypes we hear out in our daily work about why ABA doesn't work. All the while, ABA touts empirical validation. How do we reconcile  between what is proven and the possibility of user-error--how does ABA work for many and yet have such a vocal opposition? What are the grievances and which are legitimate? Which grievances are more based on misunderstanding and user-error? Sit back, relax and sip on something good as you imbibe this episode.

While ABA rightfully touts empirical validation, social validity may not always reflect as strongly. One need not go further than Google to find a plethora of harsh criticism against ABA. Such a vocal critic is found in Chloe Everett and her TEDTalk entitled "The Problem with Applied Behavior Analysis" (https://youtu.be/pCqEb0aG7tg). Chloe is a well-spoken young woman who shares her experience as a 'patient' of ABA intervention given her diagnostic experience. In her talk, Chloe gives honest and useful criticism but also lends a number of misconceptions that warrant discussion, correction and ultimately, resolution. In what promises to be the first of many episodes dedicated to criticisms of ABA, we give Chloe the floor first and explore and explain her concerns. Stay tuned for Part II of episdoe 7, where we further explore her criticism and offer solutions for future practice, in addition to our humble corrections of some of the more egregious claims relayed in her talk.

ABA on Tap excitedly welcomes our first guest ever to the podcast. Kadi Jones is a longtime practitioner and licensed BCBA residing and working in Arizona. Unlike some practitioners in California (e.g., your esteemed hosts Mike and Dan), Kadi has been practicing as usual throughout the entire pandemic thus far, delivering in-home ABA services and adapting essential safety parameters. We have spent some time examining new ideas learned from 'TeleHealth' delivery of ABA services. In this episode, we learn about safe in-home, ABA practice as we continually define risk-management and prevention of contagion during service delivery. Stay home if you can, wear a mask, deliver SDs from at least 6 feet away, and always analyze responsibly.

As people prepare to re-enter the workplace, having been 'sheltered-in-place,' ABA professionals, educators and parents alike are compelled to consider the past 4 months. What have we learned? Prior episodes have examined the exciting advancements made for our understanding of 'TeleHealth' as it pertains to ABA, especially as surfaced by quarantine. So as we contemplate re-opening our ABA services here in California--not all providers stopped in-home service--Dan and Mike lend some insight in an effort to optimize ABA services as well as the safety of the environments in which they are delivered. So, sit back in your 6-foot radius (or otherwise wear a face covering), and enjoy a nice pour of ABA on Tap. Always analyze responsibly--cheers!

Quarantine, or perhaps more accurately stated 'shelter in place,' has certainly put a new spin on our daily lives, to phrase it mildly. We find ourselves taking stock and placing new value on every day stimuli. In this episode, Mike and Dan work to redefine 'screen time' for parents now contending with school content, as well as for professionals considering aspects of stimulus control and socialization on this so-called 'social-media' platform. Where many weeks ago we clamored to limit screen time, we now find ourselves seeking better ways to apply it, if not downright enforce it--who knew?! As always, the discussion provides as many new questions as prospective and absolute answers, but concludes with some practical concepts and suggestions that are easy to consume. Stay safe, stay well and always analyze responsibly. Cheers!

Mike and Dan take you back to the beginning of ABA on Tap to share a studio out-take not published at the time of production. After some review, they have decided the information in this previously unreleased episode needs to be heard. In "More than MORE", a thorough discussion regarding the use of some 'starter' verbal behaviors like signing 'more', is presented. While helpful and exciting, such simple signs can often be overused and become overgeneralized, hindering progress in vocal and verbal behavior instead  of promoting it. As always your comments and questions are encouraged. Please find us on Facebook and connect. Always analyze responsibly--cheers!

Mike and Dan take you back to the beginning of ABA on Tap to share a studio out-take not published at the time of production. After some review, they have decided the information in this previously unreleased episode needs to be heard. In "More than MORE", a thorough discussion regarding the use of some 'starter' verbal behaviors like signing 'more', is presented. While helpful and exciting, such simple signs can often be overused and become overgeneralized, hindering progress in vocal and verbal behavior instead  of promoting it. As always your comments and questions are encouraged. Please find us on Facebook and connect. Always analyze responsibly--cheers!
