A nice young man took pity on old-man Rob at this year’s BABA conference and gave him a quick tutorial on how to use standard celeration charts. And he was so nice, he agreed to come on the show to do the same for everyone else. This week Jared Van (yes, with the awesome TikToks on education and ABA) plots our listen-speak fluency on precision teaching, effective uses of the SCC, and gets us talking about one of the best articles we’ve ever read. You’ll have to hear it to believe it. What can’t these celeration charts do!?

It all started with a post about graduations vs. termination of services. This week Landria Green joins us to discuss her thoughts on the matter and how it related to clinical comfort in supporting clients and families. And don’t think that’s a synonym for competence either! Join us for a great discussion of the next frontier of BCBA professional reflection.

As Will Smith once said, “Parents just don’t understand.” But maybe that’s because our parent training practices aren’t good enough to support their ability to learn behavioral and instructional methodologies. This week we revisit our own practices and what recent research tells us about improving them. We chat about supporting social skills, academic instruction, and behavioral interventions all in the comfort of your own home. Because we’re not just parent trainers, we’re also parents!

We’re starting off the month having returned from a great trip to the Thompson Center for Autism 2023 Conference. Hurricane Lee even gave us another day to spend in Missouri to ponder all the exciting episodes coming your way. First, we revisit strategies for improving your parent training methods. Then we’re joined by special guests Landria Green and Jared Van to discuss scope of comfort (NOT confidence) and the dreaded standard celeration chart. Finally, a bonus featuring some great posters from the conference, including a returning presenter. We avoided gushing about how awesome City Museum is but let’s just say it’s one more reason to join us out in St. Louis next September!

Bonus Episode - Thompson Center for Autism Conference Poster Session (2023)

As a special treat for Supervision September, we’re re-releasing last year’s Fall Book Club pick, "Crucial Conversations" in the original full 2 hour audio. Interested in earning these 2 CEs for FREE as well as other discounts, early access to episodes, and a chance to vote on topics? Join us on Patreon!

To celebrate the joys of supervision, we read the popular business book, “Crucial Conversations”. BST and feedback were only the beginning. For the next two weeks, we level up to discuss holding, modeling, and nailing conversations where huge disagreements are paired with huge emotions to create a perfect storm. Rather than barrel through to make your opinion the only one heard or running screaming from the boardroom, we review strategies for sharing your perspective effectively and helping others to do the same.

This episode is available for 2.0 SUPERVISION CEU.

Free for everyone, it’s our Supervision September Book Club episode! And, because it was offered for free by Dr. John Austin this past summer, we decided to check out “Results”. But did we think the book gave us everything we needed to supervise a crack team of BCBAs to maximum productivity? Or were we left feeling penniless and psychologically unsafe in a metaphorical office of despair? Either way, we really discussed the heck out of this one.

This week we’ve got bona-fide ABA business owner and BCBA supervisor, Kim Heald, joining the show to discuss scaling up your supervision systems within your organization. And, if that wasn’t enough, Kim shares a new type of business behavior assessment and gives us our results. Can you guess which one scores the highest in loud-mouthed jerkitude?

As voted on by patrons, our Summer 2023 Listener Choice episode is all about working with our clients to support effective IEP services related to transition planning. Given the continuing need to support clients, parents, and educational teams in creating meaningful and rewarding adult outcomes after school ends, we take a look at ways this planning can be done best and with a focus on the self-determination and participation of our clients. If you’ve ever been in an IEP meeting where adults talked about rather than to a student, this episode is for you!
