Ep. 81- A Nerdy Graphing Conversation

Hey there!

 

In this shorter episode, we talk about nonconcurrent multiple baselines and why is is SO important for practitioners to try to use experimental designs and demonstrate functional control in their clinical work. The benefits are numerous, and because of articles like this one, the options for designs are numerous as well!

Ep. 80- Preference Assessment Stability

This episode, we talk about preference assessments! I guess, to be more specific, we talk about preference assessment stability regarding potential sexual partners. And while this may not be the MOST applied topic, I would argue that it is actually pretty dang useful to us practitioners who utilize reinforcement every single day!

Ep. 79- Friendship- An Aggressively Objective Analysis

Hello!

In this podcast, we talk about a new JABA article all about building objective friendship building skills. Usually, I am not a fan of social skills research, but this article was really cool to me due to how objective and specific the whole analysis was. 

After talking about the article, we answer a question from a practitioner on social stories!
