We wrap up our trilogy (for now) of episodes focusing on neurodiversity with special guest, Dr. Kate Chazin to look at what survey research and meta-analyses can tell us about how ABA is currently doing as a treatment when it comes to hearing from the autistic population. We review the likes, the dislikes, and the unknowns in early-childhood ABA programing from client to community then gather more detail on an area that all of us are feeling iffy about: The need for escape extinction in behavioral treatments. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Chazin, K.T., Ledford, J.R., Wilson-Moses, J.M., Rajaraman, A.R., & Juarez, A.P. (2024).

In this episode we’re joined by a special guest panel made up of neurodivergent behavior analysts including returning guest, Brian Middleton, and new guests, Alex Astrella and Michelle LaFrance to discuss their insights on the field, what’s going right, and what’s going wrong.

We all love books and sharing information through stories and anecdotes. But why does that even work? This week we review some excellent thought pieces on the subject of narrative and storytelling as valued behavior.

For our Spring Listener Choice episode, we’re looking into what makes consultation for behavior analysts good. Because consultation is like a mountain where you and your client reach the summit together. But don’t forget the extra cans of air in case its very tall. And did you remember to pack enough provisions? Or your compass? Some icebreaker games? Perhaps this metaphor is getting away from us, and you should just listen to the episode discussion of relevant research into what makes good, rather than useless, consultation in behavior analysis.
