LIVE from the TxABA conference—which, because of the pandemic, we recorded in the comfort of our homes—it's a fun-filled presentation from ABA Inside Track! Due to popular demand, we've switched up our original talk to discuss what research can tell us about promoting safety measures in our daily lives. Is there a way to improve hand washing in the general population? What does economic research tell us about social distancing? And how is the Green Movement like a global health initiative? Big thanks to our friends at TxABA for their kind invitation. We hope to see you at the Alamo next year! Articles discussed this episode: Fenichel, E.P. (2013).

You may say "toe-may-toe", and I may say "toe-mah-toe", but we've all learned to accept that these differences are ok. However, not everyone can take such perspective taking skills for granted, including many individuals with autism. This week, we take a peek into the behavior analytic literature to see how we can use recent research to supercharge our teaching skill for this socially-important skill.

Are you ready to talk about resurgence? Well, I certainly wasn't, but we still recorded an episode all about it. And, y'know what, we had a great time doing so! Rob even demanded we add a bonus article on the topic, so moved by learning about this oft misunderstood component of behavior change. We hope that you are similarly moved…at the very least you'll remember the difference between resurgence and extinction and stop embarrassing yourself at BCBA cocktail parties.

MAY we offer you some new podcast episodes about behavior analysis? This month we're talking about a whole dearth of issues. And, what with everyone staying at home, we even managed to squeeze in an additional full-length episode that we don't even mention in the preview. First, we tackle a listener topic with a discussion of resurgence. Then we welcome special guest Dr. Derek Reed to school us on behavioral economics. Finally, we return to a discussion of treatment for individuals with autism by reviewing articles on perspective taking. Then, we share one of our recent live talks from the TexABA conference on washing your hands and social distancing during a pandemic. MAYbe we're crazy, but that's one heck of a line-up!

Outta tha' way, professors (Diana and Jackie). It's time for the BCBA working-class to shine! Joking aside, this week we focus on research related to being the best darn behavior consultants to teachers and to schools. And, to do it up right, we invited our podcasting pal, Matt Cicoria of the Behavioral Observations podcast to join us and to share his expertise.

It's one thing to have a decent understanding of the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Protocol (VB-MAPP). It's another to discuss bringing this tool up to scale in practice. This week we invite local special educator/BCBA, Colleen Callahan, to share her work in implementing the VB-MAPP in the public school setting. We discuss materials management, research on verbal behavior testing techniques, and how to min-max your session. Articles discussed this episode: Barnes, C.S., Mellor, J., & Rehfeldt, R.A. (2014).
