ABA Inside Track's New Patreon!
Hey, ABA Inside Track Listeners. As we embark into our 4th year of the podcast, we wanted to stop and recognize that we couldn’t have continued creating our brand of scientific and entertaining behavior analytic content without your support. And, to acknowledge the importance of our community of BCBA students and practitioners, we’ve decided to team up with Patreon to provide more opportunities for our audience to interact with the show than ever before. Patreon is an online platform that allows fans to donate at a variety of levels to unlock access to more shows, CE store discounts, and even a chance to join our recording sessions. For just 5 dollars a month, you’ll be invited to join us for a behavior analysis social stream every other month. You’ll be able to share your thoughts on a set topic with Rob, Diana, and Jackie as well as other behavior analysts in our online community. If you’re interested in more podcast content, why not join at the 10 dollar a month level. You’ll also gain access to 3 additional shows a year taking our popular book club format to discuss behavior analytic literature that YOU get to vote on. Each of these episodes will be good for 2 learning credits at no additional cost and include the fun and detailed commentary you’ve come to expect from our show. And, to add an extra incentive, 10-dollar a month patrons will receive a special ABA Inside Track sticker and a monthly 10% discount at our CE store. Finally, for those of you who’d like to be a part of the show, if you sign up at the 20 dollar a month level, you’ll earn everything at the previous levels AND get to join us during the recordings of the book club episodes. That’s right, you’ll be able to take the role of one of our special guest co-hosts for an entire episode!

Episode 138 - Delay Tolerance w/ Dr. Jeffrey Tiger
We’ve sung the praises of functional communication training (FCT) on plenty of episodes. However, we’re in the same boat as you when it comes time to start thinning the reinforcement schedule to use FCT in real life. Luckily, Dr. Jeffrey Tiger is here to save the day by sharing recent research on improving delay tolerance procedures. Is DRA the special ingredient? Plus, another chapter in the ongoing struggle of Jackie vs. DRO procedures. Articles discussed this episode: Sumter, M.E., Gifford, M.R., Tiger, J.H., Effertz, H.M., & Fulton, C.J. (2020).

Episode 135 - Social Justice w/ Denisha Gingles + Arin Donovan
As a response to our tumultuous times, it’s so fortunate that we have so many behavior analysts speaking out about equality and social justice. This week two such leaders in the discussion, Denisha Gingles and Arin Donovan from the Beautiful Humans social change-cast, had some time to review this very important topic with us.

Episode 134 - Trauma Informed Care w/ Brian Middleton
Given how the world has been going, it’s about time we acknowledge that trauma is a much more regular occurrence than we might have originally believed. With that in mind, we asked Brian Middleton (a.k.a., the Bearded Behaviorist) from the Oh, Behave! podcast to join us to discuss research on trauma-informed care. We review signs of trauma in treatment, simple ways to avoid adding stressors into your practice with others, and how to respond professionally to research critical of your life’s work (i.e., behavior analysis).
