Episode 281 - Neurodiversity - Creating Autistic Supported Goals w/ Dr. Kate Chazin

Diana: I need the reason. Don’t say money. Why do this? Rob: Why not do it? Because yesterday I walked out of the conference after losing four hours of my life and you’re cold-researching “Teen Beat” cover topics. Because the house always wins. Play long enough, you never change the contingencies, the house takes you. Unless, when that perfect article comes along, you bet behavior analysis podcast, and then you take the house. Diana: Been practicing that speech, have you? Rob: Little bit. Did I rush it? Felt like I rushed it. Diana: No, it was good, I liked it. “Teen Beat” thing was harsh.

NOTE: The original file was missing one of the code words.  The new file should resolve this.  Apologies to folks for the mistake. Remember when you started your first practicum? Remember the fun of filling out your fieldwork tracker? Of course you don’t because no one has EVER had fun filling that thing out. This week, we at least try to make it easier to complete by reviewing research conducted by Diana, Jackie, and guest (and former student), Ryan Atkinson to teach practicum students the ins and outs of recording their time on-task in pursuit of their behavior analyst certification.

LIVE from St. Charles, MO, it’s ABA INSIDE TRACK! With musical guest the Smashing Pumpkins. Well, ok, they’re not coming on the show this month. But we do have a plethora of other friends joining us to discuss everything from tracker training to teleconsultation including Diana and Jackie’s former student and collaborator, Ryan Atkinson and tech-meister, Dr. Aaron Fischer. Plus, the return of the grab bag and a detailed discussion of generality…or is it generalization?

While science has researched the effectiveness of many augmentative and assistive communication methods, one disproven, pseudoscientific technique just keeps refusing to stay in the dustbin of history: Facilitated communication. This week, we go back to the 90s to review how facilitated communication stole the voices of people with disabilities, the research that originally kicked facilitated communication to the curb, and why it remains important to guard against FC’s seemingly never-ending resurgence. Plus, Rob fights city hall poorly. Also, if you’ve never seen it, be sure to watch Prisoners of Silence, a documentary from 1992 that we all love and talk about a TON!

In 2020 the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis posted an Expression of Concern regarding Rekers & Lovaas (1973) as a step in acknowledging behavior analysis’s complicity in the pseudoscience of conversion therapy. This week we’re joined by special guests, Drs. Sarah Campau and Matthew Capriotti, as well as Book Club Guy, Alan Haberman, to talk about what comes next. We review the controversy over the original paper, discuss public policy around supporting the LGBTQ+ community, and start planning how behavior analysis can kickstart new research that benefits sexual and gender minorities. For more on the history of conversion therapy, Dr. Campau suggests the UnErased podcast. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

If you’ve listened to this show, you know how much we love to read. Yet a huge percentage of individuals will graduate from high school lacking the proficiency to learn effectively through reading. Since this statistic is anathema to us, we called up two folks writing the book on the subject, Drs. Denise Ross-Page and R. Douglas Greer. We discuss breaking down literacy skills into behavioral components, the differences between reading-to-learn and learning-to-read, and how the science of teaching can improve both outcomes. Also, is it possible to make reading a conditioned reinforcer for everyone? This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Gentilini, L.M. & Greer, R.D. (2021).

This month, we’re terrified of our riches in special guests as we discuss controversy, literacy, and advocacy. First, Dr. Denise Ross-Page and Dr. R. Douglas Greer join us to review how behavior analysis can promote effective practices in teaching reading and literacy. Next, Dr. Sarah Campau and Dr. Matthew Capriotti join us and Book Club Guy, Alan Haberman, to discuss their recent papers making a call to action for behavior analysts to step up in our efforts to speak out on ABA historical harms to the LGBTQ+ community and speak up for improving support for sexual and gender minority issues. Finally, we’re all shocked that people are STILL TALKING ABOUT facilitated communication! Almost 30 years after its debunking, we decided to remind everyone that it doesn’t work and limits the expression of people with disabilities. Could talking about ABA be more fun than gorging on Halloween candy? Articles for October 2022 ABA and Literacy w/ Dr. Denise Ross-Page + Dr. R. Douglas Greer Gentilini, L.M. & Greer, R.D. (2021).
