It’s been a while since we’ve recorded audio from a poster session. But, by golly, Rob decided to bust out his portable recorder and make nice with the students at the Thompson Center for Autism 2023 Conference. We love getting to hear about research in its early days from special education to autism treatment to neuroscience. We had so much fun, we didn’t even get to use all of our complimentary drink tickets! Plus, a familiar student voice from the past makes a return visit to the show. Thanks to all of the amazing student presenters for taking time to so eloquently share their work and to the Thompson Center for having us back to their conference.

A nice young man took pity on old-man Rob at this year’s BABA conference and gave him a quick tutorial on how to use standard celeration charts. And he was so nice, he agreed to come on the show to do the same for everyone else. This week Jared Van (yes, with the awesome TikToks on education and ABA) plots our listen-speak fluency on precision teaching, effective uses of the SCC, and gets us talking about one of the best articles we’ve ever read. You’ll have to hear it to believe it. What can’t these celeration charts do!? This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Lindsley, O.R. (1990).

It all started with a post about graduations vs. termination of services. This week Landria Green joins us to discuss her thoughts on the matter and how it related to clinical comfort in supporting clients and families.

As Will Smith once said, “Parents just don’t understand.” But maybe that’s because our parent training practices aren’t good enough to support their ability to learn behavioral and instructional methodologies. This week we revisit our own practices and what recent research tells us about improving them. We chat about supporting social skills, academic instruction, and behavioral interventions all in the comfort of your own home. Because we’re not just parent trainers, we’re also parents!

We’re starting off the month having returned from a great trip to the Thompson Center for Autism 2023 Conference. Hurricane Lee even gave us another day to spend in Missouri to ponder all the exciting episodes coming your way. First, we revisit strategies for improving your parent training methods. Then we’re joined by special guests Landria Green and Jared Van to discuss scope of comfort (NOT confidence) and the dreaded standard celeration chart. Finally, a bonus featuring some great posters from the conference, including a returning presenter. We avoided gushing about how awesome City Museum is but let’s just say it’s one more reason to join us out in St. Louis next September!

Free for everyone, it’s our Supervision September Book Club episode! And, because it was offered for free by Dr. John Austin this past summer, we decided to check out “Results”. But did we think the book gave us everything we needed to supervise a crack team of BCBAs to maximum productivity? Or were we left feeling penniless and psychologically unsafe in a metaphorical office of despair? Either way, we really discussed the heck out of this one. This episode is available for 2.0 SUPERVISION CEUS. Wish your 2 CEs were free? Want access to all of our Book Club and Listener Choice episodes right away? Then join us on Patreon today!
