As one of our favorite holiday traditions, Matt Cicoria from the Behavioral Observations podcast, joins us for an annual review of whatâs up in behavior analysis. And this year weâre shaking up the format to look at our own years in dissemination. Weâll discuss what topics were the most interesting (i.e., downloaded) to BCBAs and hypothesize as to what this might mean to the field. Donât worry: In between sipping egg nog and looking at data, we also take the time to celebrate how old our shows (and therefore us hosts) are. Hereâs to 2025!

We were so thrilled to be invited to Utica, NY to experiences Upstate Caring Partners 2024 conference: Contemporary and Compassionate Approaches to Support Individuals with IDD. Aside from sampling the local cuisine, hosting a live trivia event, and chairing a panel with some amazing folks (including previous guests Dr. Rajaraman and Dr. Weiss, we had a few minutes to break out the olâ digital recorder and check in with folks at the poster session. Here are just a few of the great presentations from the floor that we think youâll enjoy.
Hope to see folks back upstate in 2026!

Though many of us likely use AI to auto-filI search results and find the name of songs, behavioral health has been steadily increasing the use of artificial intelligence in new and interesting ways for years. But is the tech outrunning our ability to ethically implement it? Dr. David Cox brings his deep knowledge of deep learning to the show this week to review what AI can offer, will offer, and what behavior analysts need to do to be prepared to accept or refuse its call. Though the part about AI doing all the scheduling does sound pretty great.

Man, the more episodes we do around how well-meaning authorities tend to fall back to maintaining the inequitable status quo, the more examples of it we find. This week, we look at many of the practices in schools that continue to perpetuate ableism and what behavior analysts can do to disrupt these trends. And, spoiler alert, half of these practices were actually implemented to INCREASE access to education for individuals with disabilities. It turns out just trying to be nice doesnât actually fix much without a solid understanding of individual perspectives. So, yâknow, listen to the episode and donât be âthat guyâ.

While we might be taking some time off for the holidays, you wouldnât know it from our podcast schedule. This month we begin the countdown to episode 300 with an announcement of our big anniversary plans, some details of a new ABA Inside Track publication, and, of course, episodes on the cutting edge of behavior analysis. Specifically, weâre talking about ableism in the school system (and what behavior analysts can do to combat it) and how artificial intelligence may not be as scary as we thought (thanks to the soothing assurances of special guest, Dr. David Cox). Finally, we wrap up 2024 with a pair of bonus episodes: Our annual End-Of-Year extravaganza with podcasting friend, Matt Cicoria, from Behavioral Observations and our audio from Upstate Caring Partners awesome summer conference on compassionate care. See you in 2025!

Though many of us likely think of ourselves as talendted clinicians, do we honestly consider our work with others to be considered art? Well, Richard Foxx did and so, apparently, do a lot of behavior analysts who think its high time we operationalize and train folks in the field on some of the skills that make creating a therapeutic alliance seem so effortless (at least, for some of us!). Thanks to our fabulous patrons, weâre digging into the topic of behavioral artistry. Are there really skills that separate the artist BCBAs from the jobbers? And if so, how does one become an artiste de behavior analysis?

It sure does seem like no matter how much we learn about ethics, there are always new ethical problems cropping up with complex solutions. At times like these, itâs great to have resources to fall back on and, with the help of Shayna Gaunt and Shira Karpel from How to ABA, there arenât many conundrums that can get past us. This week, we discuss ethical systems, the best BCBAs, and possible solutions to real-life ethical problems from listeners. Because itâs always good to have ethics friends!

Despite having done multiple episodes on the PFA, weâve never actually talked about what happens next in treatment. Fortunately, amazing clinician (and nicest BCBA in the biz) Dr. Cory Whelan joined us to put the kibosh on our CAB chain questions. From Branch 1 to 100, we get the scoop on just how skill-based treatment works and why you too might want to master these steps.

Coming from a land down under, weâre joined this week by Dr. Erin Leif who shares the trials and tribulations that come from navigating the growing field of ABA in Australia. And, in the middle of all that, stops to teach us about practices that we can all use to better uphold the rights of people with disabilities as well as what to do when your best efforts donât quite cut the kangaroo. Plus: More Australia references than you can shake a didgereedoo at.

School seems to be even worse than ever post-pandemic. And students are showing their opinion byâŠnot going. In this recording of our live presentation from last yearâs Thompson Center for Autism Conference, we review the history of school attendance problems as well as the basics of treatment for this increasingly dire problem. And how behavior analysts can guarantee a seat at the treatment table by doing what we do best: Understand human behavior! Thanks once again to our friends at the Thompson Center for Autism for giving us the opportunity to share on this important topic.

Boo! Welcome to the spookiest bunch of episodes about behavior analysis that you ever did see. First, we trick your podcast feed with a recording of our presentation at last yearâs Thompson Center conference all about school attendance problems. After that, itâs guests, guests, guests as we talk with Dr. Erin Leif about promoting client rights, talk with Dr. Cory Whelan about conducting skill based treatment, and then respond to BCBA ethical questions with Shayna Gaunt and Shira Karpel from âHow to ABAâ. And an update on behavior analysis from around the globe. Well, from Australia, Canada, and Massachusetts at least. Plus: the return of the Beer-haviorist!

We wrap up Supervision September with a new Book Club all talking to your staff about discipline. Sure, weâre all fans of BST, meaningful reinforcement contingencies in the workplace, and helpful environmental arrangments when it comes to helping supervisees and employees do their best work. But when is it appropriate to stop being polite and to start being real? While we may not agree with everything in Dick Groteâs business supervision book, it sure was nice to have someone draw the line when supervisors have done everything they can and supervisees need to take responsibility for their own behavior. Looking at you BCBA who just took five consecutive three-day weekends.

Weâre continuing Supervision September with a look into the future of supervision: Remotely supervising others from the comfort of your own home. Or, at least, it seemed like a futuristic skill five or six years ago. But even though weâre all comfortable with Zoom-ing into an appointment, does that make us capable of effectively supervising staff and trainees using the same modalities? We look at some of the common barriers encountered in remote supervision work, some solutions to overcome them, and some tips for how to bring everything together to create meaningful and effective supervision activities.

Hooray! Itâs Supervision September! And our first supervision episode is all about the soft skills. But that doesnât make teaching them easy! The ability to build a therapeutic rapport with clients is increasingly being identified as a key component of the BCBAâs clinical skillset. But if youâre only just learning to do this yourself, how will you supervise the next generation to do this work? This week we review some promising research articles that may kick your compassionate skills training into overdrive. And we even brought a clicker!

Despite strong evidence as to the efficacy of ABA services in supporting meaningful outcomes of clients across a number of relevant dimensions, do we actually know if the ABA service industry is actually any good? This week we dive into the paucity of research on measuring and developing quality ABA services and discuss whether the business of ABA is anywhere near as good as the science of ABA at solving meaningful problems. Hot take: Itâs probably not!

We just wanna say to you all tonight, weâre very, very grateful to be here. A lot of people told us that weâd never podcast about behavior analysis again and that's all we do.
You know, if you live hard and play hard and you burn the candle at both ends, you pay the price for it.
You know in this life you can lose everything that you love, everything that loves you."
Now we don't hear as good as we used to, and we forget stuff. And we ain't as pretty as we used to be. But darn it, weâre still standing here and weâre "ABA Inside Track."
You know as time goes by -- as time goes by, they say:
"Weâre washed up."
âWeâre finished.â
âWeâre losers.â
âWeâre all through.â
You know what? The only one that's going to tell us when weâre through doing our thing is you people here.
You people here -- You people here are the ones who are worth bringing it for because you're our family.
We love all of you!
Thank you so much!
