What is one way that we learn new behaviors? We watch people who are good at them. What happens when the behaviors we are learning aren't good behaviors? Join Dr. Scott Geller as he talks about how to learn by watching, the good and the bad of observational learning, and how observational learning plays into current worldly issues.

Today we are joined by Dr. James Hawkins and Dr. Neil Deochand from the University of Cincinnati Distance Learning Program. There are a plethora of distance learning programs and it can be very hard to decipher between them, but after speaking with Dr. Hawkins and Dr. Deochand you can hear the passion that they put into their program.

When implementing changes based in behavior analysis in an organization, it is important to take a holistic approach to best achieve results. You must be able to tie your intervention with outputs and actualized business results, especially when attempting to gain buy-in from management. It is also important to recognize the many associated factors with an intervention, some of which include time, audience, budget, and objectives.

Supervisors should expressly teach trainees how to engage in observational learning to facilitate growth and development well past the supervisory relationship.

Partnering with the Florida Institute of Technology (FIT), ABA Technologies, Inc., makes professional development products available online for applied behavior analysis practitioners and related professions. In addition, ABA Tech’s instructional design and support team builds coursework for the Verified Course Sequences (VCS) offered through Florida Tech’s ABA Online program and School of Behavior Analysis.

This week, Maddie Duke speaks with Joshua Levins, a BCBA who focuses on teaching the behaviors essential for learning.

Humans are constantly in search of the newest, brightest solution for problems in everyday life. We download countless apps for tracking calories, learning languages, working out, budgeting—you name it. In education, we do the same. But the newest, brightest thing in teaching and learning might not be the solution

When practiced most effectively and ethically, special education is also characterized by the use of research-based teaching methods, the application of which is guided by direct and frequent measures of student performance. William Heward, EdD, BCBA-D

Generalization is one of those areas in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) that is critical to the success of any child, student, and adult with autism or autism spectrum disorder. The concept of generalization is introduced in any college academic course when learning about how the scientific principles of behavior analysis apply to changes in human behavior.

This episode focuses on the fact that effective supervisory relationships are built on bi-directional collaborative efforts on the part of the supervisor and the supervisee. There are risks for supervisee, supervisor, clients, and the field as a whole if there is no collaborative effort and the two parties do not each feel respected, valued, and acknowledged. The podcast describes strategies for setting expectations for the relationship from the outset and for establishing collaborative goals for supervision. The importance of bi-directional feedback is explored and strategies for creating a committed and healthy learning context are reviewed.
