It is common for those diagnosed with autism to have some type of feeding disorder. Understanding and trying to correct a feeding disorder can be very difficult and time-consuming. Consistent and intensive treatment is most necessary for the treatment of feeding disorders. Henry Roane provides treatment assessment considerations while giving clarity to operational definitions, types of feeding disorders, and evidence-based treatments.

Join Operant Innovations as we talk with Dr. Laura Hanratty about the unique program and practical opportunities at Elms College.

Today we are joined by Dr. Cody Morris, BCBA-D, LBA from Salve Regina University in Newport, RI. Located on the Atlantic Ocean, Salve Regina has one of the most beautiful campuses that I have had the pleasure of visiting. Not only will you get amazing views, but as Dr. Morris explains you will gain knowledge and a passion for the science of behavior by engaging in a wide array of practicum, research, and dissemination opportunities.

“You can develop a highly effective treatment that works beautifully in a well-controlled space, but if that intervention is not practical and is not something that people are willing to do, it simply will not be adopted.”  Iser G. DeLeon, PhD, BCBA-D Abstract 

A Florida Tech grad student describes how behavior analysis is more than just working with autism

I have a bunch of material, but when do I apply it? To whom? To what scale? How? Karin Torsiello discusses the need to refine our interactions with all parties involved in the treatment of a client, emphasizing the steps needed to ensure an effective intervention. By considering successful and unsuccessful outcomes, this CE will provide you with the skillset to identify when an intervention is needed and to what degree.

Dangerous behavior simply can’t be ignored. The person engaging in it is going to either hurt herself or someone else if it continues. Saying that is easy, knowing what to do about it is a rabbit hole. At what point does the behavior become more than “disruptive” and cross the “dangerous” threshold?

The field of Applied Behavior Analysis is growing and, as it continues to grow, we have a responsibility to the next generation of behavior analysts. In this continuing education course, Dr. Schlinger will challenge you to consider how we can do a better job of educating future behavior analysts. He uses literature to make the case for an increased focus on experimental and conceptual analysis. With an understanding that behavior is multiply controlled, it seems obvious that no single form of treatment will work.

An extension of Kennedy’s work was published seven years later in 1999, by James Carr and colleagues. Their paper assessed the frequency of social-validity measures reported in the first 31 years of JABA. They analyzed the difference in trends of reporting social validity for experiments that had highly controlled analog settings versus more naturalistic and dynamic settings. The reason for doing so harkens back to Kennedy’s comments about the difference between basic and applied research. 

This course reviews research related to ADHD and ASD and best practices. This course would benefit BCaBAs, BCBAs, Teachers, School Psychologists, Speech Pathologists, Physicians, and anyone working with individuals with ADHD and/or a combination of ADHD and ASD.

Thought Leaders, we are back with Dr. R. Wayne Fuqua as he answers the questions "Where do you see the field going?" and/or "Where would he like to see the field go?"

This dynamic six-part webinar series will focus on emerging research in behavior analysis in building therapeutic relationships with caregivers, the skills to build these relationships, and strategies to strengthen these relationships over time.

Join Operant Innovations as they speak with Michigan State University's Dr. Matt Brodhead and doctoral student Emma Sipila.

Join Operant Innovations as we talk to Dr. Hallie Smith about one of the newest programs at Mississippi State University! Don't let the newness of this program throw you, behavior analysis has been a part of the MSU community for some time. With the growing need, a standalone program was founded and has grown exponentially since its inception. You won't want to miss out on this program.
