In Part 4, Dr. Mark Sundberg expands on his previous courses and delves into developing and implementing a language intervention program based on the results of the VB-MAPP Assessments.* Dr. Sundberg overviews typical language development milestones and the implications these have for children and adults with language delays. With the assistance of a completed VB-MAPP, participants will learn the steps to beginning, developing, and implementing an intervention program. Verbal operants will be broken down, and considerations for the selection of goals will be discussed.

Today we are joined by Dr. Doug Greer, Dr. Jessica Dudek, & Dr. Daniel Fienup from Teachers College Columbia University and CABAS. This is one of the oldest programs in the country and has developed into a very unique program. To quote Dr. Doug Greer, "We’re sort of like Indiana Jones. We want to get our whip, hat, and go out there and deal with it, but we don't use whips."

Today we are joined by Dr. Holly Rittenhouse-Cea from University of Dayton's Online ABA Program. This isn't just your ordinary online program, with small cohorts and a plethora of opportunities to connect with faculty and other students you are guaranteed to get out of this program, what you put in.

Copies of the world made within the skin either by the brain or mind are unnecessary, and a search for them will not lead to an account for conscious content. T. V. Joe Lang, PhD 

Bad or Possibly Redeemable Label?A procedure in which each target response postpones a scheduled reinforcer most often is described in both the basic and applied research and practice literature as a differential-reinforcement-of-other-behavior

This month on Thought Leaders, we are joined by Dr. Sigrid Glenn as she tells us how her unusual journey to the field of Behavior Analysis in the 60's and how she has been instrumental in building the program at UNT and the Culturo-Behavioral Science Movement. -

Throughout this series we will be hearing from the amazing minds behind ABA Technologies

“Consciousness is nothing more than a word evoked by many different behaviors under different circumstances. We should not allow ourselves to debate “what is consciousness” or “what is the nature of consciousness” because there is no resolution to such a debate.” Hank Schlinger Jr, PhD, BCBA-D

“Why did Johnny just throw the mother of all temper tantrums?” is a question many of you have asked and been asked, in some form or another. The response to this question, under scrutiny, may have been different. The perpetrator may have been different. The circumstances may have been different.

Thought Leaders, we are sitting down and speaking with Dr. Wayne Fuqua about his history shaped him into the behavior analyst he is today and a chance encounter that could have changed the future of the field of behavior analysis as we know it.

Ogden Lindsley was one of Skinner’s students and wanted to use behavior analysis from the lab to help people. This is how Precision Teaching (PT) was born: as a combination of rate of response and cumulative response recording. Precision Teaching holds the same values as ABA, with a focus on only observable behavior and using data to guide decision making while also having learners interpret their own performance data as well.

Often, as Behavioral Scientists, we focus mainly on Nurture, but it is important that we don't forget about Nature. There are many factors that go into creating who we are. Many Behavioral Scientists talk about this - Anthony Biglan & Susan Schnieder - and many others that also take the environment into consideration - Eva Jablonka. So, as Behavioral Scientists, what factors should we be taking into consideration? How does the environment work in conjunction with our genetics, and vice versa?
