Episode 229 - Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions w/ Dr. Jamie Hughes-Lika

This week we welcome back the fabulous Dr. Jamie Hughes-Lika to teach us how to correctly pronounce naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions. Once that’s out of the way Dr. Hughes-Lika gets into the nitty-gritty of what makes an NDBI like the Early Start Denver Model, how it is (and isn’t) the same as standard behavioral interventions, and what research has to say about the benefits of understanding developmental models of child growth. Plus, two treatment models go head-to-head and only one can win…or does it? This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Vivanti, G. & Stahmer, A.C. (2021).
