Discover what’s possible when certification is just the beginning. 

The CEO of Global Autism Project, Molly Ola Pinney, is joined by the Co-Founder of the International Behavior Analysis Organization, Dr. Michael Mueller. The IBAO certifies practitioners to ensure ethical practices, protect consumers, and maintain appropriate educational standards in the field of ABA around the world. 

A board certified behavior analyst, Mike has authored 11 books, including Behavior Analytic Consultation to Schools, and the Assessment of Functional Living Skills (AFLS), a seven-volume series to guide in the assessment of teaching everyday life skills to learners of all ages. He has also published dozens of research articles and served on the editorial board of several prestigious journals, including the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, the School Psychology Review, and the Journal of Evidence Based Practices for Schools, to name a few.

In this conversation, we discuss:

  • What prompted the start of the IBAO
  • Former barriers to certification, including cost and accessibility
  • How the IBAO makes certification more attainable for practitioners who don’t hold a Master’s degree
  • Ethical considerations to addressing cultural differences
  • The distinction between certification and licensure
  • Collaboration between Global Autism Project and the IBAO
  • Tips for ABA practitioners
