ABA on Tap is proud to host a very special guest brewer, The Behavior Influencer herself, Kendall Ryndak Samuel. Kendall shares her incredible story and her clear objective to make ABA accessible and ever relevant. She discusses her use of ABA in sports training, as well as her daily contact with a mass of followers on social media. Kendall also takes time to elaborate on her idea behind writing and publishing 'Talk Behavior to Me: The Routledge Dictionary of the Top 150 Behavior Analytic Terms and Translations,' her highly anticipated, soon to be released book. This book will bring ABA technology in its robust form, but make it palatable for anyone interested. Find Kendall, 'the.behavior.influencer', on Tik-Tok and pre-order her book at the following links:

In this brewing session, despite a wealth of choices, Dan and Mike focus on the basic ingredients in looking at a medical model in comparison to a social model. As behavior analysts, it's easy to see the stakeholder as the principal agent for change, and overlook our impetus for changing behavior, the surrounding environment. Models of disability take this as their basic kernel for debate. As is the final resolution in most binary discussions, Mike and Dan agree that it's not one model over the other, it's both models working in collaboration. This session delineates the 'pros' and 'cons' of each model as they relate both past and current perspectives on the notion of disability.

This is a big brew--bold with a lot of flavors to explore. It may preset bitter at first, but please do wait for the finish as it is satisfying. It's been a long day and you need to unwind with a good brew. This is the one for you. Sip slowly, breathe easy and always analyze responsibly.

The terms 'empirically validated' and 'evidence-based' get thrown around a lot, specifically in describing the prospects of any given medically-based treatment. ABA is no stranger to the phrasing and enjoys a prominent place on the list of such treatments--namely the top of the list. This, however, does not mean that treatments without empirical validation may not hold some evidence or use. And to much dismay,  empirically validated approaches are not always implemented successfully. In fact, even evidence based approaches can fall short due to human error.

This is part 2 of this dense and tasty brew, Mike and Dan explore the empirical validation of ABA as well as other treatments deemed 'evidence-based' by most research standards. They also take time to examine what it means to not meet such a standard and those concoctions should be consumed, if at all.

This is a stout---dark, bold with some hints of sweetness and a long finish. Take this one slow but pour bountifully, and always analyze responsibly.

Super craft brew for this episode. Dan and Mike take time to interview a parent, Jess, with her own, very unique experience with ASD and ABA intervention. Jess is a sole-provider with two young children, her youngest on the spectrum. She lends her insight and experiences regarding sibling rivalry, managing extended family attitudes about disability and services, as well as making herself available for said services. Jess gives an honest account of her struggles and better yet, provides an encouraging message for parents given her outcomes.

Sip a nice and easy brew in this episode. Cheers to Jess and all hard-working, dedicated parents. Always analyze responsibly.

Welcome to Season 5 of ABA on Tap! In an effort to bring more support directly to parents, as well as ABA professionals, Mike and Dan kick off the season with an article review (link below). Right in line with the objective, an article from a parenting magazine about 'what not to do' with autistic children is reviewed for this brew. As has been the recipe on ABA on Tap, whenever Dan and Mike here 'don't', they automatically ponder the 'do' portion of such a recommendation. This episode takes advantage of an excellent resource and article geared toward parents, reviews the highlights, expands the discussion, and varies the possibilities.

This is a light and refreshing blend, 'thanks' to Jeremy Brown and his parenting wisdom. So get cozy, help yourself to a pour, and always analyze responsibly.
