While ABA rightfully touts empirical validation, social validity may not always reflect as strongly. One need not go further than Google to find a plethora of harsh criticism against ABA. Such a vocal critic is found in Chloe Everett and her TEDTalk entitled "The Problem with Applied Behavior Analysis" (https://youtu.be/pCqEb0aG7tg). Chloe is a well-spoken young woman who shares her experience as a 'patient' of ABA intervention given her diagnostic experience. In her talk, Chloe gives honest and useful criticism but also lends a number of misconceptions that warrant discussion, correction and ultimately, resolution. In what promises to be the first of many episodes dedicated to criticisms of ABA, we give Chloe the floor first and explore and explain her concerns. Stay tuned for Part II of episdoe 7, where we further explore her criticism and offer solutions for future practice, in addition to our humble corrections of some of the more egregious claims relayed in her talk.

ABA on Tap excitedly welcomes our first guest ever to the podcast. Kadi Jones is a longtime practitioner and licensed BCBA residing and working in Arizona. Unlike some practitioners in California (e.g., your esteemed hosts Mike and Dan), Kadi has been practicing as usual throughout the entire pandemic thus far, delivering in-home ABA services and adapting essential safety parameters. We have spent some time examining new ideas learned from 'TeleHealth' delivery of ABA services. In this episode, we learn about safe in-home, ABA practice as we continually define risk-management and prevention of contagion during service delivery. Stay home if you can, wear a mask, deliver SDs from at least 6 feet away, and always analyze responsibly.

As people prepare to re-enter the workplace, having been 'sheltered-in-place,' ABA professionals, educators and parents alike are compelled to consider the past 4 months. What have we learned? Prior episodes have examined the exciting advancements made for our understanding of 'TeleHealth' as it pertains to ABA, especially as surfaced by quarantine. So as we contemplate re-opening our ABA services here in California--not all providers stopped in-home service--Dan and Mike lend some insight in an effort to optimize ABA services as well as the safety of the environments in which they are delivered. So, sit back in your 6-foot radius (or otherwise wear a face covering), and enjoy a nice pour of ABA on Tap. Always analyze responsibly--cheers!

Quarantine, or perhaps more accurately stated 'shelter in place,' has certainly put a new spin on our daily lives, to phrase it mildly. We find ourselves taking stock and placing new value on every day stimuli. In this episode, Mike and Dan work to redefine 'screen time' for parents now contending with school content, as well as for professionals considering aspects of stimulus control and socialization on this so-called 'social-media' platform. Where many weeks ago we clamored to limit screen time, we now find ourselves seeking better ways to apply it, if not downright enforce it--who knew?! As always, the discussion provides as many new questions as prospective and absolute answers, but concludes with some practical concepts and suggestions that are easy to consume. Stay safe, stay well and always analyze responsibly. Cheers!

*ABA on Tap is recorded live in front of a virtual studio audience.
**Please bear with us during shelter in place as we record this audio over a video conference--and sometimes you can hear it ; )

Mike and Dan take you back to the beginning of ABA on Tap to share a studio out-take not published at the time of production. After some review, they have decided the information in this previously unreleased episode needs to be heard. In "More than MORE", a thorough discussion regarding the use of some 'starter' verbal behaviors like signing 'more', is presented. While helpful and exciting, such simple signs can often be overused and become overgeneralized, hindering progress in vocal and verbal behavior instead  of promoting it. As always your comments and questions are encouraged. Please find us on Facebook and connect. Always analyze responsibly--cheers!

*Please note that this episode does not show as most recent but is listed by date of upload (not date of publication, 11-10-2021).

Pedagogy, professionalism and parenting alike are invited to toast and learn with Mike and Dan. Cheers! And remember, always analyze responsibly.
