The brew continues to mature as Mike and Dan evolve the discussion naturally into the next flavor, antecedent based strategies. Given ABA has been driven largely by a consequence base, the discussion leads into how to prepare for certain behaviors ahead of time, knowing they are actively being emitted. The idea becomes not to preempt or avoid the behavior, but to prepare for it in terms of learning potential toward the next time the same circumstance arises. In this manner, consequence approaches are fortified, given the effort to redirect the behavior prior to emission as well as prepare for the consequence base. Enjoy! And always analyze responsibly.

Welcome to Season 2 of ABA on Tap--Happy New Year! Mike and Dan jump right back in where they left off. Following the natural progression and discussion thus far, they happen upon differential reinforcement in order to promote a more multivariate application of ABA than seems the norm. Given the perpetuation of 3-part contingencies, the so-called ABCs of behavior, ABA in practice is often an amalgam of single, linear contingencies as opposed to a dynamic evocation of many behaviors subject to shaping and differential reinforcement in a more naturalized environment. As always, the quest from lab to living room continues. Cheers! And always analyze responsibly.

After entertaining Chloe's criticisms and doing so seriously, Dan and Mike take a chance to explore ABA clichés--all those little overused misconceptions and stereotypes we hear out in our daily work about why ABA doesn't work. All the while, ABA touts empirical validation. How do we reconcile  between what is proven and the possibility of user-error--how does ABA work for many and yet have such a vocal opposition? What are the grievances and which are legitimate? Which grievances are more based on misunderstanding and user-error? Sit back, relax and sip on something good as you imbibe this episode.

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 ; )

In only their second published episode, Mike Rubio and Daniel Lowery are compelled to deal with quarantine and the current COVID-19 circumstance as they keep their distance and connect remotely. They posit many topics for discussion and consideration, covering new 'levels of service' in ABA during this era of social distancing, as well as suggesting many themes for future dialogue. Dan and Mike invite you to post your questions and comments. This is but the beginning of many discussions on what promises to be an important shift in ABA services. Though temporary, the current 'shelter in place' order across many states is creating a motivating operation for pros and parents alike, to redefine ABA practice and implementation. Welcome to Q-ABA. Let's make good use of the time and learn something together. Cheers! Always analyze responsibly...and for now, do so at least 6-feet apart. Be well and stay safe out there.
