Welcome to ABA Ultimate Showdown - a podcast promoting constructive, respectful, and professional discourse to advance the field of behavior analysis. 

In March of 2020, amidst the US’s stay at home recommendations, we were asked to participate in a forum for stressed professionals to take a break and connect with others. We jumped at the chance to work some levity into our format. It ended up being a great day of collaboration and definitely took our minds off of everything that is going on in the world. We hope this finds you and your loved ones in good health and send our thoughts and best wishes to all of you. Thank you to the Ryan and Salena for inviting us as well as everyone who participated in the meet up!
