Is AI about to change behavior analysis forever?

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Adam Ventura, founder of Intraverbal AI, to unpack what’s really happening at the intersection of artificial intelligence and ABA and what it means for clinicians, researchers, and practice owners right now.

We explore:

• Whether AI could become part of your ABA treatment team
• The ethical concerns the field can’t ignore
• How AI is transforming session notes, reports, and research
• Why ABA may be moving faster than it’s ready for
• A bold prediction for where AI and ABA are headed by 2030

We also go beyond technology, diving into leadership, decision-making, parenting, and what it means to build something that lasts. If you’re a BCBA, RBT, clinic owner, student, or simply curious about the future of ABA, this conversation will challenge how you think about AI.

🎧 Watch now and decide for yourself:

Is AI a breakthrough tool… or a risky shortcut?
