Discover what’s possible when behavioral science is creatively broadcasted.

Have you ever heard of Applied Behavior Analysis? Have you ever wondered how it came to be used in autism services?

If you’re curious about the true story behind the origins of Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA for short, you’ll want to listen to this episode with Ryan O’Donnell, where he shares his passion for disseminating behavioral science.

Ryan O’Donnell is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, videographer, and entrepreneur. Through quick and easy-to-digest YouTube videos, he makes behavioral science publicly accessible so that people of all ages can experience their version of success. Ryan’s recent film, The History of Applied Behavior Analysis, is available for free exclusively at thebehavioracademy.com.

In the summer of 2019, Ryan collaborated with the Global Autism Project to document our training approach and highlight our partners at Kaizora Center for Neurodevelopmental Disabilities, in Kenya. You can watch these videos on his YouTube channel, The Daily BA

In this conversation, among other things, we discuss:

  • A condensed history of behavioral science, from early controversial practices of behavior modification to modern ABA used in autism services
  • Relatable examples of practical ABA in every day 
  • Ryan’s experiences working with the adult population
  • Different services that are available for families
  • This conversation with Ryan O'Donnell was originally released on June 18, 2020.
