In Episode 155, Ben chats with Dr. Yaniz Padilla Dalmau. She has a specialty in the assessment and treatment of challenging behavior using an applied behavior analytic (ABA) approach. Yaniz has a passion for improving access to behavior analytic services for underserved populations through novel models such as telehealth and through consideration of cultural variables within assessment and treatment. One of her life’s missions has been to bridge the service gap in the area of ABA for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Puerto Rico.

Yaniz has received training at the University of Iowa and the Kennedy Krieger Institute/Johns Hopkins University’s Neurobehavioral Outpatient Unit. She has practiced at the Virginia Institute of Autism’s outpatient behavioral services and Seattle Children’s Hospital Biobehavioral Program and Pediatric Feeding Program.

Episode 153 features a conversation with the intervening President Denisha Gingles, and Vice-President Cammie Williams of the Black Applied Behavior Analysts, Inc. which paused operations in July 2023 following two unfortunate situations that occurred at our 2023 conference in Detroit: a physical and verbal attack, as well as homophobic statements made from one of their members to another.  Among other things, these incidents exposed how far BABA had drifted from its founding purpose: the uplift of the entire Black community in the behavior analytic space.  In this episode, Denisha and Cammie outline the history of BABA from its beginnings and their path toward transformative healing. As well they share exciting news about their upcoming mini-conference, BLACK CON!  

Stay tuned to the Behaviour Speak Podcast over the next few months as we share mini-episodes highlighting some of the positive experiences of attendees at the 2023 conference.

In Episode 151, Ben chats with Dr. Amanda Young. Dr. Young is Hidatsa of MHA Nation and an Anishinaabe of Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, both reservations of North Dakota. Amanda received her PhD in Counselling Psychology from Oklahoma State in 2022. Her current research embraces the stories of Native women who are leaders within the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Movement in what’s colonially known as the U.S. She is hopeful this research will help rewrite the narrative of Native women, as we are more than a statistic. Currently, Dr. Young is completing her Postdoctoral Fellowship at Two Feathers Native American Family Services in Humboldt County, CA

Correction: Near the end of the episode, Dr. Young referenced two recently murdered relatives, Cole Brings Plenty and Trey Allen Glass, who was mistakenly named "Terry Cross" in the podcast.

In  Episode 148,  Ben chats with Deb Fernando, who is quite possibly the only Indigenous behaviour analyst in all of Australia.  Deb is a proud Bigambul, Gomeroi woman with strong connections to far northwest NSW within the Gamilaraay language nation. She has 30 years’ experience working with First Nations communities throughout Australia, including urban, rural, and remote locations.  

Deb started her career as a chef, then worked in government organisation troubleshooting major problems in servicing First Nations people in remote communities.

She then went on to work with the University of South Australia where her team of researchers received the Vice Chancellors award for excellence in engaging in communities. Moving from SA back to New South Wales she began working with the SAX institute as the Study manager to progress their First Nations child health research project in urban and rural children's health. Within a short time, they established the project in five major Aboriginal Medical services, which identified the gaps in services to First Nations children within these areas. One highlight was establishing ongoing specialized services such as hearing and speech therapy for First Nations families.
