Hey, ABA Inside Track, I thought I told you not to podcast in here no more. Hey, did you record that episode on research on bullying behavior? You took notes on a meta-analysis of current bullying prevention programs and single-subject research looking closer at specific programs in behavior analysis, including a program for individuals with disabilities? Think, ABA Inside Track, think! If you put out an episode detailing effective treatment for decreasing bullying behavior and improving victimization outcomes, I'll be out of a job, and you wouldn't want that to happen, woudja? Wouldja? This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Gaffney, H., Farrington, D.P., & Ttofi, M.M. (2019).

And yea, the functional analysis sprung from the head of Iwata et al. And the results were good. Fast forward a few decades and researchers are still exploring the limits of this game changing assessment tool, finding ways for BCBAs to conduct safer and faster procedures. And to sum up some recent touchstone moments in this journey, we're joined by researcher and FA history expert, Dr. Jessica Slaton to look at 40 year…and beyond!

Unlike mercy, our quality of life does NOT droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven. Instead, our perception of how well (or not) our lives are is based on a number of factors relating to job satisfaction, social relationships, and physical wellbeing. Or so we thought. Turns out, all measures of quality of life may not be created equally, especially for autistic individuals. This week, we hit the research journals to identify what does and doesn't matter in improving quality of life (and, what research still has to find out!). This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Bernhardt, J.B., Larn, G.Y.H., Thomas, T., Cubells, J.F., Bohlke, K. Reid, M., & Rice, C.E. (2020).

We were walking through the park today, because it's the Merry Merry Month of May! And, who should we run into but our book club pal, Alan, to ring in the new topics we'll be discussing this month. After reminiscing on the fun of discussing Neurotribes, we look forward to our episodes on quality of life, bullying, and the evolution of the functional analysis with Dr. Jessica Slaton. We're about as funny as a screen door on a battleship. Articles for May 2021 Quality of Life Bernhardt, J.B., Larn, G.Y.H., Thomas, T., Cubells, J.F., Bohlke, K. Reid, M., & Rice, C.E. (2020).

Got any behavior analytic research? Plenty! And good as only ABA Inside Track could discuss 'em.

Going way back to our very first episode, we're talking all about tummy time. You know, that fun activity where you put a baby on its stomach to strengthen muscles and minimize the risk of getting a flat head. The one that makes most babies cry hysterically. Now research is here to inform how we can promote this very necessary activity without all the tears. Don't shell out your hard-earned cash on a tummy time play mat until you've listened to this episode! This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

Now that we've gotten our vaccines, we're all back together at the studio table and raring to discuss this month's episodes. First, we're taking it back to the beginning with an episode on infant behavior, specifically, tummy time. Then we'll be joined by Camille Morgan from the Love, Sex, and ABA podcast to discuss LGBTQIA+ diversity. Finally, we dust off the ol' grab bag for the 11th time? Or 12th. We've lost track.
