And how does choice factor into working with individuals with disabilities? Next week, special guest Dr. Allen Karsina joins us to share his research and insight onto the subject. In the meantime your regular hosts get nostalgic about all the psych experiments they were subjected to as undergrads. And for anyone applying for CEs, we've created a new button so you can put your info right in on the webpage.

Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe On Google Play Subscribe on Stitcher While we all try to teach individuals to use the potty in a day, what can we do after a week? We discuss research related to increasing the intensity of toilet training, transferring stimulus control, and using alarm systems before the conversation devolves into gross poop anecdotes and debates about archaic idioms. You might think we've run out of ideas while listening to us rattle off every name we can think of for the toilet, but flush those thoughts away. We eventually swirl back to some meaningful discussion about toilet training for children with disabilities. Then back to potty humor. It's our most mature episode yet.

We're going off the rails on the way to Dissemination Station this week in a discussion of trial-based functional analysis procedures and their place in the assessment of problem behavior. Can this procedure provide sweet middle ground between the robust flavor of a full FA and the doughy, blandness of an FBA? All that and a discussion of which Hogwarts house Rob and Diana would be sorted into and what visuals Jackie uses to understand bar graphs.
